    Better targeting new cultivars : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project
    (2012) Rudd, A
    Aim: Better targeting of new cultivars for soiltypes/environments not covered by BSES. Conduct: Trials with advanced clones and other best bet’s were planted in 2009, 2010 & 2011 were planted in both the Mossman and Tableland mill areas. The 2009 trials were assessed in 2010 and 2011 and the 2010 trials assessed in 2011. Ten overseas clones with a degree of smut resistance were included in the Mossman trial at the request of the local industry. Key Results: Provided key personnel and district growers with yield data supporting recently released and prospective varieties on local soil types and in local environments. No overseas clones warranted further testing. Key Learnings: Data obtained was a factor in the providing local growers with the confidence to rapidly adopt new varieties.

    Optimum selection strategies in original seedlings particularly for heavily lodged crops : SRDC final report BS46S
    (1999) Kimbeng, CA; McRae, TA
    The objectives for this project were: to evaluate the effectiveness of family selection in the plant crop of original seedlings of sugarcane grown to full crop potential in the Burdekin region. The crop will probably be heavily lodged; to evaluate the effectiveness of visual (mass) selection in the young first ratoon crop; to determine the level of family performance in seedling populations required for a family to be selected. Information derived from this study would enable the breeder to design the most cost effective and efficient selection scheme for this stage of the breeding program for the Burdekin region

    Genotype X environment interaction for clones and crosses planted in Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales : SRDC final report BS15S
    (1997) Bull, JK
    The main aims of this project were to assess whether original seedling families produced for south Queensland would be suitable for the New South Wales sugar industry and to determine whether clones selected at the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station would perform similarly under northern New South Wales cropping conditions.
