A study was made to determine the effect of various temperatures (65°, 75°, 85°, and 95° F.) on symptom expression by sugarcane plants affected by mosaic virus strains A and B in climate chambers. Symptoms incited by both strains A and B on sugarcane differential host C.P. 31-294 were best observed at 85° F. Necrosis produced by strain A at 65°, 75°, and 85° F. did not occur at 95° F. Growth retardation resulting from infection by strain B at 65° and 75° F. was not observed at 95° F.
