ECONOMIC STUDY ON SUGAR CANE INJUREDBY RODENTS IN UPPER EGYPT
Two field experiments were conducted during 1998/99 and 1999/2000 seasons in the Experimental Station of Mattana (Qena Governorate). In the studied crop cycle of sugarcane (the plant cane, t", 2nd and 3'd ratoon crops), damage caused by rodents to the top of cane stalks was comparatively higher than that of base Pi1rt of stalks. Top damage was higher in plant cane crop and the 1st ratoon than that in the 2nd and 3'd ones. Damaged stalks showed lower density, purity, brix (total soluble solids) values and sucrose content than non-damaged stalks. The average loss in cane yield for the four sugarcane crops (plant cane, 1St. 2nd and 3'd ratoon) was LE. 915.04, while the loss in sugar production averaged LE. 1353.5 for the same crops.
