The sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) is cultivated in the tropics and sub-tropics, it is used for internal consumption without making it competitive; a condition that currently, together with globalization, forces us to be more and more efficient and effective in the use of our resources. The striped weevil (Metamasius hemipterus) is one of the main pests that attacks sugar cane crops, having characteristics of dark yellowish coloration and black spots visible on the body of the insect. This pest produces rot and fermentation that deteriorates the quality of the juice, invading the healthy part, making galleries along the internode. One of the main symptoms of this disease is yellowing of the plant, appearance of dead shoots on the vine, etc. The control methods of this disease are cultural control, chemical control, cheating and biological.
