Maximising the resistance of sugarcane to soldier fly : SRDC final report BS61S
(BSES, 1996)Infestations of soldier fly (Inopus spp.) cause losses to sugarcane in areas from Innisfail to New South Wales. Cane losses attributable to soldier fly in Queensland in 1995 were estimated at 24 000 t, and the annual ... -
Maximising whole-of-industry benefits from the Australian sugarcane improvement program through an optimal genetic evaluation system
(2007)An optimal genetic evaluation system (GES) is the backbone of any breeding program because maximising genetic gains is primarily a matter of efficient selection. A GES provides information to breeders about which individuals ... -
Measurement and feedback systems for improving market signals for harvesting : SRDC Final report BSS261
(BSES, 2005)One of the market impediments hindering the adoption of best practice for harvesting is the one-price, dollar-per-tonne payment method for harvesting. It provides no incentive for growers to improve farm layout or ... -
Measurement of in-field sucrose loss by mobile refractometry : SRDC Final report BSS318
(2013)A world-first mobile system to measure sugar loss during harvesting has been developed and successfully field tested. This sugar is lost in all parts of the field residue: trash, tops, smashed billets and juice extracted ... -
Measuring the profitability and environmental implications when growers transition to best management practices : final report 2014/015
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)The development of sugarcane Best Management Practices (BMPs) aims to improve the productivity, profitability and sustainability of sugarcane farms. However, there has been limited research that has examined both the ... -
Measuring the susceptibility of Canegrubs to chlorpyrifos insecticide : SRDC final report BS49S
(BSES, 1997)Keith Chandler developed a bioassay system more efficient than any used previously, and used it to measure the susceptibility of 10 canegrub species to chlorpyrifos. The data were reviewed for evidence of resistance. The ... -
Meeting the challenges of sugarcane breeding
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)Mike Cox's interest in plant breeding was raised during work experience with Dekalb Shand's plant breeding outfit in Tamworth. -
Meringa Photoperiod Facility under construction
(BSES Limited, 2007)Three photoperiod houses are located north of the creek and the main complex. Each photoperiod house is a large volume, steel framed structure on a concrete slab, with gabled roof and fascia clad in sheet metal. Set within ... -
Metering technology for liquid insecticide and herbicide application
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)Metering systems have been used in other cropping systems for many years to precisely apply insecticides and herbicides. This technology is now beginning to be used by sugarcane growers. -
Methods for accurate identification of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS97S
(BSES, 1999)The objectives of the project were; determine morphological characters for accurate identifica6tion of larvae and adults of all species of canegrubs; validate the usefulness of morphological characters through DNA analysis; ... -
Micro grids: Powering the future of irrigated sugarcane
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Using a combination of renewable energy, battery storage or mechanical storage could be the most cost effective and efficient way to power irrigation on sugarcane farms, according to a new report. -

Mill ash a key ingredient in managing clay soils
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)A grower-led project in the Herbert has shown that mill ash can deliver lasting soil improvement in heavy clay soils. -
Mill data analysis identifies key productivity drivers
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)The project demonstrated the yield benefits for growers who regularly obtained clean seed. A research project is using mill data to help inform and improve on-farm productivity, delivering benefit along the value chain for ... -
Mill retrofit could improve efficiency
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)The six-roll mill is used almost exclusively by the Australian industry for juice extraction because it achieves higher throughput and performance than most other mill designs. However, it has the disadvantage of higher ... -
