Distribution, Morphological Characterization and Pathogenicity of Fusarium sacchari Associated with Pokkah Boeng Disease of Sugarcane in Peninsular Malaysia.

Pokkah boeng disease on sugarcane has been recorded in almost all countries where sugarcane is grown commercially. The objectives of this study were to survey the distribution of Fusarium sacchari associated with pokkah boeng disease throughout Peninsular Malaysia, to isolate and identify the causal organisms by using morphological characteristics, and to ascertain the pathogenicity of F. sacchari based on Koch's postulates
