- Ms. Mary Joy C. Mendoza's recommendations for managing sugarcane diseases caused by fungi provide a comprehensive approach specific to each specific disease:
For Sugarcane Pokkah Boeng caused by Fusarium spp
1. Use of Healthy Planting Materials: Starting with disease-free materials prevents pathogen introduction.
2. Use of Resistant Sugarcane Varieties: Planting resistant types reduces susceptibility to Pokkah Boeng.
3. Biocon Trichoderma: Applying beneficial microorganisms helps suppress Fusarium spp.
4. Application of Copper Oxychloride): Fungicide treatment controls fungal growth and spread.
For Sugarcane Red Rot caused by Colletotrichum falcatum and Fusarium sacchari
1. Use of Healthy Planting Materials: Disease-free starting materials prevent Red Rot spread.
2. Use of Resistant Sugarcane Varieties: Plant-resistant types to minimize disease incidence.
3. Hot Water Treatment: Treating materials with hot water kills pathogens.
4. Use of Biocon Pseudomonas flourescens: Beneficial microorganisms suppress disease-causing fungi.
5. Application of Azoxystrobin, Difenoconazole: Fungicide treatment controls Red Rot.
For Sugarcane Rust caused by Puccinia sp.
1. Use of Healthy Planting Materials: Disease-free starting materials prevent Rust spread.
2. Use of Resistant Sugarcane Varieties: Plant resistant types to minimize Rust incidence.
3. Sanitation: Keep fields clean to prevent Rust development.
4. Adequate Water Supply During Growth Period: Proper irrigation reduces stress and susceptibility to Rust.
5. Application of Fungicide (Pyrasclostrobin, Epoxiconazole, Azoxystrobin, Difenconazole): Fungicide treatment controls Rust.
For Sugarcane Smut caused by Sporisorium scitamineum
1. Use of Resistant Varieties: Plant resistant types to reduce Smut incidence.
2. Roguing of Heavily Diseased Crops: Remove heavily infected plants to prevent Smut spread.
3. Planting Disease-Free Cane Setts: Use clean planting materials to prevent Smut introduction.
4. Hot Water Treatment of Planting Material and Fungicide Dip: Treat materials to kill Smut spores.
For Sugarcane Downy Mildew caused by Perenosclerospora sacchari
1. Use of Resistant Varieties: Plant resistant types to reduce Downy Mildew incidence.
2. Roguing, Sanitation: Remove infected plants and maintain field cleanliness.
3. Diseased-Free Setts: Use clean planting materials to prevent Downy Mildew introduction.
4. Fungicide Application: Apply fungicides to control Downy Mildew.
By integrating these methods, growers can effectively manage sugarcane diseases caused by fungi, ensuring healthier crops and sustainable production.
