Résumé : Each year from January to December, field surveys are conducted throughout South African sugarcane primarily for the key pest, Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Monitoring allows detection of excessive larval infestations for early harvesting to assist in reducing populations on an area-wide scale, selection of suitable carryover fields and inspection of seed cane. During surveying, known arthropod crop spoilers are recorded and staff remain vigilant for possible new arthropod incursions. These data provide information about regional infestations of E. saccharina in the industry. Furthermore, related agronomic information is recorded thus providing evidence to support the value of current management tactics employed to reduce the adverse affects of E. saccharina. Additional applications for the E. saccharina records in the database are being researched such as investigating infestations recorded in different varieties, mapping infestations, and for the production of region loss estimates.
