Sugarcane smut is a fungal disease of sugarcane caused by the fungus Sporisorium scitamineum. The most recognizable characteristic of this disease is a black or gray growth that is referred to as a “smut whip”. Resistance to sugarcane smut is the best course of action for management, but also the use of disease free seed is important. On smaller scale operations treatments using hot water and removing infected plants can be effective. The main mode of spore dispersal is the wind but the disease also spreads through the use of infected cuttings. Sugarcane smut is a devastating disease in sugarcane growing areas globally.
