Striate mosaic: a new disease of sugar cane


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT THE term ‘striate mosaic’ is proposed for a new disease of sugar cane found in the varieties Pindar and _Q_.57 in the Lower Burdekin district in north Queensland. The most obvious


features are the short, fine striations which can just be separated by the naked eye. They are a lighter colour than the normal leaf blade and show first on the youngest exposed leaf and


reach their best development as the leaf expands, but are difficult or impossible to find on mature and older leaves. They occur less in the region of the large vascular bundles than in the


tissue between and so in the aggregate often give a marked striping effect on the younger leaves, or even a yellowing to the entire top. Severe stunting is usually associated with the


striations but striations without obvious stunting have been found in Pindar. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your
