(BSES, 2000)Transgenic sugarcane plants engineered to express either the potato proteinase inhibitor II or the snowdrop lectin gene show increased antibiosis to larvae of Antitrogus consanguineus in pot-based glasshouse trials.Canegrubs ... -
Determining the biology of rhopaea canegrub in the New South Wales sugar industry : SRDC final report BSS201
(BSES, 2002)Rhopaea canegrub (Rhopaea magnicornis Blackburn) is the major insect pest of the New South Wales sugar industry with about 25% of Condong farms affected. Rhopaea has also been reported as a pest in the Broadwater and Nambour ... -
Effect of farming practices on canegrub incidence : SRDC final report project BSS166
(BSES, 2002)The impact of farming practices on numbers of Childers canegrubs was determined in southern Queensland by a survey of 441 field-year combinations that related practices to the numbers of second- and third-instar larvae in ... -
Expanded registration for Metarhizium strains against canegrubs : SRDC final project report BSS246
(BSES, 2002)Eight fungicides and three liquid insecticides are registered in Queensland for application to sugarcane at planting, and these may come into contact with Metarhizium during application from cane planters. Seven of the ... -
Farming systems that optimise the control of greyback canegrubs by BioCane� : SRDC final report BSS226
