When combining parasitoids and insecticides, the authors recommend a less toxic biorational such as tebufenozide.

Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Baythroid reduced the percentage of bored sugarcane internodes relative to other treatments in the 1996 field season.
- Intervention effect FCR 4545 caused less sugarcane borer damage than other treatments in 1997.
- Mechanism Differences in borer control may partly reflect tractor versus aerial application methods.
- Intervention effect Neither field season showed significant treatment effects on sugarcane yield or juice quality measurements.
- Recommendation The authors suggest improved application technology or combining biorational insecticides with other control agents.
- Recommendation Timing applications to susceptibility windows based on plant phenology or pest lifecycle may improve efficacy.
- Intervention effect Baythroid was generally most effective at reducing E. loftini damage.
- Intervention effect FCR 4545 was generally most effective at reducing E. loftini damage.
- Intervention effect Baythroid had higher residual toxicity than FCR 4545 against E. loftini.
- Intervention effect Baythroid had higher residual toxicity than FCR 4545 against A. pyralophagus.
- Intervention effect Baythroid was more toxic to E. loftini than to A. pyralophagus in comparable bioassays.
- Intervention effect Tebufenozide was more toxic to E. loftini than to A. pyralophagus in comparable bioassays.
- Recommendation The authors recommend timing parasitoid release after residual toxicity of a biorational such as FCR 4545 declines.
