Bacterial Stripe Diseases of Sugarcane in Louisiana
نویسنده
چکیده
In the spring of 1927 leaf-stripe diseases, with symptoms similar to those of certain tropical bacterial diseases, occurred commonly on sugarcane throughout the entire sugar belt of Louisiana (2)/ As no bacterial diseases of cane had been known to occur in Louisiana, investigations to determine the identity and importance of these troubles were started. As a result of these investigations, three distinct leaf-stripe diseases have been recognized in Louisiana. These are known as (1) the red stripe and top rot, (2) the mottled stripe, and (3) the white stripe. The first two are known to be caused by bacteria. The third one, the white stripe, is of considerable interest, as the stripe symptoms resemble very closely those of the leaf-scald disease of Java (8) and Australia (6). However, the disease seems to have but little economic importance in Louisiana, and as yet no organism has been isolated from the stripes. For these reasons it is not discussed in the present paper.

The sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is the key insect pest of sugarcane, Saccharum spp., grown in Louisiana. For more than 40 years, Louisiana sugarcane farmers have used a value of 10% internodes bored at harvest as the economic injury level (EIL). Three plant-cane studies were conducted to re-evaluate the long-standing sugarcane borer EIL level using the m...

ABSTRACT The extent of spatial and temporal variability of sugarcane rust (Puccinia melanocephala) infestation was related to variation in soil properties in five commercial fields of sugarcane (interspecific hybrids of Saccharum spp., cv. LCP 85-384) in southern Louisiana. Sugarcane fields were grid-soil sampled at several intensities and rust ratings were collected at each point over 6 to 7 w...
