Description
A cane ill once shrugged at now rides the warming climate into a top threat. Rajendran Poorniammal, Jerald Jernisha, and Somasundaram Prabhu survey the ill in 2024, called pokkah boeng, a twist-and-rot of the cane's crown. A clan of Fusarium fungi cause it, six kinds named as the chiefs. The catalog adds a fifth author the head byline lacks.
Wind bears the spores; cut seed, water, and rain splash spread them further. Hot, wet spells in fast growth bring the worst of it. The best guard is breed choice: plant kinds that shrug the ill, and pull the canes that show its knife-cut crown. Sprays help on a set drumbeat. The team close with a call for germ-based guards to cut the spray load.
