[Syrupmakers] cane virus

[Ken Reit]

Thanks Bill,

 My cane has been very well irrigated with a row or two of soaker hose and
this may be a reason why I am seeing it. A few times I forgot to turn it off
for a day or so. This may qualify for "extreme wet conditions"??!

I have had this occur in my patch of cane in the past and it will more than
likely happen again.  It has usually happened after a rain or extreme wet
conditions.

 

I grind it with the rest of the cane and it has never had any effect on my
syrup.

I called the Houma USDA on this subject earlier today.  I couldn't reach my
normal contact, but the person I spoke to said he'd only seen above ground
sprouting when the stalk had been stressed, typically by 'getting a whiff'
of Round-up or from strong winds knocking it over.basically, anything that
stunts the normal growth of the stalk can cause this to occur.  He wasn't
aware of any viruses as a root cause, however.

 

If anyone has any detailed information on possible virus causes, please let
me know and I'll track it down.

Ken,

    I posted what little I knew for J T a few days ago. I would ask one on
the LA sugarcane experts what they think. Ask Tracy Baudoin who to contact
at LSU or Houma to ask.

J.T.,

 I would like to know that answer also along with my  questions.  Richard,
you posted here today. Do you have any input? I did do a google search but
it turned up other things for virus issues.

Thanks,

Ken R

Hey I'm the one that posted that a week or so ago. It sound like the same
thing that I have.

 

I have another question though. Can I remove the sprout and then squeeze the
cane this fall?

 

J.T.

Hello,

 I think I noticed an earlier post about sugar cane eyes sprouting above
ground off the stalk and this being a virus. I noticed today that some of my
stalks have eyes sprouting out about midstalk. Is this what was mentioned
and is this not edible cane? What harm does this do if it is a virus? Does
this stalk need to be destroyed or roots and all adjacent stalks too?

 

Thanks for anymore input on this issue.

Ken R
