A field experiment to evaluate the response of sugarcane varieties to waterlogging
Salter, B; Park, G; Kok, E (ASSCT, 2018)RECENT PRODUCTIVITY REVIEWS in the Herbert and Central regions identified strong negative correlations between excessive rainfall and productivity. Waterlogging has a significant effect on sugarcane productivity. It ... -
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
Patane, P; Landers, G; Thompson, M; Nothard, B; Norris, CA; Olayemi, M (ASSCT, 2019)Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) recommends that harvesters maintain pour rates of 80-90 t/h, depending on make and model, and recommends extractor-fan speed guidelines that ensure minimal cane loss with low extraneous ... -
Barcoding a tool to assist the industry to manage insect incursions
Braithwaite, K; Chandler, K; Sallam, N (ASSCT, 2015)THE AUSTRALIAN SUGARCANE industry has been fortunate not to have several significant insect pests that exist overseas. Moth borers are a particular concern to the Australian sugar industry due to the heavy losses they cause ... -
Biosecurity research in PNG 2015-2017
Magarey, RC; Braithwaite, KS; Kuniata, LS; Thompson, NP; Korowi, K; Samson, PR; Tom, L; Sallam, N; Derby, L (ASSCT, 2018)PAPUA NEW GUINEA is the centre of diversity for several species in the genus Saccharum, including S. officinarum, selections of which constituted the first commercial sugarcane varieties in Australia. Apart from providing ... -
Can directed-spray strategies control Guinea Grass stools? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Fillols, E; Staier, TN (ASSCT, 2019)Guinea grass is a troublesome perennial grass in our sugarcane farming system. Despite a range of effective pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicides, optimum spray windows are often missed and established Guinea ... -
Chlorotic streak resistance screening in the Tully district
Magarey, RC; Sevntek, K; Bull, JI; Stringer, JK; Zamora, R (ASSCT, 2016)CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) was first recognised more than 85 years ago and is present in most cane-growing countries around the world. An important management strategy is the use of resistant varieties; past research ... -
Chlorotic streak transmission and crop dynamics research
Magarey, RC; Sventek, K; Bull, JI; Braithwaite, KS (ASSCT, 2016)CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) is transmitted in water, specifically drainage, flood or irrigation water. Research showed that transmission in water was increased by the addition of oxytetracyline (Terramycin). A two-hour ... -
Combining weed efficacy, economics and environmental considerations for improved herbicide management in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area
Fillols, E; Davis, AM; Lewis, SE; Ward, A (Science of the Total Environment, 2020)The current Australian sugarcane industry transition toward adoption of an ‘alternative’ herbicide strategy as part of improved environmental stewardship is increasingly complicated by recent farming system, regulatory and ... -
Developing an alternative herbicide management strategy to replace PSII herbicides in the Wet Tropics area : final report 2014/050
Fillols, E; Lewis, S; Davis, A (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018) -
Does rotating cultivars with intermediate resistance influence pachymetra root rot of sugarcane : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Jensen, AS; Croft, BJ; Parfitt, RC; Brown, PH (ASSCT, 2019)Concerns have been raised by industry members over lower than expected cane yields associated with high oospore levels in sugarcane cultivars rated to have intermediate resistance to pachymetra root rot. This is a significant ... -
Effect of neonicotinoid, pyrethroid and spirotetramat insecticides and a miticide on incidence and severity of Yellow Canopy Syndrome : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Olsen, DJ; Ward, AL (ASSCT, 2019)Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a condition affecting Australian sugarcane that can lead to yield losses in excess of 30% in severely affected crops. The causal agent of this condition is unknown. Insect pests are well ... -
Effect of Phytocercomonas venanatans, the causal agent of chlorotic streak, on yield of commercial sugarcane cultivars : ASSCT poster paper
Ngo, AN; Wickramasinghe, P; Bratihwaite, KS; Croft, BJ (ASSCT, 2019) -
Effect of the soil-binding adjuvant Grounded® on herbicide efficacy and runoff losses in bare soil in ratoons : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Fillols, E; Davis, A (ASSCT, 2021)To reduce the impact of pesticides, in particular pre-emergent herbicides, on fresh and estuarine water bodies of the Great Barrier Reef catchment, while maintaining productivity, the sugar industry is exploring innovative ... -
Effects of pachymetra root rot and nematodes on some elite sugarcane clones in Australia
Bhuiyan, SA; Croft, BJ; Wong, E; Ogden-Brown, J; Turner, M; Parfitt, R; Magarey, RC; Bull, J; Cox, MC (ASSCT, 2016)PACHYMETRA ROOT ROT and nematodes are the two most important soil-borne pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. An experiment was established in Yandaran, Queensland in grey forest soil with high Pachymetra spore counts (>100 ... -
Evaluation of scheduling tools for the sugar industry : Final project 2015/082
Jaramillo, A (Cotton Research and Development Corporation, 2017)This study was commissioned to Sugar Research Australia (SRA) and AgriTech Solutions to evaluate the irrigation scheduling tools in the sugar industry and assess the feasibility of using satellite imagery as part of a ... -
