Abstract
Sugarcane smut (Ustilagoscitaminea), red rot (Glomerellatucumanensis), sugarcane leaf blast (Paraphaeosphaeriamichotil). sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Curvularia leaf spot are the prevalent diseases of sugarcane in Nigeria today. Sugarcane pests of economic importance include the stemborers, termites and nematodes. These diseases and pests can be managed by cultural and chemical methods pending the development of resistant varieties. The problems caused to sugarcane growers in some states of Nigeria by these diseases and pests, and some palliative measures which are used to contain them, are discussed.
