Evaluation of Cane Genotypes Under Sprinkler Irrigation at Early Selection Stage for Tolerance to Sugarcane Streak Mosaic Virus (SCSMV) at Ferké Sugar Estates in Ivory Coast

Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) became the major endemic disease of economic importance in Ivorian sugar estates almost two years ago, which spreads very fast across plantations and varieties. The study aimed to determine resistant sugarcane genotypes against SCSMV in Ferké sugar estates. It involved five experiments conducted at first selection stage under sprinkler irrigation, following a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 20 to 30 different genotypes, two check varieties included, all in 4 replicates. Experiments were planted in October or December 2018, and expected to be harvested in November/December 2019 and 2020 as plant cane and first ratoon, respectively. Disease incidence and severity across all experiments were determined at 3 to 4 months, i.e. at early formative growth stage where symptoms due to SCSMV could be easily observed and recognized in the field. In each of the five selection trials conducted on both Ferké 1 & 2 sugar estates, highly significant differences in disease incidence and severity were observed between genotypes as well as crop cycles (plant cane and first ratoon). Except for one trial (B3-24 in Ferké 1), Genotype x crop cycle interactions were significant or highly significant, which showed that the majority of genotypes tested behaved differently from plant cane to first ratoon towards the disease. Particularly, the percentage of resistant genotypes decreased from 50 to 3.4% whereas that of highly susceptible ones increased from 4.2 to 92.4%. This shows the level of challenge to be tackled in the control of SCSM disease through sugarcane breeding and selection. At the end of the current selection stage under way, i.e. after harvest of first ratoon, only the best yielding genotypes among the resistant ones will undergo the advanced selection stage.

PENGARUH SUGARCANE STREAK MOSAIC VIRUS TERHADAP ANATOMI DAN KADAR KLOROFIL DAUN BEBERAPA AKSESI TEBU (Sacharrum officinarum)

As one of the most important crops in Indonesia, sugarcane productivity is currently still hampered by Sugarcane Streak Mosaic Virus (SCSMV), with the intensity of leaf damage reach 60% . The symptoms of this disease are the occurrence of irregular pattern between light green to pale in sugarcane leaves. The information about SCSMV in plant anatomy and physiology was still lacking. Therefore the objective of this studies was to determine the effect of SCSMV infection to morphological, anatomical and physiological characters of sugarcane leaves. The research was performed on 30 sugarcane clones by using a randomized block design with three replications. The results showed that there was change in the morphology of leaves, but leaf color did change. The decrease in the ratio of chlorophyll a / b leaves 65% higher in the resistant clones, i.e. clones PS 06 103 and PS 06 199. The number of stomata also decreased in clones by SCSMV.
