AbstractThe biology, damage and control of the sugarcane pest Pyrilla perpusilla Walker are reviewed. The present systematic position, distribution and the range of alternative host plants are surveyed and the life cycle and the extent of damage caused by the pest are considered in detail. The factors influencing the abundance of the insect are discussed, with emphasis on their use in reducing the population of the pest. Much of the published data in this area is based on un replicated observations. However, potential biological control agents for the insect are evaluated with special reference to the most effective nymphal and adult ‘parasitoid’, the moth Epiricania melanoleuca (Fletcher). Many other potential biological control agents have received some study, but in most cases, little more than basic biological information on phenology and life cycle has been published. As considerable changes in chemical control practices over the past fifty years have occurred, these, together with other control methods such as agronomic, mechanical, cultural and host plant resistance approaches are discussed along with prospects for the future, sustainable control of the pest. Research areas which are in need of more work are identified: these are biological control and cultural practices. It is suggested that an integrated approach to future research should be made, incorporating at least host-plant resistance and predation.
