Resumo

Seven sugarcane varieties were tested for feeding choice by termites Comitermes cumulans and C. snyderi. Eight colonies of each species were kept in 20 .l plastic containers under laboratoty environrnent. The containers were connected by a hose to a multiple choice area, where stem pieces of each variety were olfered. Toe experiment was carried out in two stages. At first, cultivars RB72-454, SP71-799, SP71-6163, RB76-5418, SP71-1406 and SP79-1011 were olfered. ln a second stage, cultivars RB72-454, SP71-799, SP71-6163, RB76-5418, SP71-1406 and NA56-79 were used. Toe percentage of attack on stem pieces was evaluated using a grade scale from O to 5. Ali cultivars were attacked, however, cultivar RB72-454 was the least preferred by the two termite species.
