Abstract: Field experiments were carried out at Edfo district, Aswan governorate throughout the two successive sugarcane seasons ( 2004 / 05 and 2005 / 06 ) to study the effect of two levels of potassium fertilizer (0 and 50 kg/fed.) and two sugarcane varieties as well as their interactions on the infestation level by C. agamemnon and P. tenuivalvata and on yield.
The results clearly showed that, using the GT 9/54 variety and 50 kg potassium applied with the second dose of recommended nitrogen decreased the infestation by C. agamemnon and resulted in the increasing of sugarcane
yield (70.73 ton/fed.) . While using the PH 8013 variety and 50 kg potassium ,by the same way, decreased the population density of P. tenuivalvata and also increased the yield (69.83 ton/fed.).
