[Syrupmakers] cane virus

[Richard Harrison]

J T.
  I had the end of a row(about 40' or so) that was near the middle of a patch one year that developed the sprouting badly. I remembered that some of the cane that I had planted there had sprouts when planted. I plowed up that part of the row to get rid of it.
                                                                 Richard

That sounds more like it. I had some very strong straight line winds (strongest I've ever seen) a week or two before I noticed the sprouts.

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.

                                                                           Richard

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
