    A monitoring-based system to enhance canegrub control best management practice for Isis sugarcane growers : final report GGP056
    (BSES, 2013) Stanley, W; Chandler, K
    The aim of GGP-056 was for growers to experience the effectiveness and practical value of monitoring canegrub risk as the basis for more cost-effective and efficient canegrub management: - taking the most appropriate option, including the most suitable insecticide treatment if and when and where needed, as opposed to current routines that are in the main effective but not as efficient as possible.

    Optimum canegrub management within new sustainable cropping systems : SRDC final report BSS266
    (BSES, 2010) Samson, K; Chandler, K; Sallam, N
    This project addressed the issue of canegrub management in new farming systems. Many cane growers are adopting or planning to adopt one or more components of 'new farming systems' - legume rotations, reduced tillage and controlled traffic - to improve the profitability and sustainability of their farms. Canegrubs can be a constraint on cane productivity in conventional systems if not managed appropriately. Changes to farming systems could have positive or negative impacts on canegrub populations and the damage they cause, and may require changes to management tactics.
