Summary
From the foregoing, it is seen that (1) great differences in susceptibility to mosaic are exhibited by the varieties of sugarcane, (2) that most commercial varieties are susceptible to this disease, (3) that some highly susceptible varieties are tolerant to the disease, (4) that a few immune varieties exist and could be made use of as parents, (5) that certain varieties which escape infection under one set of conditions may take the disease under other conditions, and (6) that though the disease is systemic, certain varieties recover from the disease and there is a possibility of the recovering plant acquiring permanent immunity.
