RSD Diagnosis | TAKING SAMPLES | Please remember that in order to improve the chances of detecting RSD:
- only cane that is 9 months or older should be sampled in most extension areas
- stunted stools should be targeted
- one 20-stalk sample should be taken from every 5 ha section in commercial fields
- one 40-stalk sample should be taken from intended seedcane fields
- once the samples have been collected, sap should be extracted from stalks as soon as possible
