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, 1962. '
816 PATHOLOGY The commercial cane-sugar producing countries of the world, as well as other countries where diseases have been recorded on sugar cane, with the page reference to each in Part. 11, are: Afghanistan - 830 Andaman Islands - 831 Guam - 832 Paraguay - 830-830 Angola - 828 Haiti - 834-833 Antigua - 833-833 Portugal - 831 Argentina - 830-829 - 834-832 - 831 South - 833 * - 831 Africa - 828 Bonin Islands - 832 Italy - 831 RBunion - 832 Bolivia - 830 Borneo - 831 Ivory Coast - 828 Samoa - 833-830 - 834 Senegal - 829-830 Japan - 831 Sierra Leone - 829-829 - 831 Solomon Islands - 833 Burma - 830 Somaliland - 829 Kenya - 828 Southern Rhodesia - 829 Cameroons - 828-831 St. Croix - 834 Ceylon - 830 Madeira - 831,St. Kitts and Nevis - 834 China - 830 Malay States - 831 St. Lucia - 834-830 Martinique - 834 St. Thomas - 834 Congo - 828-832 St. Vincent - 834 Costa Rica - 829-829 - 833 Mozambique - 828 (Formosa)- 832 Dominica - 834 New Britain - 833 Tahiti - 833 Tanganyika - 829-834 New Caledonia - 833 Thailand (Siam) -831 Dutch New Guinea - 833 and Tobago - 834 (Surinam)- 830-829 Turlrey - 831 Nigeria - 828 Turlrestan - 831 Egypt - 828 Northern Rhodesia - 828 El Salvador - 829 Nyasaland - 828-829 Ethiopia - 828-829-30-832 Olrinawa (Ruykyu)- 833 Florida Louisiana Grenada - 834 Palristan - 831 Guadeloupe - 834 Panama - 829 Venezuela - 830 * Now divided into: Cambodia, Laos, North Viet Nam and South Viet Nam.
