    Development of a streamlined life cycle assessment (LCA) tool for assessing the environmental benefits of progressive cane growing : SRDC Final report UQ045
    (SRDC, 2012) Renouf, M; Allsopp, P
    The Australian sugar industry faces continuing expectations to demonstrate environmentally sustainable sugarcane growing practices. This has been driven by moves to protect water quality (through the Australian Government’s Reef Water Quality Protection Plan and the Queensland Government’s Reef Protection Legislation), requirements to develop best-practice guidelines, and also by opportunities to participate in greenhouse gas abatement through the Australian Government’s Carbon Farming Initiative.

    Identification of canegrub-resistant transgenic sugarcane lines for commercial evaluation : SRDC final report BSS237
    (2004) Geijskes, R; Nutt, K; Allsopp, P
    This project aimed to progress canegrub-resistant transgenic sugarcane to recommendations for field testing by negotiating IP and research agreements to allow commercial release of transgenic plants, determining the insecticidal performance of current transgenics expressing snowdrop lectin and protease inhibitors, testing additional products for antimetabolic effects on canegrubs and incorporating active ones into the program, and producing additional transgenic lines using snowdrop lectin and protease inhibitors and based on other cultivars.

    Preparedness for borer incursion : SRDC final report BSS249
    (BSES, 2003) Sallam, M; Allsopp, P
    Moth borers are the most devastating pests of graminaceous plants, including sugarcane, in the world. Australia is so far free of all the major borer species, but several species occur in countries close to Australia, with some reaching as close as the Torres Strait islands. This project was carried out to increase Australia's preparedness for an incursion of an exotic cane borer.The project started by developing Pest Incursion Management Plans (PIMPs) specific to each group of borers. PIMPs were developed for the borer genera Chilo, Diatraea, Eldana, Sesamia and Scirpophaga. The plans detail the steps to be taken in case of a borer incursion, and include extensive dossiers on each species with information on their distribution, host plants, symptoms, economic impact, morphology, detection methods, biology and ecology, natural enemies, management options and phytosanitary risk.
