Abstract
Leaf binding symptoms accompanied with necrosis of the leaves was recorded on sugarcane cv. CoS 07250, CoS 98259, CoSe 01434 at Sugarcane Research Institute Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India during last week of June to September, 2011–2012. Early death of infected shoots, dwarfing and fascination was also noticed in affected clumps. Incidence of disease varied from variety to variety (8–15 %). The growth of affected plants was checked. Association of a fungus, Fusarium moniliforme was identified (By Dr Atul Singh and further confirmed by ARI Pune) and confirmed based on biological, microscopic and molecular detection with ITS specific primers set (ITS 1 and ITS 4). BLAST analysis of submitted sequence (KM382420) revealed maximum identity of 97–98 % with Fusarium sp. Foliar spray of Carbendazim during the grand growth period (6–8 month old crop) at fortnightly interval (@0.1 % w/v) was found to be most effective in controlling the incidence of the disease followed by Copper oxychloride.
