The main sorghum pests are aphids, tobacco cutworms (Spodoptera litura), stem borers, and scarab beetles. Aphids and scarab beetles occur at the seedling stage; tobacco cutworms and stem borers cause damage at the heading stage and dough stage, and can be controlled with pesticides such as chlorpyrifos, BT, and Lvjing. Sorghum is extremely sensitive to organophosphorus pesticides such as trichlorfon, dichlorvos, fenitrothion, dimethoate, triazophos, and phoxim, and these must not be used. Targeted pesticides should be mixed strictly according to the proportions on the label, applied correctly and at the right time, and actively used for control.
