Pyrilla is a

  1. A character of ancient Greek mythology

  2. An insect pest

  3. Disease of teeth and gums

  4. A building heated by solar energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Pyrilla is the most destructive foliage-sucking pest of sugarcane. Heavy rainfall followed by 75-80% humidity, intermittent drought periods, high temperature (26-300c) and wind movement favours rapid build-up of the pest. Cane yield loss is about 28% while 1.6% unit loss in sugar content. Due to continuous desapping by large number of hoppers, top leaves in the affected canes dry up and lateral buds germinate. The hoppers exude a sweet sticky fluid known as honeydew, which promotes quick and luxuriant growth of the fungus, capanodium species and as a result the leaves are completely covered by the sooty mould.
So the correct option is 'an insect pest'.
