Whip smut causing pathogen in Sugarcane has the potential to cause substantial losses
to farmers. Sugarcane cultivars which are susceptible, should be replaced with resistant ones
that have desirable yield attributes. Twenty four Sugarcane genotypes were selected for artificial
inoculation to identify resistant genotype to smut disease. Setts dipped in smut spore suspension
before planting and collected data on production of smutted whips in genotypes. Among the
genotypes tested, 2016 V130 was found resistant, while 2016 V 35, 2017 V 16, 2018 V 42, 2018 V
48, 2018 V 53 and 2018 V 79 were found moderately resistant to smut pathogen.
