It also provides the latest information on record keeping, environmental considerations, and herbicide resistance. It provides indicative cost estimates of various weed control measures.Item Alternatives to diuron in the Wet Tropics: Wrap-up of the 2014-2015 trials(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016) Ross, PA series of trials in Far North Queensland is assessing the performance of pre-emergent herbicides in trash blanketed ratoons, across a range of environmental conditions. Four trials were carried out in 2014-15 and three trials have been established for 2015-16. Results from the trials in 2014-15 are summarised in this article and tables.Item Taking the mystery out of precision spraying(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016) Ross, PTully region growers Brian and Jamie Dore are integrating GPS technology with their spot spraying, delivering useful results.Item Looking for new weed management systems(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015) Ross, PWeed management is one of the important factors that contributes to a successful farm management plan. With continued scrutiny on diuron, how do some of the alternative herbicides stack up in the Wet Tropics?Item Diuron – can we keep it?(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014) Ross, PAlthough good progress was made towards achieving the Reef Protection Plan’s 2013 target of a 50 per cent reduction in pesticide loads, with water quality improvement continuing to be a major priority, a new target of 60 per cent reduction has been set. This could mean that diuron-based herbicides run the risk of further restrictions on use if run-off levels are not brought under control.Item Metering technology for liquid insecticide and herbicide application(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014) Ross, PMetering systems have been used in other cropping systems for many years to precisely apply insecticides and herbicides. This technology is now beginning to be used by sugarcane growers.
