Yellow Canopy Syndrome Update, September 2014 • SRA and local mills have flagged affected blocks that are
showing minor, moderate and severe YCS symptoms. As this
cane is crushed, data about its yield and CCS is being collected
to identify the impact YCS has on these factors. The initial
results of the mill data will be provided in the December
edition of this Industry update. • Additional SRA staff have joined the research program to
expand the monitoring efforts of YCS in all cane-growing
regions, including where YCS has not yet been identified.
This detailed information will help to build our understanding
of the condition’s behaviour.
