Abstract: The main types of sugarcane borers in the sugarcane area and their field damage during the sugarcane growth cycle in China were introduced. Based on the research results of sugarcane borer control in China and abroad, this article focused on research progress of sugarcane borers, including agricultural control, physical control, biological control, chemical control and the integration and application of green control technology, and pointed out the advantages and the disadvantages of each individual control measures of sugarcane borer. The research direction of each individual control measure was proposed:increase the selection and breeding of sugarcane borer resistant varieties;increase field trials to verify the actual control effect of biological control, and select biological control methods and organisms suitable for large scale field control of sugarcane borers;screen high efficiency, low toxicity, and environmentally friendly insecticides; study trapping techniques and attractants based on female insects;strengthen research on sugarcane borer behavior and chemical ecology. And organically combine the individual control technologies to establish a green, sustainable development sugarcane borer control technology system and control strategies of"prevention first, comprehensive control".
