Enhanced Productivity Information to Improve Extension Programs and Research Data : final report BS128S
(1997)A project was undertaken to extend previously available productivity software tools. Using the end product of a previous project as a prototype, a new application was recreated in a different programming language. The ... -
Enhancement of the sensitivity of gene probes for viral diseases of sugarcane by the polymerase chain reaction : SRDC final report BS48S
(BSES, 1994)The sensivity of gene probes for two important viral pathogens of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Fiji disease virus (FDV), has been significantly enhanced by a version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ... -
Enhancement potential of 'Ethokem' in control of the common reed (Phragmites australis) using glyphosate
(BSES, 1991)A significant, positive response trend to the addition of the adjuvant Ethokem to Roundup has demonstrated the potential for this additive to enhance herbicidal activity when applied to control the common reed, Phragmites ... -
Enhancing an economic way of doing business in the cane industry : SRDC final report DPI015
(2008)Economics is often viewed by farmers as complex and time consuming. Economic work in the Australian sugar cane industry had been undertaken in the past but the large majority of this work was not targeted towards growers ... -
Enhancing efficiency and integration from field to factory in the Herbert : SRDC Final report
(2010)The Herbert sugar region underwent major strategic change in the harvesting and transport sectors, which will involve $7M investment in siding rationalisation and a substantial reduction in the number of harvesting groups. ... -
Enhancing grower groups in the Australian sugar industry : final report BSS287
(2007)Self-directed and self-funded grower groups in other Australian agricultural industries have demonstrated that participative R&D and action-learning processes can deliver knowledge, attitude and practice change at faster ... -
Enhancing nutrient placement: Sub surface application of cane : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report GGP044
(SRDC, 2011)Historically composting of wastes is used to reduce waste volume by about 50% so that cartage to a landfill site is reduced or in farming provides economics in application to pasture or broad acre. Responding to waste ... -
Enhancing resistance to yellow spot disease": SRDC final project report BSS245
(BSES, 2003)Yellow spot is a leaf disease caused by the fungus Mycovellosiella koepkei. Although known in Queensland since 1950, some facets of the disease have never been adequately researched. Yellow spot principally, but not ... -
Enhancing sugarcane growth and yield by biocontrol agents and biofertilizers : final report 2014/402
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Australian sugarcane industry is facing significant challenges affecting sugarcane growth. Sugarcane diseases and soil degradation are the two major threats. Many sugarcane diseases are caused by pathogenic fungi and ... -
Enhancing the Plant breeding outcomes of sugarcane cytogenetic techniques : SRDC final report BSS339
(2011)The first part of this project was to attend the annual Plant and Animal Genome XIX (PAG) conference held in San Diego, USA, from January 14-19, 2011, and to present a paper at the associated International Consortium of ... -
Enhancing the sugar industry value chain
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)A major collaborative and comprehensive research and adoption program is underway to optimise the efficiency of the sugarcane harvest and deliver positive outcomes across the value chain. -
Enhancing the sugar industry value chain by addressing mechanical harvest losses through research, technology and adoption : Final report 2016/901
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)The project addressed the challenges of mechanical sugarcane harvesting, that include damage to the crop, cane loss from the harvester and high levels of extraneous matter sent to the mill. It did this by developing harvester ... -
Environmental and economic performance indicators : Farm Management Systems for the Sugarcane Industry, sub-program 2
(2006)This project examines the use of key performance indicators within a Farm Management System (FMS) to assess changes in environmental and economic circumstances attributable to exposure to key risk factors. Such indicators ... -
Environmental factors affecting Adelina in the Burdekin region : final report CE004
(BSES, 2003)The project aimed to determine why the canegrub pathogen Adelina does not infect a significant proportion of the canegrub population in the Burdekin Delta area. It examined the effect of physical characteristics of soil ... -
Environmental stimuli for sugarcane suckering in the wet tropics : SRDC final report BSS221
(2003)The northern section of the industry has been in crisis for most of the years in the decade up to 2002 because of declining CCS. This decline has been due to increased extraneous matter levels due largely to increased ... -
