Item Herbicide phytotoxicity screening Central; Southern Queensland varieties 1989 season(1990) Bridger, KWThis report summarised the results of the three sugarcane phytotoxicity trials conducted on the Sugar Experiment Station, Bundaberg during 1989. Twelve approved, or promising varieties, from the central and southern districts were oversprayed with a total of 33 herbicides x crop growth stage treatments. Visual assessments of effect were carried out over a period of up to 142 days following spraying. The results of these trials should be taken as a guide only due to variations in weather pattern and microclimate from district to district.Item Herbicide phytotoxicity screening Central; Southern Queensland varieties 1988 season(1988) Tilley, LGW; Horobin, PEItem Herbicide efficacy screen North Queensland 1986 season(BSES, 1987) Williams, RCIn 1984 a wide range of herbicide treatments were evaluated against a number of weed species. Results demonstrated the weakness and strengths of various products, and the optimum timing of application. To further improve the knowledge of currently registered herbicides and of those which may have some potential for use in cane, another series of trials were laid down in 1986.Item The production and evaluation of gene probes for diagnosis of sugarcane mosaic virus and Fiji disease virus (Final report SRDC Project BS10S)(BSES, 1991) Smith, GR; Leonard, GJSpecific and sensitive cDNA probes have been developed for detection of both FDV and SCMV in diseased sugarcane plants. Results from glasshouse evaluation indicate that FDV probes are not sensitive enough to be used for the detection of the virus in asymptomatic diseased plants. Results are not yet available from the SCMV probe glasshouse trial.
