The influence of time of harvest on yields and CCS and the subsequent ratoon crop
(1975)This report deals with the second trial of the growth analysis trial programme on the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station. Full details of the purpose of this programme are outlined in Project Report 1973 -
The inheritance of ash in juice from sugar cane
(1983)Ash per cent juice data were obtained for varieties within 97 crosses in original seedlings in 1979 and for varieties within 86 crosses from three factorial polycrosses in 1981, on the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station. ... -
The linear bug, Phaenacantha australica kirkaldy; a new pest of sugar-cane in Queensland
(BSES Division of Entomology, 1921) -
The management of rodents in North Queensland canefields
(BSES, 1993)Rodent damage to sugarcane has been of concern to the Australian sugar industry since the 1930's. In more recent times, annual surveys have indicated that damage by rodents occurs over approximately 50% (150 000 ha) of ... -
The Mantis - developing an innovative, high flotation, affordable high rise spray unit: final report 2013/070
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)Weed control on the steep slopes of Innisfail is difficult with current machinery. Top heavy, clutch driven highrise sprayers are unable to operate under these conditions resulting in poor weed management strategies for ... -
The next step for Precision Agriculture : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2009)Growers in the Homebush Innovative Growers Group are well aware of the within-paddock variability that occurs within paddocks. The adoption of electrical conductivity (EC) soil mapping technology verified the patterns of ... -
The operation of the two-in-one harvesting attachment in a controlled traffic system : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2009)The project has developed an automatic base cutter system to assist harvester operators utilising the Two in One harvesting attachment. The trial results have proven that the Two in One system offers: The potential to ... -
The physiological and growth response of sugarcane to the sodium absorption ratio in flowing solution sand culture
(1994)The growth of sugarcane variety Q117 in sand culture using nutrient solutions with sodium absorption ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30, each with a constant electrical conductivity of 1.5 dS/m was determined under glasshouse ... -
The production and evaluation of gene probes for diagnosis of sugarcane mosaic virus and Fiji disease virus (Final report SRDC Project BS10S)
(BSES, 1991)Specific and sensitive cDNA probes have been developed for detection of both FDV and SCMV in diseased sugarcane plants. Results from glasshouse evaluation indicate that FDV probes are not sensitive enough to be used for ... -
The production of genetic constructs for expression of sugarcane mosaic virus coat protein in sugarcane protoplasts : SRDC final report BS9S
(1990)This project was one phase of research required for production of transgenic sugarcane. Through this project the sugar industry now has a synthetic resistance gene against SCMV that expresses in sugarcane plant cells. When ... -
The production of transgenic sugarcane plants : SRDC final report BS44S
(1994)Transgenic sugarcane plants, which expressed the coat protein of SCMV at a very low level, were produced by micoprojectile bombardment of sugarcane meristems. Transgenic plants expressing the luciferase (Luc) and B-glucuronidase ... -
The promotion and delay of flowering
(1979)Several aspects of promoted flowering and delayed flowering were examined in small experiments at Meringa. These have application in the controlled flowering of parent varieties to facilitate a greater range of parent ... -
The role of Pythium species in yield decline in Southern cane growing districts : SRDC final report BS80S
(BSES, 1998)Yield decline has been demonstrated in all established canegrowing regions of Queensland. Field and glasshouse studies with soil fumigants have shown that yield decline is largely caused by soilborne biological factors. ... -
The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity : SRDC final report CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S)
(1999)Research conducted in this project aimed to better understand the relationship between root and shoot growth, in areas such as how the size of the root system affects shoot growth, do particular root parameters have a ... -
The standard laboratory manual for Australian sugar mills
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)These methods have been developed over time to suit the conditions and circumstances of the Australian Sugar Industry. Where applicable, the methods have been developed along existing ICUMSA guidelines and include lists ... -
The sugarcane advisors information kit
(2013)The material covered in the Sugarcane Advisors Information Kit includes information drawn from BSES’s Manual of Canegrowing (2000). -
The transfer of high CCS traits from wild relatives to sugarcane using biochemical markers
(2003)Over the last 40 years of sugarcane breeding in Australia there have been significant improvements in cane yield but little to no improvement in commercial cane sugar (CCS). It has been hypothesised that this lack of gain ...
