• Use tolerant cultivar for borers
• Select healthy insect free setts to avoids scale insects
• Early planting should done to escape  early shoot borer infestation
• Flood irrigation at the time of planting help to stops termite attack.
• Close interval irrigation reduce  incidence of Early Shoot Borer
• Mulching with cane trash at the early stages also has been reported to reduce the incidence  of ESB and help in conserving moisture
• Avoid excessive use of nitrogen to minimize pyrilla, sugarcane wooly aphid and stalk borer infestation. So application of fertilizers should be balance.

• Propping of cane help to reduce borers incidence
• Drain excess water from the field to reduce incidence of plassey bores.
• Keep the fields free from weeds because many weeds are alternate hosts of insect
• Avoid continuous ratoons because continuous monocropping increase incidence of sugarcane pesss
