      abstract = {Twenty-one new and three commercial sugar-cane varieties  were screened for posssible resistance to the sugar-cane  moth borer Diatraea saccharalis at four different sites.  Varietal resistance was evaluated using percentage dead  hearts in young canes and percentage joint infestation in  mi liable canes. Variety rankings according to both indices  of infestation were site specific and in the case of dead  heart rankings, time specific. These results are discussed  in the context of the impact of environmental factors on  varietal resistance and the need for an integrated pest  management (IPM) approach to the management of the pest in  Barbados.},
