Abstract: A field experiment was carried out to investigate the level of resistance of sugarcane genotypes to red rot disease against a mixed inoculum of red rot pathogen Colletotrichum falcatum. This study was conducted both at Bangladesh Sugarcrop Research Institute, Ishurdi farm and Regional Sugarcrop Research Station, Thakurgaon farm in Bangladesh. Thirty-two sugarcane genotypes underwent screening, revealing one genotype classified as resistant (Isd 20), fifteen as moderately resistant (Isd 2/54, Isd 32, Isd 34, Isd 36, Isd 37, Isd 38, Isd 39, Isd 40, BSRI Akh 43, BSRI Akh 45, BSRI Akh 46, BSRI Akh 48, I 26-17, I 49-17 and I 78-17) ten as moderately susceptible, three as susceptible and the remaining three genotypes were deemed highly susceptible to red rot. Resistant and moderately resistant genotypes should be prioritized for commercial sugarcane variety development. Integrating these genotypes into breeding programs is crucial to produce high-yielding, red rot-resistant varieties, ensuring better disease management and enhanced productivity in sugarcane cultivation.
