    Information sheet : Sclerotial sett rot disease
    (Sugar Research Australia Limited)
    Sclerotial sett rot (SSR) was first identified in 2016 at the SRA Woodford Pathology Farm on sugarcane setts sent for disease resistance screening trials. Up until now, it has not been reported anywhere else in the world. SSR affects sett germination and kills young plants (Bhuiyan et al. 2019). It is unclear whether SSR is present in commercial sugarcane farming systems in Australia.

    Information sheet : Assessing the sugar content of a crop for managing the harvesting sequence
    (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)
    The Commercial Cane Sugar (CCS) of a crop can vary due to the variety; age of the crop; arrowing; and moisture; nutrient; or temperature stress. Growers can use a refractometer prior to each harvesting round to enable them to select blocks to harvest with potentially higher CCS to maximise whole-farm sugar yield.
