Molecular Assessment of Diversity among Pathotypes of Colletotrichum falcatum Prevalent in Sub-Tropical Indian Sugarcane
- A. SumanS. LalA. ShasanyA. GaurPushpa Singh
- 1 October 2005
Environmental Science, Biology
Six pathotypes of Colletotrichum falcatum, responsible for Red-rot in sugarcane, prevalent in subtropical India, were examined for genetic relationships using RAPD markers and UPGMA cluster analysis of genetic similarity indices grouped the six pathotypes into two clusters.

Three distinct soil management zones showing significant variation in soil properties were identified and delineated for wider scale management of soils to enable refined agricultural and environmental management practices in the region.
Exogenous Application of Ethrel and Gibberellic Acid Stimulates Physiological Growth of Late Planted Sugarcane with Short Growth Period in Sub-tropical India
- R. RaiN. TripathiDeeksha GautamPushpa Singh
- 21 February 2017
Agricultural and Food Sciences
The study demonstrates that the induction of higher shoot numbers together with increased leaf area index (LAI) and stalk elongation within a short growth period through Ethrel soaking and gibberellic acid applications is positively associated with enhanced dry matter and sucrose contents.
Physico-Chemical Method of Preserving Sucrose in Harvested Sugarcane at High Ambient Temperature in a Sub-Tropical Climate
