POKKAH BOENG IS A JAVANESE term denoting a malformed or distorted top. A knife-cut symptom is also associated with pokkah boeng. During 1993–2001, samples were collected from infected stalks showing ladder-like lesions near the growing point. All samples were thoroughly washed in tap water and disinfected with 70% ethanol. After rinsing with distilled water, small pieces of infected tissues were plated on modified Nash & Snyder and potato dextrose agar (PDA) media and incubated at 25 °C for 10 to 14 days. PDA, carnation leaf agar (CLA), sucrose nutrient agar (SNA) and KCl agar media were used for identification of isolates. They categorised four Fusarium species identified as Fusarium verticillioides (F. moniliforme). F. proliferatum. F. subglutinans and F. semitectum with 55%, 21.5%, 17.6% and 5.9% frequency, respectively. Pathogenicity studies with these fungi indicated that all isolates were pathogenic to sugarcane except isolates of F. semitectum. Among pathogenic isolates, F. proliferatum was less pathogenic than F. verticillioides and F. subglutinans. This is the first report of the pathogenicity of F. proliferatum on sugarcane in the world.
