Information sheet : Sclerotial sett rot disease
Metadata
Show full item recordAbstract
Sclerotial sett rot (SSR) was
first identified in 2016 at the
SRA Woodford Pathology Farm
on sugarcane setts sent for
disease resistance screening
trials. Up until now, it has
not been reported anywhere
else in the world. SSR affects
sett germination and kills
young plants (Bhuiyan et al.
2019). It is unclear whether
SSR is present in commercial
sugarcane farming systems
in Australia.
