Management of soldier flies in sugarcane
(1995)Soldier flies, particularly the sugarcane soldier fly Inopus rubriceps (Macquart), cause sugarcane losses from Innisfail to New South Wales. Recorded losses reached their highest level in the 1960s. Prior widespread use ... -
Management of the interface between sugarcane cycles in a permanent bed, controlled traffic farming system
(2006)Legume breaks, controlled traffic and minimum/zero-tillage have all been shown to individually benefit the profitability and sustainability of the sugarcane production system. The research reported here discusses how these ... -
Management practices to improve soil health and reduce the effect of detrimental soil biota associated with yield decline of sugarcane in Queensland Australia
(2003)Yield decline (YD) of sugarcane is a widespread problem throughout the Australian sugar industry. It is defined as “the loss of productive capacity of sugarcane-growing soil under long-term monoculture”. Factors contributing ... -
Managing farm safety in the sugar industry field sector : a report for the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation
