Evaluation and heritability of resistance to sugarcane red rot
1996-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Heritability of resistance to red rot, caused by Colletotrichum falcatum, was studied with progeny from 40 crosses among 24 parental clones of sugarcane. Resistance was assessed by comparing disease development in detached, inoculated stalks. Disease severity was assessed as the number of nodes beyond which fungal infection symptoms were observed, the number of nodes rotted, the extent of internode rotting, and a...
