Sugarcane grows for a long period of 10-12 months and is therefore susceptible to many insect attacks. Insect infestation can lower sugarcane yield by 20-25%, as per an estimate. More than 200 insects can damage sugarcane, such as Early Shoot Borer, Internode Borer, Top Shoot Borer, Termite, Whitefly, Scale Insect and Root Grub. Out of them, around 12 insects can affect both the amount and quality of the crop severely. Modern agriculture is also harmed by weather events caused by climate change, excessive use of pesticides, and the fast exhaustion of natural resources. Biocontrol action is a key tool for integrated pest management (IPM), as it offers more eco-friendly and health-friendly options than conventional methods.

Biopesticides are more eco-friendly than conventional pesticides because they are pesticides that are obtained from natural sources, such as microorganisms, plants, oils, and minerals. They are safer, more specific, and more biodegradable than synthetic pesticides. They usually affect only the target pest and closely related organisms, unlike broad spectrum, conventional pesticides that may harm organisms as well as birds, insects, and mammals. For sugarcane crops, biopesticides can be used to control various pests. Biopesticides can also improve the soil quality and crop productivity of sugarcane. Here are the best organic products from the UAL brand.
