Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute (BSRI) farm, at Ishurdi,Pabna, Bangladesh for two seasons during 2000-2002. Among two different Saccharum species viz; Saccharum officinarum (varieties/ lines Isd 16, Isd 20, Isd 24, Isd 28, BC₄and Saccharum spontaneum (line S 20) were screened against red rot (Colleotrichum falcatum) disease resistance by artificial inoculation following standard plug method. The varieties /lines were graded as various levels of susceptibility and resistance using a standard disease index. Among the varieties/ lines tested Isd 20 and BC₄have shown completely resistant, variety Isd 24, S20 have shown moderately, Isd 16 susceptible and Isd 28 highly susceptible. These varieties/ lines (Isd 20 and BC₄) may be utilized as one of the sources of resistance on the breeding program of sugarcane to red rot disease.

Keywords: Sugarcane, Red rot, Saccharum officinarum, Saccharum spontaneum, Disease resistance

Location: Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute (BSRI) farm, BSRI, Ishurdi, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2000

End Date: 00-00-2002

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Diseases, Sugarcane

Objectives:

To find out the sugarcane varieties resistant to red rot diseases

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute (BSRI) farm, at BSRI, Ishurdi, Bangladesh during 2000-2002 for two seasons. Among six varieties/ lines viz Isd 16, Isd 20, Isd 24, Isd 28, BC₄ and S 20 were tested against red rot by the standard plug method. Twenty stalks of eight months old cane of each variety were inoculated with a suspension containing a single cultures of C. falcatum isolates collected from naturally infected sugarcane varieties at BSRI. Two months after inoculation, canes were split open longitudinally and lesion width, occurrence and number of white patches, number of nodes transgressed and conditions of tops were scored. The red rot reaction was measured based on 0-9 scale.

Achievement/Findings:

It was confirmed from the study that different varieties with various levels of resistance of red rot are available in the species of sugarcane varieties/lines. the Isd 20, BC₄ and S 20 might be much more effective than others .
