Excerpt from American Society of Sugar Cane Technologists Proceedings, 1946-1950 American Society of Sugar Cane Technologists, April 18, 1946. The accompanying graph shows the percentage of the Louisiana sugarcane acreage in disease-resistant varie ties for the period 1928 to 1945. From it, it is apparent that since 1930 marked progress has been made in devel oping varieties with greater resistance to mosaic, root rot and stubble deterioration. With respect to mosaic, this has been accomplished largely through the replacement of the susceptible P. O. J. Varieties, and more recently Co. 281, with resistant ones, leaving Co. 290 as the only susceptible variety that is now widely grown. In the western section of the district, where this variety predominates, mosaic generally has been well controlled in it through roughing.
