=Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an important commercial crop, cultivated across the world. Smut disease is one of the major diseases of sugarcane. Severe smut infection affects the sugar recovery as well as yield loss ranging from 10 to70 %. The present study was based on the evaluation of seventy five sugarcane genotypes against smut disease by following seed sett inoculation technique under field condition to screen out the newer sources of resistance as well as susceptible for the development of the smut resistant varieties. |
