Vitropathogen control in EEAOC’s sugarcane micropropagation scheme

Last Updated: junio 11, 2025

A significant problem in in vitro culture is endogenous contamination (viruses, viroids, bacteria, fungi or yeasts inside cells, in intercellular spaces or vascular bundles) since they cannot be eliminated by chemical disinfection before micropropagation.

Yield indicators affected by ratoon stunting disease in sugarcane varieties planted in northern Argentina

Last Updated: junio 11, 2025

This field study assessed the impact of sugarcane ratoon stunting disease (RSD) infection on yield indicators of commercial varieties in Jujuy and Salta. Yield indicators were measured in randomly selected stems sampled from paired plots from a field trial previously planted with clean and RSD-infected seed cane of different disease intensities
