Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is an important industrial cash crop. Sugarcane brown rust (Puccinia melanocephela Syd. & P. Syd) is one of the most devastating diseases. The current study was carried out to assessing the sugarcane brown rust disease intensity in Finchaa Sugar Estate, Ethiopia, during the main cropping season of 2016. The field survey was conducted on sugarcane-cultivated fields of Finchaa Sugar Estate. These fields were under age of five three to eight months. A total of 126 fields were assessed. For the fields three components of disease intensity were assessed i.e. disease prevalence, disease incidence and disease severity. From the three disease, intensity severity is directly related to yield losses of the crop. Among those fields; the disease was prevalent on 123 (97.62%) fields. The result of this survey indicates that the distribution of brown rust severity varies from variety to variety and it was varied with the age of sugar cane crop. The assessed data also showed there were about seven sugar cane varieties and they differ in reaction of sugar cane rust disease. The method of data analysis was descriptive statistics. The mean maximum of disease severity (22.5%) was recorded on SP70/1284 variety while the least disease severity (11.0%) was recorded on the variety C132. An incidence of 95.0% on SP70/1284 cultivar and 81.5% were recorded on variety C132. Generally the report indicated that the appropriate management method should be implemented.
