Abstract

The stem borer Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a major limiting factor in sugarcane production in Côte d'Ivoire, while yield is also reduced by poor soil quality. Borer management options include multiple approaches, including the proper application of chemical inputs. In such a context, it was interesting to study the effect of reasoned fertilization on the defence responses of sugarcane to Eldana saccharina. 3 plots divided into several microplots were used for experimentation. Each plot was subdivided into 3 blocks and each block received a dose based on soil analyses and the objective set. A significant reduction in damage caused by stem borers was observed on the T₁ microplots due to the low rate of fertilizer applied, with average attack rates ≤ 10% overall. It should also be noted that the treatments that received urea alone had attack rates in the order of 6 to 7% unlike the treatments where urea was combined with other types of fertilizer. In fact, nitrogen is not only a factor in sugarcane yield but also a key element in the development of stalk borer larvae if it is not applied in an appropriate manner. While agro-ecological pest management, unlike conventional pest management, does not provide a faster response, it can provide sustainable protection of crops against stem borers while preserving the environment. In this respect, applications of silicon-based fertilizers, the installation of light traps and the application of essential oil against stem borers should be a feature of the next agricultural seasons in Borotou-Koro.
