Abstract/Description: | Fusariums cause wilt and pokkah boeng (PB) diseases in sugarcane. Fusarium sacchari infects sugarcane stalks and causes wilt. The disease severely affects cane production and productivity and many commercial varieties were withdrawn from cultivation due to their severity to the disease. In India, east coast regions, South Gujarat and subtropical plains were identified as the disease endemic regions. The disease occurred either alone or in association with red rot in different states. F. sacchari was identified as the causal organism based on morphological features and molecular profiling of the isolates. ISSR and IGS-RFLP were found to be the efficient molecular markers to establish variation in F. sacchari and also to distinguish this species with other Fusarium spp. Gibberella sacchari was established as teleomorph of F. sacchari. PB, a foliar disease in sugarcane in which young leaves and spindle are affected. Although F. verticilloides is associated with PB other species such as F. sacchari, F. proliferatum, F. andiyazi, F. subglutinans, F. semitectum etc were also reported as the causal agent of the disease in different countries. In the recent years, epidemic occurrences of PB were noticed in both the tropical and subtropical region. Earlier, the disease was considered as a minor disease and its current severe scenario suggest possible climate change issues and this needs detailed investigation. The chapter reviews scenario of wilt and PB in the country, impact of the diseases in sugarcane, associated pathogens, pathogen variation, screening methods and their management. |
