| A new mechanically transmissible, latent virus designated as sugarcane bacilliform (SCBV) and sugarcane mosaic virus strain D (SCMV-D) have been identified. Research on their epidemiology, host range, vector relationship and varietal reaction have been initiated. Immunidiffusion tests, ELISA and immuno electron microscopy have been applied for their diagnosis. Measures have been successfully adopted for the control of SCMV-D, which is no longer found in the field, whilst the exact distribution of SCBV and its economic importance have to be established. The three fungal diseases recorded (pokkah boeng, red rot and brown spot) are minor. A negligible level of what is probably red stripe disease has been observed. Among the five non-parasitic diseases identified, leaf fleck, interveinal chlorosis, bunch top and variegation are minor while frost can cause considerable damage. An elaborate quarantine system has been established outside cane growing areas and a four stage nursery system provides for the supply of disease-free material. Field tests for evaluating varietal reaction to smut and SCMV-D have been successfully carried out in Senegal and Spain respectively. | |
