Sugarcane (Saccharum interspecific hybrids) is the main source of sugar in the world. It is grown in more than 90 countries in tropical and subtropical regions. Cultivation techniques and production challenges vary by location (Rott 2017; Rott 2018). This 19-page document discusses characteristics of the sugarcane crop and pests affecting its production in Florida, which is the largest producer of sugarcane in the United States. Written by P. Rott, D. C. Odero, J. M. Beuzelin, R. N. Raid, M. VanWeelden, S. Swanson, and M. Mossler, and published by the UF/IFAS Agronomy Department, revised May 2018. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pi207

This 8-page fact sheet is a minor revision. The insects and mites discussed in this publication are occasional pests of sugarcane in Florida or are arthropods of concern although their pest status has not been determined. They have received less research interest and less is known about them, because they have not been as important as other sugarcane pests such as the corn wireworm (Melanotus communis) or the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis). However, these arthropods have the potential to become a problem if conditions favor an outbreak. Written by Gregg S. Nuessly, Ron H. Cherry, Hardev S. Sandhu, and Julien M.
