Glimpses of Sugarcane Varietal Screening and Improvement at Pusa, Bihar

Available Methods for Assessing Varietal Resistance to Sugarcane Stalk Borers

Sugarcane is semiperennial and produces considerable biomass, forming an ideal habitat for insects. Most insects do not affect crops, but some compete with humans for sugar and by-products. Sugarcane stalkborers are key pests of this crop worldwide because they feed directly on the vegetative tissues that store sucrose, allowing the introduction of micro-organisms that affect yield and quality....

The Use of Tissue Blots to Screen for Varietal Resistance to Ratoon Stunting Disease of Sugarcane

No trials are currently conducted at SASEX to screen genotypes for resistance to ratoon stunting disease (RSD), a disease that is well established in most sugarcane growing regions of the world and considered to cause more yield losses worldwide than any other sugarcane disease. In South Africa, field trials have demonstrated that yield reductions under rainfed conditions can be as high as 40% ...
