Hot water (50degC for 2 h) plus fungicide treatment eliminated red rot infection (Colletotrichum falcatum [Glomerella tucumanensis]) in 2-bud sugarcane seed-pieces. The fungicides evaluated were Bavistin [carbendazim], Benlate [benomyl], Aretan [2-methoxyethylmercury chloride], Brestan [fentin], Ceresan [phenylmercury acetate], Duter [fentin hydroxide], Topsin [thiophanate-methyl] and aureofungin. 2-Methoxyethylmercury chloride was the most effective as it eradicated red rot infection and stimulated bud germination and shoot emergence.
