Some Hosts of Causal Organisms of the Sugarcane Red Rot and Wilt Diseases

Abstract

Wilt pathogen Fusarium subglutinans and red rot pathogen Colletotrichum falcatum were inoculated on maize, sorghum, rice, soybean, mungbean, groundnut, Brachiaria distachya, Rhynohelytrum repens, Pennisetum polystachyon, P. pedicellatum, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Sorghum halepense, Erianthus procerum, E. arundinaceum and Saccharum spontaneum, The result showed that maize, sorghum, rice, mungbean, S. halepense, E. arundinaceum and S. spontaneum are the host of F. subjlutinans, while sorghum, S. halepense, E. aundinaceum and S. spontaneum are the host of C. falcatum.
