In 2017 and 2018, each field was sampled four times during the summer for D. saccharalis by inspecting 100 sugarcane stalks and for foraging ants using plastic tubes baited with hot dog at 12 locations. One non-parasitized D. saccharalis larva was collected in 2017 and in 2018 out of 12,100 and 12,600 stalks sampled, respectively. Additional sampling of 50 stalks per field in October showed that 0.6% (2017) and 0.1% (2018) of the sugarcane stalks had bored internodes, and one Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) cocoon mass was observed. Seven ant species foraged in sugarcane fields, including the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, which was the most abundant ant. Solenopsis invicta was not affected by soil type; however, sugarcane fields on shallow organic soils might represent a more suitable environment. The third most abundant foraging ant, Nylanderia bourbonica (Forel), was more abundant in mineral soil fields than in shallow and deep organic soil fields. Results suggest that D. saccharalis population levels in Florida sugarcane are extremely low under current production conditions regardless of soil type. In addition, the observation of C. flavipes, S. invicta, and six other ant species suggest that biological control contributes to these low D. saccharalis population levels.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ee\/nvaa015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,9]],"date-time":"2020-02-09T04:22:25Z","timestamp":1581222145000},"page":"473-481","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Abundance of the Sugarcane Borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) and Foraging Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Sugarcane Grown on Organic and Mineral Soils in Florida"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Erik L","family":"Rold\u00e1n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Everglades Research and Education Center, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Belle Glade, FL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julien M","family":"Beuzelin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew T","family":"VanWeelden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Everglades Research and Education Center, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Belle Glade, FL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ronald H","family":"Cherry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Everglades Research and Education Center, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Belle Glade, FL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021030715590000700_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1093\/ee\/10.3.415","article-title":"Interrelationship of ants and the sugarcane borer in Florida sugarcane fields","volume":"10","author":"Adams","year":"1981","journal-title":"Environ.
