The fallow – one of the busiest times on the farm
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)While your land has a break from growing cane, you have an ideal opportunity to undertake many farm operations which are not possible during the normal growing period. Make the most of the opportunities which the fallow ... -
The fast fluorescence kinetics; a sensitive tool for early detection of water stress in sugarcane : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)Water stress is a major constraint for sugarcane production in many regions of the world, including Australia. Sensitive and non-destructive early measurement of the crop response to water stress would be of great value ... -
The full monty on the SIX EASY STEPS nutrient management program
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)The SIX EASY STEPS aims at balanced nutrition and sustainable soil and nutrient management. It considers the underlying sugarcane farming system and all essential nutrients for sugarcane production. -
The history of cane pest and disease control boards in Queensland
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)PESTS AND DISEASES have been major factors in canegrowing in Australia from at least the 1870s, when both canegrubs and a disease called ‘rust’ began to attack cane. Control measures against canegrubs were urgently ... -
The impact of harvesting best practice for the Australian Milling Sector
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019) -
The in-field sucrose loss measurement system (ISMS)
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)The ISMS trailer is a mobile system to measure harvesting losses in the paddock that can provide fast and accurate information to the industry. Both Wilmar sugar and Mackay Area Productivity Services (MAPS) have invested ... -
The influence of time of harvest on yields and CCS and the subsequent ratoon crop
(1975)This report deals with the second trial of the growth analysis trial programme on the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station. Full details of the purpose of this programme are outlined in Project Report 1973 -
The inheritance of ash in juice from sugar cane
(1983)Ash per cent juice data were obtained for varieties within 97 crosses in original seedlings in 1979 and for varieties within 86 crosses from three factorial polycrosses in 1981, on the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station. ... -
The linear bug, Phaenacantha australica kirkaldy; a new pest of sugar-cane in Queensland
(BSES Division of Entomology, 1921) -
The management of rodents in North Queensland canefields
(BSES, 1993)Rodent damage to sugarcane has been of concern to the Australian sugar industry since the 1930's. In more recent times, annual surveys have indicated that damage by rodents occurs over approximately 50% (150 000 ha) of ... -
The Mantis - developing an innovative, high flotation, affordable high rise spray unit: final report 2013/070
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)Weed control on the steep slopes of Innisfail is difficult with current machinery. Top heavy, clutch driven highrise sprayers are unable to operate under these conditions resulting in poor weed management strategies for ... -
The next step for Precision Agriculture : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2009)Growers in the Homebush Innovative Growers Group are well aware of the within-paddock variability that occurs within paddocks. The adoption of electrical conductivity (EC) soil mapping technology verified the patterns of ... -
The operation of the two-in-one harvesting attachment in a controlled traffic system : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2009)The project has developed an automatic base cutter system to assist harvester operators utilising the Two in One harvesting attachment. The trial results have proven that the Two in One system offers: The potential to ... -
The physiological and growth response of sugarcane to the sodium absorption ratio in flowing solution sand culture
(1994)The growth of sugarcane variety Q117 in sand culture using nutrient solutions with sodium absorption ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30, each with a constant electrical conductivity of 1.5 dS/m was determined under glasshouse ... -
The production and evaluation of gene probes for diagnosis of sugarcane mosaic virus and Fiji disease virus (Final report SRDC Project BS10S)
(BSES, 1991)Specific and sensitive cDNA probes have been developed for detection of both FDV and SCMV in diseased sugarcane plants. Results from glasshouse evaluation indicate that FDV probes are not sensitive enough to be used for ... -
The production of genetic constructs for expression of sugarcane mosaic virus coat protein in sugarcane protoplasts : SRDC final report BS9S
(1990)This project was one phase of research required for production of transgenic sugarcane. Through this project the sugar industry now has a synthetic resistance gene against SCMV that expresses in sugarcane plant cells. When ... -
The production of transgenic sugarcane plants : SRDC final report BS44S
(1994)Transgenic sugarcane plants, which expressed the coat protein of SCMV at a very low level, were produced by micoprojectile bombardment of sugarcane meristems. Transgenic plants expressing the luciferase (Luc) and B-glucuronidase ... -
The promotion and delay of flowering
(1979)Several aspects of promoted flowering and delayed flowering were examined in small experiments at Meringa. These have application in the controlled flowering of parent varieties to facilitate a greater range of parent ... -
The role of Pythium species in yield decline in Southern cane growing districts : SRDC final report BS80S
(BSES, 1998)Yield decline has been demonstrated in all established canegrowing regions of Queensland. Field and glasshouse studies with soil fumigants have shown that yield decline is largely caused by soilborne biological factors. ...
