It is RSD testing time again and the American Sugar Cane League is funding the testing of our sugarcane, free of charge. Ratoon Stunting Disease can cause highly significant losses in the recovery of sugar per acre, depending upon the variety grown. Please fill out the attached "Sugarcane Disease Detection Lab" form and send it with your sample(s) through your county agent or sugarcane consultant. |

A fourth year of testing for ratoon stunting disease (RSD) was conducted during 2000 as part of the Sugarcane Disease Detection Lab operations. The reduction of RSD represents a major positive development for the Louisiana sugarcane industry. |
