Technical assessment of survival of smut spores in bales of sugarcane trash
(BSES, 2008)This assessment considers the survival of smut spores in relation to the proposal to store baled trash until there was a low risk of viable spores being present. -
Technical Report - Evaluation of a Roving Capacitance Probe for Measuring Soil Moisture
(1998)In the Proserpine area of central Queensland, Australia, trials were conducted to evaluate the performance of a proving capacitance probe for determining soil moisture. Soil moisture was monitored using both a neutron ... -
The bacterial biocontrol agent pasteuria penetrans can help control root-knot nematode on sugarcane
(ASSCT, 2018)ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE (Meloidogyne javanica) is one of the most damaging pests of sugarcane, often causing heavy losses in coarse-textured sandy soils. The bacterial parasite Pasteuria penetrans is a potentially useful ... -
The cane growers' quarterly bulletin : special issue farm bulletin no.13
(BSES, 1962)A weed can be defined as an unwanted plant, or as a plant growing in the wrong place. Plants which are useful in their right places become weeds if they grow where they are not wanted. Guinea grass for instance is a useful ... -

The Childers cane beetle : farm bulletin no. 4
(BSES, 1932)The Childers Cane Beetle is a native scrub-land pest, which, since the destruction of the original scrub timbers and the cultivation of sugar-cane on these lands, has found a new set of conditions which have proved almost ... -
The contribution of mechanical cane harvesting to the productivity plateau
(1992)The invention of mechanical cane harvesters has been important in the development of the Australian sugar industry. Mechanisation of the harvest has brought many benefits. However associated with mechanical cane harvesting ... -
The determination of larval instars and stadia of some wireworms (elateridae)
(BSES Division of Entomology, 1934) -
The development of an extension network amongst growers in Tully with a view to improving industry profitability in a participatory atmosphere : final report BSS253
(2002)The challenge for industry personnel was to develop a network amongst canegrowers in Tully that would provide more effective extension of research and development than current methods could achieve. A project in Mulgrave ... -
The economic advantage of reduced tillage planting of sugarcane in Australia
(2003)Land preparation for planting sugarcane is a major cost to growers. Currently growers may undertake up to eight tillage passes to prepare a seedbed for planting. However, this number of passes is considerably less than ... -
The effect of coulter ripping on GCTB ratoons at Hawkins Creek
(1992)In some parts of north Queensland coulter ripping is a standard operation carried out in green cane trash blanketed ratoons. Very little ripping is carried out in the Herbert Valley, even though the soil in old ratoons ... -
The effect of harvester settings on cane loss and subsequent ratoon cane yield
(1992)This replicated trial at Tully showed that harvester settings (basecutter height, forward speed, and direction of travel in relation to crop lodging) can significantly influence the amount of cane left in the paddock after ... -
The effect of soil physical properties on growth and yield of sugarcane
(1991)The literature reporting the effect of soil physical properties on sugarcane growth and yield has been reviewed and areas for further investigation are suggested. There is conflicting evidence in relation to the number ... -
The effect of sugarcane rust (Puccinia melanocephala) on yield
(BSES, 1985)This report details the results obtained from two trials to assess yeild loss caused by sugarcane rust and also outlines the epiphytotiology of the rust disease. -
The effect of two different Toft basecutters on ratoon yield
(1992)The visual appearance of the cane stubble remaining after harvesting with the Toft angled underslung basecutter usually fitted to 7000 series harvesters is different to that remaining after harvesting with the horizontal ... -
The effect of zinc deficiency as a factor limiting sugarcane growth (SRC Project BS14S - Final Report)
(1990)Results from this project confirm that substantial yield responses to zinc application can be expected in deficient soils in North Queensland. Deficiency is commonly associated with lime application. Three soil and two ... -
The environmental basis for clone by environment interaction : SRDC final report BSS76
(2004)This project attempted to identify environmental factors responsible for genotype-by-environment (GXE) interaction by monitoring environmental parameters and relating these to growth responses of test clones. It also sought ...
