title: [An observation on the regularity of mould invasion into sugarcane and its prevention].
abstract: The factors that influence mould invasion into sugarcane were investigated. Results showed sales pattern, storage condition, and duration of storage for sugarcane were the major influential factors to its mildew. Antiseptic agents had no obvious protective effects on mould invasion. According to authors' experiments, sugarcane can be stored for no more than 3 weeks to prevent from mildew. The outward appearance of sugarcane changed with its contamination of 3-NPA. A simple method for detecting mildew in sugarcane was also described in the paper.
