Monitoring the incidence and distribution of sugarcane smut in Colombian sugarcane fields
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Breeding for resistance to sugarcane smut, caused by Sporisorium scitamineum, has been a priority for the Varieties program at CENICAÑA. Smut had an economic impact in the susceptible variety CP 57-603 in the late 1980s, but for a long time there were no concerns about smut in the Colombian sugarcane industry in the Cauca River Valley (CRV).
Most feasible diagnostic technique for the detection of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli infecting sugarcane in Cuba
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane caused by Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx) is a common destructive disease that occurs around the world. This disease is difficult to manage due to its elusive visible symptomology and disease rating of cultivars is subjective
Sugarcane disease risk assessment in two regions of Cuba
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Climate change is expected to have an increasing influence on the diseases and insect pests that impact agriculture. The objective of this study was to identify the vulnerability of the sugarcane production systems in Mayabeque and Santiago de Cuba areas of Cuba, using indicators to assess the risk of disease outbreaks
Sugarcane mild mosaic virus in commercial varieties and advanced lines in Florida
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Several viral diseases affect sugarcane production worldwide. In 2022, a severely stunted principal commercial variety, CP 06-2400, growing in the crossing line at the USDA-ARS Sugarcane Field Station in Canal Point, Florida, was tested using high-throughput sequencing and found to be infected with Sugarcane mild mosaic virus (SCMMV).
Vitropathogen control in EEAOC’s sugarcane micropropagation scheme
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025A 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, 2025This 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
