The Sugarcane shoot borer, Chilo infuscatellus Snell. a key pest of sugarcane enjoys a wide distribution in the sugarcane growing areas of India (Avasthy and Tiwari, 1986) and accounts for significant loss in cane yield and sugar recovery (Patil and Hapase, 1981). A granulosis virus (GV) reported from C. infuscatellus (Easwaramoorthy and David, 1979) and was found to be highly pathogenic to C. infuscatellus in laboratory studies (Easwaramoorthy, 1984). Application of GV at 109 and 107 inclusion boidies (IB)/ml and carbofuran at 1 and 2 Kg a.i./ha reduced the shoot borer incidence (Easwaramoorthy and Santhalakshmi, 1988). Present studies were carried out to study the efficacy of GV in comparaison and in alternation with insecticides.
