Sugarcane grassy shoot disease Bacterial disease in plants

Sugarcane grassy shoot disease (SCGS), caused by Candidatus phytoplasma which are small, pleomorphic, pathogenic bacteria that contributes to yield losses from 5% up to 20% in sugarcane. These losses are higher in the ratoon crop. A higher incidence of SCGS has been recorded in some parts of Southeast Asia and India, resulting in 100% loss in cane yield and sugar production.
