Red rot caused by Colletotrichum falcatum Went is a serious stalk disease affecting production and productivity in sugarcane. Soil borne inoculum of C. falcatum serves as the major source of primary inoculum in disease epidemics and critically plays a key role in disease life-cycle. However, information on infectivity of the soil borne fungal inoculum on sugarcane varieties varying in disease resistance, sett germination and disease development is lacking. We have taken up detailed studies on the impact of this inoculum multiplied on sorghum grains on infection of planted setts on a set of 10 sugarcane varieties varying in disease resistance and disease build up in the field with 11 different pathogenic isolates varying in their virulence. This study has come out with a new information on vulnerability of sprouting buds to C. falcatum and probably this primary infection may lead to C. falcatum adaptation in new host varieties. Also we found a differential behavior of soil borne inoculum of C. falcatum against sugarcane varieties for the first time
