The sugar plantations of Group Farias use exclusively the Biological Control to fight the main pests of the culture. Sugar Cane Borer: the Diatraea saccharalis mainly occurs in the Center-South region while the D. flavipennella is mostly distributed in the Northeast. When the soil insects attack the young sugar canes, they cause the death of the apical meristem (dead heart). However, their more common damage is in the adult sugar cane. In these occurs the loss of weight, lateral blossom, aerial rooting, inversion of saccharose and contamination of the alcoholic fermentation process. The Biological Control happens through the natural enemies: Apanteles flavipes, Paratheresia claripalpis and Metagonistylum minense.

Sugar Cane Root Spittlebug: two species are found in Brazil: the Mahanarva posticata and the M. fimbriolata. The adults suck the sap and inject toxins that cause yellowing of the leaf, harming the photosynthesis and bringing as consequence the shortening of the internodes and loss of weight and sugar. The Biological Control is made using the pathogenous fungus Metarhizum anisopliae.
