Abstract (AB)Ratoon stunting disease is one of the most important diseases of sugarcane. Owing to poor symptom expression and the fastidious nature of the bacterium, detection is a problem resulting in a high risk for dissemination through exchange of germplasm. Several serological techniques have been adopted for diagnosis and recently molecular methods have been investigated. The improved techniques should allow more efficient detection of latent infection and thereby ensure the movement of clean material.
