| dc.description | This paper presents an account of some experiments conducted under laboratory conditions to determine whether the causal agent of the ratoon-stunting disease of sugarcane could be transmitted from infected to healthy cane through the soil. The results demonstrated that, under the conditions of the experiment, no transmission of the infective agent from diseased to healthy plants occurred, even though the plants were grown in close contact in the soil for several months. No transmission through contact of the aerial parts was observed either. The results tend to indicate that the infection or reinfection through the soil of heat-treated cane used in the control of the disease is extremely difficult if not impossible. | en-US |
| dc.description | Este estudio presenta los resultados de experimentos llevados a cabo en el laboratorio con el objeto de determinar si el agente causal del enanismo del retoño de la caña de azúcar puede trasmitirse a través del suelo. Los resultados demuestran que no ocurrió tal trasmisión, aún cuando las plantas se desarrollaron en el suelo en estrecho contacto unas con otras. Tampoco se observó caso alguno de trasmisión en aquellas plantas que, aunque sembradas en distintos tiestos, se mantuvieron lo suficientemente juntas como para que sus hojas se entrelazaran durante el curso del experimento. Por lo tanto, los resultados obtenidos indican que la infección, o bien la reinfección de la semilla tratada con calor para inactivar el virus es sumamente difícil, si no imposible a través del suelo. | es-ES |
