3.2 Pests of Sorghum_Identification, Symptoms and nature of damage, Binomics,...
Sorghum is a staple food crop for millions of people, particularly in regions with semi-arid climates where other crops may struggle to grow. It's used in various culinary applications, including flour for bread, porridge, and as a whole grain in dishes.Sorghum is increasingly being used as a feedstock for biofuel production, particularly ethanol. Its high cellulose content and ability to grow in marginal lands make it an attractive option for bioenergy production.Sorghum is renowned for its drought tolerance, making it a valuable crop in regions prone to water scarcity. Its deep root system allows it to access water deep in the soil, and it can continue growing even during periods of low rainfall.Sorghum's deep root system also helps prevent soil erosion and improves soil structure, making it valuable in conservation agriculture practices.Sorghum, a widely cultivated cereal grain, can face several pest threats that can significantly impact its yield and quality. Here are some common pests of sorghum:
Aphids: Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that feed on sap from sorghum plants. They can cause stunted growth, yellowing, and distortion of leaves, and in severe infestations, they can reduce yield.
Sorghum Midge (Stenodiplosis sorghicola): Sorghum midge is a small fly that lays eggs in the developing sorghum heads. The larvae feed on the developing grain, causing it to shrivel and reducing yield.
Armyworms: Armyworms are caterpillars that can feed on sorghum leaves, causing defoliation. They can also bore into the stalks and feed on the developing grain heads, leading to yield loss.
Stem Borers: Several species of moth larvae, such as the sorghum stem borer (Busseola fusca), can bore into sorghum stalks, weakening them and causing lodging. Lodging makes harvesting difficult and can reduce yield.
Grasshoppers: Grasshoppers can feed on sorghum leaves, causing defoliation and reducing photosynthetic capacity. Severe infestations can lead to significant yield loss.
Sorghum Shoot Fly (Atherigona soccata): The larvae of the sorghum shoot fly feed on the growing points of sorghum plants, leading to dead hearts (failure of the central shoot to emerge) and stunted growth.
Sorghum Head Caterpillar (Helicoverpa armigera): The larvae of this moth species feed on sorghum heads, causing damage to developing grains and reducing yield.
Sorghum Webworm (Nausinoe geometralis): The larvae of the sorghum webworm feed on sorghum leaves, creating characteristic webbing and skeletonizing the leaves. Severe infestations can reduce photosynthesis and yield.
Sorghum Bug (Stenocoris spp.): Sorghum bugs are sap-sucking insects that feed on sorghum plants, causing wilting, yellowing, and reduced yield.
Leafhoppers: Leafhoppers are small insects that feed on sorghum sap, causing yellowing, wilting, and reduced plant vigor. They can also transmit plant diseases, further impacting sorghum health and yield.

Pests of Maize_Dr.UPR_Identification, Binomics, Integrated Pest Management
Maize borers and shoot fly are common pests that affect the crop during its three growing seasons. Chilo partellus is a common pest of kharif maize. Sesamia inferens is more common in the rabi crop, but it also appears in spring maize. Atherigona spp. are a common pest in spring maize in northern India. Furthermore, there are nearly a dozen additional pests that appear intermittently and inflict significant crop losses at times. The losses caused by insect pests in maize crops range between 5% and 15%. Maize's massive production of pollen grains attracts a significant number of natural enemies as well. Furthermore, the plant design provides a good niche for them to hide during hard conditions, organically shielding the crop from insect damage. Understanding pest bioecology allows for much more effective and cost-effective pest management in the maize ecosystem.
