Sugarcane Research in Madras

Abstract

                                The opening of an agricultural research station at Samalkot in 1902, marked an era which led to the opening of the Indian Sugarcane Breeding Institute under the inspiring leadership of Dr. Barber. The crisis which the crop faced from sereh disease in Java and red rot in India stimulated new lines of research. After half a century of progress, the industry in Madras is now facing a second crisis, but it is hoped that history will repeat itself and sugarcane will record further progress.
