THOMSON, HAN LIOE HONG, INTRODUCTION An up-to-date listing of sugar cane diseases and their world distribution is extremely valuable to those interested in the importation and interchange of varieties, disease control, and collecting expeditions, and also to universities and other scientific institutions where plant pathology is studied. The listing in this Chapter has been cotnpiled from the literature and from recent surveys by sugar cane pathologists in many countries. However, information from some areas is incomplete due to lack of contacts with qualified personnel. The listing is divided into the following sections : Part I. The Diseases of Sugar Cane, Their Causal Agents and Distribution. Part 11. The Cane Sugar Producing Countries and Their Diseases. Part 111. Causal Agents of Sugar Cane Diseases. * As revised October, '
