Main fungi genera associated with sugarcane botanical seed were studied in samples collected from different hybridization stations of Institute National de Cana de Azucar (INICA). The following fungi are reported for the first time on sugarcane botanical seed in Cubaf: Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keisler, Aspergillus caespitosus Raper and Thom., Cladosporium herbarum (Pers.) Link ex S.F. Gray, Curvularia lunata (Wakker) Boedijn var. lunata, Curvularia lunata (Wakker) Boedijn var.aeria (Batista, Lime et Vasconcelos) M.B. Ellis, Curvularia brachyspora Boedijn, Curvularia clavata Jain, Curvularia aymbopogonis (C.W.Dodge) Groves et Skolko, Drechslera bicolor (Mitra) Subram et Jain, Drechslera rostrata (Drechsler) Richardson and Fraser, Drechslera hawaiiensis (Bugnicourt) Subram and Jain, Drechslera sacchari (Butler) Subram and Jain, Fusarium pallidoroseum (Cooke) Sacc, Nigrospora sacchari (Speg), Paecylomyces varioti Bainier. Phaeocytostroma sacchari (Ell. and Ev.) B. Sulton, Pithomyces sacchari (Speg) M.B. Ellis, Ustilago scitaminea Sydow, Ulocladium atrom (Preuss), Chaetomium, Epicoccum Phoma, Penicillium, Stemphylium and Trichoderma spp. The most commonly encountered fungal species belonged to the genera Fusarium, Cladosporium, Drechslera and Curvularia. The fuzz was more frequently infected than the caryopsis. While Fusarium pallidoroseum was commonly associated with fuzz, Drechslera and Curvularia spp. occurred more on the caryopsis.
