Smut-proofing the Australian industry - ensuring a reliable cane supply through reduced genetic vulnerability to sugarcane smut
(BSES, 2009)Since the smut incursion and subsequent spread of the disease breeding for smut resistance has become an essential priority for the BSES-CSIRO Variety Improvement program. The strategy that has been adopted includes the ... -
SmutBuster: accelerated breeding of smut-resistant sugarcane varieties : SRDC final report BSS325
(BSES, 2011)Sugarcane smut is caused by the fungus, Ustilago scitaminea Syd., and is one of the most serious diseases of sugarcane. At the end of 1983, only the sugar industries of Australia and Fiji remained free from smut. Sugarcane ... -
Sniffing out ratoon stunting disease
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)While is may not be quite as cute as a beagle, 'e-nose' technolgoy is proving to be effective at sniffing out things that shouldn't be there. In this case it's ratoon stunting disease (RSD) in sugarcane. -
Sodic soils and rising groundwater management in the Burdekin
(2013)Sodic soils are a production limiting issue for large areas of the Burdekin region. Saline soils, saline groundwater and rising groundwater tables also have a high possibility to further limit yield potential. Rising ... -
Soil compaction studies - Mossman
(1975)Study was initiated to investigate the effects of the different bin transport systems on soil compaction. Compaction under dry soil conditions does not appear to be a serious problem and can ve overcome by cultivation. ... -
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
(1990)Yields of most crops are known to decrease if that crop is grown continuously without fallowing or rotation with other crop species. Sugarcane has been grown continuously on many fields in Queensland for 50-100 years. ... -
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
(1991)Evidence from investigations into fumigation, fungicide application, fallowing and growth of sugarcane on recently cultivated soils strongly suggests that yields in established cane growing areas are being restricted by ... -

Soil sampling pays dividends
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)There's more to collecting a soil sample than just filling a bucket with dirt - getting a good result requires planning and a conversation with the people doing the test. -
Soil science delivers productivity gains for farmers
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Local farmers and researchers are using new soil health tactics to help stop the loss of nitrogen into the atmosphere as a potent greenhouse gas. -
Soil-specific nutrient management guidelines for sugarcane production in the Bundaberg District
(BSES, 2007)In 2003 and 2006 soil reference booklets for the Herbert and Proserpine districts respectively, entitled Soil Specific Management Guidelines for Sugarcane Production were produced for cane growers. Those booklets ... -

Soil-specific nutrient management guidelines for sugarcane production in the Mackay District
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)In the last 10 years, soil reference booklets for the Herbert, Proserpine, Johnstone, Bundaberg, Plane Creek, New South Wales and Isis districts, entitled Soil-Specific Management Guidelines for Sugarcane Production, ... -
Soils in their relationship to sugar cane culture; a series of 4 radio lectures from 4QG, June, 1932 : farm bulletin no. 5
(BSES, 1932)In its broad meaning soil is that friable upper layer of the earth composed for the most part of mineral matter resulting from the breaking up and decay of rocks. It is thus the product of rock weathering, brought about ... -

Soldier fly management; insecticide efficacy and varietal tolerance in field trials : ASSCT poster paper
(ASSCT, 2020)Soldier flies (Inopus flavus and I. rubriceps) are an economically damaging pest of sugarcane that can periodically cause major yield losses for some growers in central and southern Queensland. Larvae alter plant growth ... -
Solid 2016 result at Tolga on the Tableland
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Having grown a range of rotational crops in the past, Joe Trimarchi is looking beyond the traditional crops and vegetables that are subject to wild market variations to something he has not tried before.
