Procedures for the establishment and operation of approved seed plots: fourth edition 2013
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)Hot-water treatment of sugarcane cuttings (stalks or stalk pieces) to control the spread of diseases and pests was pioneered in Australia. Hot-water treatment can reduce the risk of cuttings being infected with ratoon ... -
Product and profit; delivering precision to users of precision agriculture in the Australian sugar industry; yield monitoring : Final report 2014/028
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)The ability to collect robust yield data has been demonstrated in a previous SRA-funded project CSE022 (=2008/022) across a range of different yield sensing options. This same project documented a set of procedures and ... -
Production and evaluation of SCMV resistant transgenic sugarcane pests derived from transformed callus : SRDC final report BS94S
(1997)We have successfully demonstrated that sugarcane can be genetically engineered for resistance to sugarcane mosaic virus, using the coat protein gene of the virus to mediate resistance. At present the frequency of plants ... -
Production of an automated cane billet sampler for research trials : SRDC final report BSS156
(2000)Sugarcane breeding and research programs currently rely on hand-cut sound whole-stalk samples for determination of commercial cane sugar (CCS) and other quality components. These samples of sugarcane are free from extraneous ... -
