Development of a fungicide spray schedule to determine the effect of sugarcane rust (Puccinia melanocephala) on yield
(BSES, 1984)This study reports on work carried out to develop a fungicide spray program which is suitable for yield loss assessment investigations. Aspects examined include the efficacy of various concentrations of chlorothalonil and ... -
Development of a large capacity haulout bin : SRDC Final report DDI1S
(Sugar Research Council, 1990)This report is submitted to the Sugar Research Council as a summary and description of the haulout bin designs which have been generated under project DDI 1 S. Progress with the project has been partly detailed in ... -
Development of a method to aid decision making on herbicide use for Australian Canegrowers : SRDC final report BSS186
(BSES, 2001)This project successfully met its objectives. It demonstrated the strong competition effect weed growth has on the yield of sugarcane, developed a robust protocol for the rapid assessment of cane variety reaction to ... -
Development of a precision mill mud applicator for a new farming system : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)This aim was to construct an innovative mill mud spreader capable of accurately applying mill mud in a narrow band between 2m dual rows. The group postulated that applying mill mud in a band would increase the area that a ... -
Development of a real time information system for Clarence harvesters : SRDC Final report CHC002
(SRDC, 2008)The Clarence Harvesting Co-operative was formed from the amalgamation of two existing harvesting co-operatives, which in the later years of the project consisted of four harvesters cutting a total of between 350,000 and ... -
Development of a streamlined life cycle assessment (LCA) tool for assessing the environmental benefits of progressive cane growing : SRDC Final report UQ045
(SRDC, 2012)The Australian sugar industry faces continuing expectations to demonstrate environmentally sustainable sugarcane growing practices. This has been driven by moves to protect water quality (through the Australian Government’s ... -
Development of a trash rake : SRDC Final report BS144S
(1999)Objectives of project were: to evaluate the performance of selected commercial rakes under various field conditions; to assess the ratooning vigour of varieties after raking trash from the stool area; to develop an improved ... -
Development of an Educational Package for Canegrowers on Efficient Nutrient Management : final report BSS204
(1999)The aim of this project was to facilitate responsible nutrient management for the sugar industry by providing extension support in the form of a training course for canegrowers. This educational package will enable growers ... -
Development of an improved method of harvester performance testing - in association with the jet-clean system project : Final report NCA001
(2001)In seeking to evaluate the performance of some advanced cleaning system concepts such as the NCEA Jet Clean System (NCA 006) and the NCEA Clean Flow Fan the NCEA became aware of the lack of objective automated harvester ... -
Development of an Intelligent Tool to allow real-time evaluation of harvesting practices as part of a framework for improved harvester payment systems : final report 2016/951
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)The project has resulted in the development of a cane loss indicator which can be a valuable tool to assist the harvester operator to optimise harvester performance as crop conditions change throughout the day. The system ... -
Development of commercial molecular biological assays for improved sugarcane soil health and productivity : final report 2018/009
Project research has shown that the DNA-based molecular assays for Pachymetra chaunorhiza, Pratylenchus zeae and Meloidogyne species quantify soil populations in field samples, confirming research undertaken in project ... -
Development of controlled release formulations of imidacloprid for canegrub control: final report 2014/006
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Canegrub damage resulting from a variety of scarab species is a major productivity constraint for about 50% of Australian sugarcane farmers. Affected growers are spread across all cane growing districts and across all ... -
Development of criteria for draining shallow watertables in the Isis irrigation area
(1993)This project was proposed to the Sugar Research Council because qualitative data suggested a significant problem with waterlogging and salinity in hydromorphic sedimentary soils in the Bundaberg to Maryborough region. ... -
Development of DNA based diagnostic systems for sugarcane pathogens : SRDC final report UQ024
(BSES, 2001)This project developed diagnostic assays for sugarcane pathogens using novel DNA detection technologies associated with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The bacterium Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli (Cxx) causing ratoon ... -
Development of techniques to study root systems of sugarcane : SRDC final report BS56S
(1993)The aim of this project, to develop quantitative, cost-effective techniques for assessing the size and extensiveness of root systems in sugarcane, has been achieved. The equipment purchased and subsequently modified, and ... -
Development of transformation cassettes for sugarcane : SRDC final report QT002
(2000)There are currently few gene regulation sequences (promoters/terminators) which have been shown to be effective in sugarcane. At present, the industry standard gene regulatory sequences used for genetic engineering of ... -
Development of value-added products from sugarcane boiler ash : final report 2011/903
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)Bagasse fly ash from co-generation plants is often recycled into the sugarcane fields. However, bagasse fly ash contains quartz (naturally accumulated by the cane) that may be re-suspended into respirable-sized particulate ... -
Digging down into the function of sugarcane roots
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)A new project is looking at sugarcane roots in relation to genetics, environment, and management, and working toward important new information for the Australian sugarcane industry. -
