The disease was first noticed in Java in 1892 and is now a very serious problem in all sugarcane areas except In Mauritius. For a long time it was thought that India was free from the devastation of this much feared epidemic. The disease was first observed in India in 1921 by Dastur on two varieties D. 99 and Sathi 131 growing on the Pusa farm.
