5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Chlorotic streak is a disease of unknown etiology affecting between 35, ha of caneland in Queensland annually. The disease is present in all canegrowing districts but is of greatest incidence in the Herbert River and Rocky Point mill areas. The disease is favoured by poor drainage and is spread by floodwaters. Yield losses of up to 4% have been recorded with the disease reducing germination, ratooning, stalk number, and stalk weight. It is likely to be reducing industry returns by $25m annually. Of concern is the likely increase of the disease with the return to wetter seasons in Queensland and with the increasing practice of recycling of irrigation tail waters in the Burdekin district. It is recommended that a varietal resistance screen be conducted to obtain disease ratings on current commercial varieties and that research into the causal agent be undertaken. 1. INTRODUCTION Chlorotic streak disease is widespread in Queensland and is of particular concern in the low lying, poorly drained areas of a number of canegrowing districts. The causal agent is still unidentified even though the disease has been recognised for over 6 years. Some research suggests that the disease is caused by a virus but no conclusive evidence has been obtained. The disease is spread through flood and drainage water, and infects through the root system producing characteristic leaf symptoms. Significant yield losses are caused by the disease. 2. SYMPTOMS Chlorotic streak is characterised by yellow to creamywhite leaf streaks with irregular wavymargins. These streaks may be short or extend the full length of the leaf blade. Streaks in the early stages of development are usually fragmented. Older streaks have a more yellow hue than younger ones and often have areas of necrosis along the centre of the streak. Death of leaf tissue at the tips and margins occurs in older leaves. Root temperature affects streak production and Sturgess (1962) found that 3 C was optimal for symptom development. In the field, leaf symptoms are often transient, probably as a result of variation in environmental conditions, including soil temperature. Internal stalk symptoms include a reddening of vascular bundles at the nodes; the reddening occurs right through the nodes penetrating a short distance into the internode. 3. HISTORY Chlorotic streak was recognised concurrently in Java, Hawaii, and Australia in the period. Named 'Pseudoscald' in Australia, the first Australian record was in northern Queensland during the first disease survey of that district. The disease was apparently widespread from Cardwell north and endemic to the area (Bell, 1933). The disease was located soon after in the Proserpine mill area, and along the Maroochy River in the Moreton mill area (Bell, 1933).
6 2 Careful disease inspections failed to locate the disease anywhere else and it seems likely that further findings may have resulted from transfer of the disease from infested areas. The progress of the disease through Queensland is detailed in Table 1. Table 1 The chronology of the finding of chlorotic streak disease in each sugarcane district of Queensland Mill area of district Northern Queensland Proserpine Moreton Rocky Point Maryborough Plane Creek Mackay (Pleystowe) BundabergChilders Invicta Lower Burdekin (Inkerman) First report In southern Queensland infested farms were initially quarantined in an attempt to prevent further spread but this proved useless. The first findings of chlorotic streak in each district were of limited distribution but rapid disease spread followed. The presence of alternative hosts, the lack of varietal resistance, and the ability of the pathogen to remain infectious in diseased soils all contributed to the lack of control achieved. 4. NATURE OF THE DISEASE On a world basis, Queensland has been prominent in chlorotic streak research, particularly in the 196s. 4.1 Transmission and infection Research by Sturgess and Egan in the late 195s and 196s showed that the disease was transmitted by exposure of roots to contaminated water; that the minimum infection period for roots exposed to the disease was less than one hour; that the minimum incubation period was 12 days; that drainage waters from diseased fields could be infectious; that root inoculation within three days of ratooning led to high rates of transmission; that infectivity was maintained for at least 15 days in gravel hydroponic culture in the absence of host plants, while drying the gravel for five days eliminated the infectious agent; and that infested soil could remain infectious for up to 9 months in the absence of the host (Egan, 1961; Egan, 1963a and b; Egan, 1966; Hughes et al., 1967 and 1968; Sturgess, 1964).
7 3 A number of attempts were made to transmit the disease by cane knife or other mechanical means but these failed (Bell, 1934; Hughes, 194). Sturgess (1963) noted a low level of mechanical transmission when a hypodermic needle was used to inoculate roots with root extracts. Early research showed that the disease rapidly infected healthy cane planted in low lying areas and Steindl (1955) suggested that inundation of the cane field, no matter how brief, leads to disease transmission if flood waters are contaminated. Sturgess (1964) found that waterlogging increased disease transmission when compared to plants growing in moist, but free draining soil. 4.2 Effect of chemicals on disease development Initial experiments investigated the role of nutrients in symptom development, but none prevented disease development. Nutrients investigated include lithium, sodium, mercury, copper, boron, zinc, manganese, cobalt, barium, arsenic, bismuth, lead and iron (Bell, 1942). Egan carried out experiments in the period on the effect of various chemicals on transmission in gravel hydroponic culture. Dexon, nemagon, aureomycin and terramycin did not prevent transmission; terramycin possibly increased transmission. In contrast, the fungicides captan, PCNB (.5%), and thiram (TMTD) (.1%) greatly reduced transmission. Viral inhibitors (trisodium phosphate and milk) and benzalkonium chloride (Mirrol) reduced transmission considerably when plants were dipped in these chemicals after a two hour infection period (Hughes et al. 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969 and 197). 4.3 Vectors Vectors of the disease are unknown though extensive testing of common insects was undertaken in the 193s and 195s (Bell, 1938; Hitchcock, 1955). Insects tested included Perkinsiella saccharicida Kirk, Lophops saccharicida Kirk, Cicadella pathaon Kirk., Proutista lumholtzi Kirk, Phaenacantha australica Kirk, Saccharicoccus sacchari Ckll., Aphis sacchari Zehnt., Neomaskellia bergii Sign., Aphis maidis Fitch, and Tetranychus sp. 4.4 Causal agent The causal agent has not been identified though some evidence suggests the disease has a viral origin. Sturgess (1963) suggested that the infectious agent could pass through a.5 m aperture filter, and this was later confirmed by Egan (Anon, 1972). Recent unpublished BSES research has shown that dsrna may be associated with diseased leaves. No viral particles have been observed under the electron microscope. 5. ALTERNATIVE HOSTS Egan (1965) and Hughes et al. (1968) reported that the following species were susceptible to chlorotic streak: Arundo donax, Brachiara mutica, Panicum maximum, Paspalum
8 4 paniculatum, Pennisetum purpureum, Sorghum verticilliflorum, Sorghum almum, and Sorghum bicolor. 6. YIELD LOSS 6.1 Magnitude of losses Immediately after the disease was recognised, yield loss trials were established. A summary of results up to the early 196s is included in Table 2. Table 2 Yield losses caused by chlorotic streak in Queensland experiments up to the early 196s Location Year Variety Yield loss References Pathology Plot, Brisbane Northern Queensland Maroochy River Northern Queensland s 1948 late 195s Badila Badila POJ2878 Pindar P Q66 P Q67 P Pindar 1R Q66 1R Q67 1R 4% (stalk number) 34% 25 t/ha (2 yr crop) 3% 17% 27% 1% 23% 16% Bell, 1933 Hughes, 1948 Hughes, 1948 Egan, 1961 Egan, 1961 In two trials in the 195s (Anon, 196), yield losses varied from 13 to 36% in plant cane of seven varieties. In more recent times Symington and Kaupilla (1982), using one row plots of Triton and Cassius, showed with multiple regression techniques that chlorotic streak caused yield losses of 16% in the 1981 season in the Macknade mill area. Nielsen et al. (1986), also working in the Macknade mill area, monitored disease levels and yield in 54 coplanted healthy and diseased strips of Triton and Cassius. They estimated a yield loss from chlorotic streak of.24% per each 1% of stools displaying disease symptoms. This would imply a maximum yield loss of 24%. The disease is probably reducing sugar industry returns by $25m annually assuming a 2 5% yield loss in diseased fields ($28/tonne cane sugar price).
9 5 6.2 Components of yield loss Smith (1952) stated that the use of diseased planting material may depress yield by up to 4%. The basis for these losses he attributed to germination and ratoon failures, increased susceptibility to drought, general unthriftiness, and a marked decrease in stalk number. Overseas experience suggests that chlorotic streak may reduce stalk number, stalk length, stalk diameter, but not ccs (Wiehe, 1955). 7. DISEASE INCIDENCE 7.1 Area diseased in Queensland crops Figures taken from Cane Pest and Disease Control Board (now Productivity Board) data from give an idea of the amount of disease in Queensland crops. The average proportion of crops diseased for the period was 16.2%. The amount of disease in Queensland during the last 17 years has remained between 12%, with fluctuations arising from variable climatic conditions. High rainfall in the 197s was associated with a higher incidence of the disease, while dry conditions in the mid198s led to lower disease levels. Disease figures for each year are presented in Figure1. Figure 1 Percent of canelands in Queensland diseased with chlorotic streak:

11 7 8.1 Hot water treatment As early as 193 it was known that hot water treatment of planting material at 52 o C for 2 mins could eliminate the disease (Bell, 1932). Extensive experiments into the effects of hot water continued in the late 193searly 194s. It was found that temperatures as low as 45 o C for 2 mins were effective (Bell, 1938). Treatment of individual buds only at 52 o C for 2 mins failed (Bell, 194) and it was concluded that the infectious agent occurred throughout the stalk tissue. Not every bud on a diseased stalk is infected however and diseasefree plants can be propagated from lightly diseased planting material (Bell, 1939). Treatment of sections of stalk at 52 o C for 2 mins, with the shoot still attached, showed that chlorotic streak was eliminated from the treated portion and that a period of 18 hrs transpiration did not lead to reinfection of the treated section (Bell, 194). A hot water treatment of 5 o C for 3 mins is now a standard industry practice for the elimination of chlorotic streak from planting material. The regular supply of planting material (approved seed) from diseasefree propagation plots is one of the main forms of disease control in areas where the disease is endemic. 8.2 Varietal resistance There is currently no routine screening of varieties in the plant breeding program although a resistance screen is currently being developed. However, two methods for assessing differences in varietal reaction have been investigated, one based on infection rows and symptom development in the field, the second based on symptom development in a gravel hydroponic system Field test A field trial with the majority of the commercial varieties of northern Queensland was planted at Babinda in May 1935, with diseased Badila in every third row. Varieties included Black Innes, Clark s Seedling (HQ426), POJ 234, POJ 2364, Co 29, Uba, Q2, Q4, Q8, Q12, Q813, S. robustum (unidentified clone), B147, D1135 and S.J.4 (Bell, 1935). Little disease was evident during the plant crop but high disease levels became evident in some varieties in the first ratoon. Significant differences in disease levels were noted between varieties. Two further trials were planted in 1937 (Bell, 1939). Useful information was again obtained in the first ratoon crops. Data were collected on the total numbers of stools per plot and the number diseased. No disease ratings were calculated at that time. However, by selecting POJ234 and SJ4 as the resistant and susceptible standards (ratings of 1 and 9 respectively), the ratings for varieties included in two or more trials can be calculated; these are listed in Table 5.

When trial 2 and trial 3 ratings were regressed, a high rsquared value was obtained suggesting that ratings were consistent between trials (Figure 2) Gravel hydroponic test Egan (1965) reported on a gravel hydroponic system for testing the resistance of a wide range of Saccharum germplasm. Galvanised troughs 18 x 4 x 2 cm deep containing nutrient solution and gravel were planted with varieties ranging from resistant to susceptible. Six stools each of two susceptible varieties were planted along with five stools of six other varieties. When the test canes produced 25 cms of stalk tissue, all shoots were ratooned 2 cms above the gravel and three diseased plants planted into each trough. Symptom development was monitored for 5 days and broad disease susceptibility ratings applied. Using this method, Egan (1965) noted that there was a wide range of resistance reactions in clones of each Saccharum species, including S. spontaneum, S. robustum, S. edule, and S. officinarum.

14 1 9. CURRENT PROBLEM SITUATIONS IN THE INDUSTRY There are some areas of Queensland where chlorotic streak has historically been a problem. These include the Herbert River, low lying areas of northern Queensland, Rocky Point mill area and some poorly drained areas in central and southern districts. Significant yield losses occur regularly in some of these districts. A more recent problem has developed in the Invicta mill area where irrigation drainage water has been reused. The use of tail water is attractive to farmers because it is cheaper than head water but high disease levels have resulted in some crops. In January, 1991, record rainfall was recorded in the central district. Extensive flooding led to a high incidence of the disease in Q135. Chlorotic streak, coupled with the direct effects of waterlogging, resulted in very poor yields. With farmers unaware of the susceptibility of individual varieties, considerable yield losses have resulted form the planting of susceptible varieties in high disease risk areas. 1. RESEARCH REQUIRED The following areas requiring research have been identified: Development of a suitable varietal resistance screen: The results could be used to advise farmers of the possible consequences of the disease on their property. The planting of susceptible varieties in problem areas could them be avoided. The resistance test used in the 193s shows promise. Some account should be taken of when and how severe, symptoms occur in each variety. Investigate methods for inactivating the causal agent in recycled tailwater: This will be important in the Invicta mill area in the Burdekin district where chlorotic streak is a significant problem, large areas of irrigated caneland are being developed, and the use of recycled tailwater is being practised. Develop an effective assay and determine the identity of the causal agent: An understanding of the nature of the causal agent may make alternative control measures feasible. 11. DISCUSSION Chlorotic streak remains a significant problem in some Queensland canegrowing districts, for instance the Herbert River and Rocky Point mill areas. However, yield losses are dependent on season. High rainfall, poor drainage, and flooding provide excellent conditions for disease transmission and high yield losses. Relatively dry seasons in recent times have reduced the area affected by chlorotic streak but with the return to wetter conditions, it is likely to become more important.
15 11 A considerable amount of research has been undertaken in Queensland and this has led to the development of control measures. These include the hot water treatment of planting material (5 o C, 3 mins), the propagation of clean plant sources, and improved drainage. In low lying areas where the disease is endemic, these control measures do not adequately control the disease during the crop cycle. Better control measures would reduce yield losses. The nature of the causal agent remains a mystery. The lack of a suitable assay, and reliance on disease symptoms to indicate the presence of the disease, have hindered studies into the causal agent. Some evidence (passage through.5 µm filters, possible association of dsrna with diseased tissue, and inhibition of disease transmission with some viral inhibitors) suggests that the disease may be caused by a virus. Further research is required to confirm this. Of interest is some work recently undertaken in Tully, New York State, USA. Viruses transmitted in water, with no known vectors, were detected in a river draining undisturbed forest (Jacobi and Castello, 1991). A number of viruses belonging to the potex, tombus, necro, rhabdo, and cucumovirus groups have been detected in water from other rivers and appear to be transmitted in a similar way to chlorotic streak. Some unclassified plant viruses have also been detected in river water (Jacobi and Castello, 1991). Also to be considered is research conducted into the wheat disease, flame chlorosis, in Canada. A virus with no definite particle has been associated with a seedling wheat disease characterised by leaf chlorosis. The virus is transmitted by the fungus Pythium arrhenomanes (Haber et al., 1995), which spreads in floodwaters. A fungal transmitted virus with no detectable viral particle could fit with chlorotic streak observations in sugarcane, although passage through a.5 µm filter is not wholly consistant. The importance of chlorotic streak may increase in some districts, particularly in the Burdekin River Irrigation Area (BRIA) if tail waters from flood irrigation are reused. Disease escalation under these conditions warrants careful monitoring. 12. CONCLUSION Chlorotic streak is a disease associated with poorly drained areas and is endemic in many canegrowing areas of Queensland. The disease may reduce yields by up to 4% and is difficult to control due to rapid reinfection of crops planted with diseasefree planting material. The disease is having a significant economic impact on the Queensland sugar industry and several aspects require further research. 13. REFERENCES Anon. (1972) BSES Annual Report. p.54. Anon.
