Effect of Whip Smut Disease on the Quantitative and Qualitative Parameters of Sugarcane Varieties/Lines Abstract Whip smut caused by (Ustilagoscitaminea) is an important fungal disease which is widely distributed all over the world causing huge losses in sugarcane crop. Sugarcane crop basically required humid and hot climate for its development which is also favorable for the different diseases in sugarcane. U.scitaminea the pathogen of whip smut of sugarcane causes great damage in sugarcane crop quantitatively and qualitatively. It reduces cane height, Cane girth/diameter, brix, Pol. Reading, purity and Sugar recovery. Seven promising varieties/lines were taken. (S2003-Us-618, S2008-M-34, S2008-AUS-133, S2003-US-127, S2003-US-704, S2008-Fd-19, S2008-AUS-87). Qualitative analysis showed that the U.scitaminea significantly decreases the cane height, cane girth, percentage brix, polarity, purity, and sugar recovery in all these seven varieties/lines but in case of CCS showed the non-significant results
