Bioassay for comparing levels of pythium graminicola in soils
(BSES, 1987)In the study of any soil borne pathogen it is essential to have some technique for determining the level of the pathogen in the soil. The levels of Pythium species in soil have been measured by soil dilution plating on ... -
Characterisation and maintenance of the Australian sugarcane mapping populations
(BSES, 2003)There were two major aims to this project. The first was to identify markers linked to major diseases of sugarcane that were difficult and expensive to select for. The second objective was to determine the cross-transferability ... -
Developing cytogenetic and molecular tools to improve selection for soil-borne pathogen resistance in wild hybrids : final report 2013/358
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)In Australia, sugarcane has been grown for more than 100 years now as a monoculture without much fallow cropping. Consequently, the heavily cultivated areas had no chance to reduce the levels of soil-borne pathogens. ... -
Does rotating cultivars with intermediate resistance influence pachymetra root rot of sugarcane : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Concerns have been raised by industry members over lower than expected cane yields associated with high oospore levels in sugarcane cultivars rated to have intermediate resistance to pachymetra root rot. This is a significant ... -
Effects of pachymetra root rot and nematodes on some elite sugarcane clones in Australia
(ASSCT, 2016)PACHYMETRA ROOT ROT and nematodes are the two most important soil-borne pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. An experiment was established in Yandaran, Queensland in grey forest soil with high Pachymetra spore counts (>100 ... -
Exploiting Erianthus diversity to enhance sugarcane cultivars : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Introgression of Erianthus arundinaceus into the SRA sugarcane-breeding program has been a goal for researchers for many years. The Erianthus genome was finally accessible to sugarcane breeders with the identification in ... -
Inheritance of resistance to pachymetra root rot : SRDC final report BS27S
(BSES, 1994)Genetical resistance to root pathogens is a sensible strategy for disease control in a perennial crop such as sugarcane. Pachymetra root rot is a serious disease in Queensland and can cause losses of 30-40% in susceptible ... -
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)Production peaked in the Herbert River mills in 2005 but since then productivity has declined. Analysis of mill data in the Herbert has successfully identified groups of farms with similar productivity over time and the ... -
Pachymetra root rot surveys of the Tully district update 2018 : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Pachymetra root rot is a soil-borne disease that impacts all sectors of the Australian sugar industry. The disease attacks the root system of sugarcane crops, affecting yields and leading to stool loss and shortened crop ... -
Regular testing keeps Pachymetra from rearing its ugly head
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Ongoing vigilance is the key to keeping on top of Pachymetra for Tully grower George Henry. -
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
(1990)Yields of most crops are known to decrease if that crop is grown continuously without fallowing or rotation with other crop species. Sugarcane has been grown continuously on many fields in Queensland for 50-100 years. ... -
SRA's Improved Disease Rating System
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)Disease screening of varieties in the selection program is an important part of the decision-making process for advancement of clones through the program and release of new varieties to industry. For many years, disease ...
