In sugarcane, heavy losses in cane and sugar yields are caused due to the incidence of several diseases viz., red rot, smut, wilt, grassy shoot, ratoon stunting, and pokkah boeng. Nitrogen was associated with an improved incidence of Fusarium species in sugarcane. The most important reason for improving sugarcane quality is to extend the nutritional content, primarily the application of protein. Nitrogen is an essential part of sugarcane management has been reported to be associated with high protein content and excessive yield. N is the most widely reported as an element affecting plant diseases, especially fungal diseases, but in sugarcane unfortunately, very little research has been conducted into the impact of cane nutrition on disease susceptibility.
