Field experiments were conducted to observe the effect of sugarcane mosaic virus on cane yield and quality on sugarcane cultivar Triton. The mosaic reduced 8.12 A percent germination, 28.45 percent tillers per plant and adversely affected the cane length, number of internodes and cane thickness. The crop raised from mosaic affected seed suffered 9 percent loss of stripped cane yield and yielded less recoverable sugar (9.5 %) as, compared with mosaic free crop.
