The authors report severe damages to Strelitzia reginae (Banks.) (Musaceae) due to Opogona sacchari (Bojer) (Lepidoptera: Hieroxestidae) and Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Amphipyrinae). Both species live endophitically but the O. sacchari live under crown level, the S. nonagrioides over crow level. The Opogona damages by feeding on roots and propagating root rot, the Sesamia by feeding on flowers and leaves. Control can be enhanced by light traps and cleaning the ground from all plant debris.

Abstract
The authors report severe damages to Strelitzia reginae (Banks.) (Musaceae) due to Opogona sacchari (Bojer) (Lepidoptera: Hieroxestidae) and Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Amphipyrinae). Both species live endophitically but the O. sacchari live under crown level, the S. nonagrioides over crow level. The Opogona damages by feeding on roots and propagating root rot, the Sesamia by feeding on flowers and leaves. Control can be enhanced by light traps and cleaning the ground from all plant debris.File in questo prodotto:
