ABSTRACT
A study on the occurrence of Phytopathogenic fungi on
Saccharum officinarium (sugarcane) in Umuahia was carried out through different
microbial processes involving the isolation and characterization of
Phytopathogenic fungi on Saccharum officinarum .The study started with the
isolation of Phytopathogenic fungi from sugarcane stem. Samples were collected
from four different sugarcane vendors and carried to the laboratory with a
sterile polyethylene bag. And the diseased part of the sugarcane stems were
sampled for examination using the Sabourad's dextrose agar (SDA).The occurrence
of phytopathogenic fungi from the diseased parts of the sugarcane stems were
identified using cultural, microscopic and morphological characteristics.
Fungal isolates identified were Colletotricum falcatum, Fusarium sacchari, and
Aspergillus sp. There was the prevalence of the Red rot disease of sugarcane
caused by Colletotricumfalcatum with the percentage of 62.5%.
