Biological Control Of The Sugar Cane Leafhopper In Hawaii PDF Download

Excerpt from A Sugar-Cane Leaf-Hopper in Hawaii Up to the present time, the sugar plantations have been particularly free from serious attacks of insect pests and dis ease. Because 'of this the planters are little acquainted with the insect life to be found in their cane fields. The cane-borer (sphenophorus obscuras Boisd.) has been the most destructive and for that reason the one most generally known. It is safe to say that the borer and the hopper will not be the only pests with which the planters will have to contend in the fu ture.
