    Assessment of the potential of sex pheromones as strategic lures for the control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS17S
    (BSES, 1991) Allsopp, PG; Stickley, BDA
    Sex pheromones were shown to be emitted by females of Antitrogus consanguineus, A. parvulus and L. picticollis. Attraction of males of L. picticollis to females of A. consanguineus shows that the compound or compounds involved are similar in those two species. Detection of pheromones was probably related to the morphology of the adult antennae. One compound was present in emissions of adult female L. negatoria, but this compound could not be identified.

    Review of the R&D response to sugarcane smut with special reference to the SmutBuster Research Program : 16-20 February 2009
    (BSES, 2009) Hoy, J; McIntosh, B; Hogarth, DM
    The BSES-CSIRO sugarcane improvement joint venture was successful in obtaining the funding for work towards the development of productive, smut-resistant varieties in a project called SmutBuster. The SRDC-BSES research agreement for the SmutBuster project includes a requirement to review the breeding strategy for smut resistance. In January 2009, BSES commissioned Professor Jeff Hoy, Louisiana State University, Professor Bob McIntosh, University of Sydney, and Dr Mac Hogarth, formerly with BSES and SRDC, to conduct the review.
