Caterpillars bore into the midrib of the leaf, leaving red markings and small holes on the leaves. Then it bores further to the upper portion of stem, causing "dead heart" symptoms as the top of the shoot dies off. Gradually, side branches start growing from a lower node, giving a characteristic "bunchy top" appearance to the plant.

Sugarcane stem borer caterpillars kill the plant growing points and cause “dead hearts” (the youngest still unfolded leaves wilt and die), broken sugarcane stalks and reduced sugar contents in infested sugarcane crops. If plant is attacked after can formation, then side sprouting is also seen. The tunnels inside the plant stems allow other pests and diseases into the sugarcane stalks which can also increase crop losses. Infested sugarcane stalks are easily broken by the wind.
