Investigation were carried out on the relationship between rot borer and wilt disease of sugarcane at the Regional Centre of Sugarcane Breeding Institute, Karnal. Results indicated that root borer and wilt association existed in varieties which were prone to wilt and root borer infection. There was no significant reduction in cane weight and juice quality in later stages of the crop growth due to root borer attact alone. However, the wilt and root borer-wilt complex infection together affected the cane yield and quality significantly.
