Abstract
A SUGAR-CANE disease with internal and external symptoms like ‘leaf-scald’1 (Xanthomonas albilineans) is widespread throughout British Guiana, and is causing serious losses. Varieties B.34104 and D.14/34, which account respectively for 70 and 15 per cent of plantings, are affected both as plants and ratoons. Isolations of the causal organism have been made and successfully re-inoculated.
