Report to the Government of Ceylon on the diseases of sugar cane in Ceylon
(BSES, 1961) Egan, BT
Three commercially important diseases of sugar cane were noted during a survey of sugar cane plantings in Ceylon. Several potentially dangerous diseases were seen, while other diseases of minor importance were also present. Recommendations have been made for the control of all important diseases present, and on quarantine procedure to be followed to prevent the entrance of others.
Soil compaction studies - Mossman
(1975) Hurney, AP
Study was initiated to investigate the effects of the different bin transport systems on soil compaction. Compaction under dry soil conditions does not appear to be a serious problem and can ve overcome by cultivation. Compactive effects are more marked under wet soil conditions and there are indications of residual effects following cultivation.
BSES Cane harvesting studies : preliminary report
(1977)
The sugar cane industry in Queensland has maintained its prosperity by successful mechanization of harvesting and other farm operations. Farm machinery purchases now represent a significant investment decision. It is therefore essential that harvesters satisfy industry requirements.
Factors affecting the sugar content of sugar cane in the wet tropics of Queensland: statistical analysis of ccs data at Babinda and Tully
(BSES, 1972) Sturgess, OW; Hogarth, DM; Hurney, AP; Leverington, KC
In the wet tropics, the sugar content of crops is usually below the state's average and is a critical factor in farm economy, particularly during years of low sugar prices. This aspect of sugar production has been the subject of detailed investigation.
A condensed report on cane deterioration trials : Fairymead, 1967 season
(BSES, 1968) Messrs, PG; Egan, BT; Kirby, LK
Following Discussion between the Australian Producers' Association and the Director of the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations it was decided to carry out a series of cane deterioration trials in the South Queensland district during the 1967 season. As management of Fairymead Mill offered to supply and harvest cane for these tests from their plantation, and to make available laboratory facilities for this work, it was decided to carry out the work at Fairymead.
Pot and intensive care yield trials : interim report BR602
(1976) Pollock, JS
Power factor correction : North Eton mill 1979
(BSES, 1979) McIntyre, RJ; Sturgess, OW; Atherton, PG
A method for the rapid identification of ratoon stunting disease in sugar cane
(BSES, 1977) Steindl, DRL
Work with the electron microscope established a slender coryneform - type bacterium is constantly present in the sap of known ratoon stunting diseased plants and is absent from healthy plants. Purpose of project was to determine whether a reliable method of diagnosing doubtful cases of the disease could be based on the fundings of such organisms in the extracted sap, either by election or phase - contrast microscopy.
The promotion and delay of flowering
(1979) Pollock, JS
Several aspects of promoted flowering and delayed flowering were examined in small experiments at Meringa. These have application in the controlled flowering of parent varieties to facilitate a greater range of parent combinations. Results from some experiments are inconclusive and suggest further research. A useful collection of papers on flowering in sugar cane is contained in the Proceedings of the 11th ISSCT Congress, p505-545
The influence of time of harvest on yields and CCS and the subsequent ratoon crop
(1975) Moller, RB
This report deals with the second trial of the growth analysis trial programme on the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station. Full details of the purpose of this programme are outlined in Project Report 1973
