Abstract


A strong positive correlation was observed between incidence of smut and bud sprouting in standing canes. The position of the germpore is subapical in most of the resistant entries and apical in the susceptible genomes. Sprouting of side buds is promoted by the attack of internode borer. Correlations were found between smut incidence, bud size and internode borer incidence.
