    1979 Bailey Possibilities For The Control
    (SASTA, 1979)
    Investigating the control of sugarcane smut with fungicides, this study presents field trial results on controlling smut through treatments. It highlights successful control of smut in plant cane crops using specific fungicides and suggests a triadimefon/hot water treatment for effective smut management.

    1989 Bailey A Comparison Of Seedcane
    (SASTA, 1989)
    This paper compares crops grown from seedcane derived from tissue culture with conventional seedcane for varieties of NC0310, NC0376, and N.I2. Field trials showed that using tissue culture-derived seedcane did not offer advantages in productivity compared to conventional methods. Additionally, the first ratoon crop from tissue culture-derived seedcane showed higher levels of smut. The study highlights the yield potential of these varieties post-release and the lack of productivity benefits from tissue culture production.

    1995 Bailey Coping With Disease Problems
    (SASTA, 1995)
    Exploring disease challenges in South African sugarcane crops, this paper provides insights into coping mechanisms and changing approaches to disease management. The discussion covers the vulnerabilities of sugarcane to systemic diseases and the impact of crop propagation methods on disease spread. The study underscores the importance of integrated pest management strategies in combating sugarcane diseases.
