Farming systems for green cane trash blankets in cool wet conditions : SRDC final report BS63S
(1998)The three year project to evaluate different farming systems for green cane trash blanketing in cool wet conditions was directed at; evaluating the effect of different trash management practices on crop growth; evaluating ... -
Farming systems that optimise the control of greyback canegrubs by BioCane� : SRDC final report BSS226
(BSES, 2002)The carry-over of BioCane from one crop to the next is likely to be affected by soil cultivation during seedbed preparation. Metarhizium spores were concentrated in the rows in ratoon crops, either as spores surviving ... -
Farming systems tour for the Herbert sugar industry : final report BSS282
(2005)The 'Enhanced Farming Systems Tour' to Sarina and Emerald was aimed at building the capacity for change, learning and innovation through the investigation of several enhanced farming systems in the Sarina and Emerald ... -
Faster flowering - new opportunities for genetic improvement: final report 2012/024
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)In sugarcane, flowering is essential to breeding but is not a pre-requisite for commercial production. Consequently, our knowledge of the processes that control flowering lags behind other crops where the seed is the ... -
Feasibility of acoustic detection of canegrubs for better management decisions : SRDC final report BSS300
(BSES, 2007)Monitoring of pest populations is a key to effective management of insects in many crops, allowing pest-control treatments to be applied when needed, and only when needed. Monitoring should be relied on more for management ... -
Fibre characteristics of cane - results of measurements carried out at Bundaberg during 1986 season
(BSES, 1986)During September, 1986 the decision was made to test for extreme fibre characteristics all cane varieties which are prospective Q canes, in the last season before release. The purpose of these tests was to obtain some ... -
Fibre characteristics of cane - results of measurements carried out at Bundaberg during 1987 season
(BSES, 1987)During September, 1987 a total of twenty-three samples of cane were tested for extreme fibre characteristics at BSES in Bundaberg. The main purpose of this testing program, which was introduced during 1986 season, is to ... -
Field assessment and further development of high-sucrose sugarcane: final report 2014/069
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Sucrose accumulation is critically important in determining sugarcane productivity. Yet, improvement in sucrose content in sugarcane has been almost stagnant for decades in many sugarcane growing countries, including ... -
Field Evaluation of Aggregation Pheromones for Mass-Trapping of Cane Weevil Borer
(BSES, 1997)Sugarcane weevil borer, Rhobdoscelus obscurus (Boisduval) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Rhynchophorinae), is native to Papua New Guinea, but was accidentally introduced to Queensland, Hawaii and Fiji with imported sugarcane ... -
Field evaluation of selected introgression clones for their resistance to root-knot nematodes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Sugarcane nematodes, root-knot (RKN) and root-lesion (RLN), cause an estimated loss of over $80 million per year to the Australian sugar industry. In particular, RKN is a major problem if sugarcane is planted in sandy soil. ... -
Field Experiments to Optimise Lures for Mass-Trapping of Cane Weevil Borer
(BSES, 1998)Cane weevil borer, Rhobdoscelus obscurus (Biosduval) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Rhynchophorinae), is an introduced pest of sugarcane in Queensland, Hawaii and Fiji. It was accidentally introduced from Papua New Guinea ... -
Field performance of transgenic sugarcane plants carrying genes for resistance to SCMV : final report BSS154
(2000)The field resistance of transgenic sugarcane plants to sugarcane mosaic potyvirus was successfully demonstrated, and a number of transgenic lines are available for consideration for agronomic evaluation. Some of the ... -
Field ready, optimised precision weed identification sensor system : final report 2015/055
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)This project aimed to integrate machine vision-based weed discrimination algorithms with commercial spray control systems from a spray equipment manufacturer, to develop a field-ready, optimised, precision weed detection ... -
Final report - SRDC project BS145S : Improving sett/soil contact to enhance sugarcane establishment
(2000)This project had three objectives that were achieved in the following order: quantify the crop establishment practices of canegrowers within the major regions of Queensland and New South Wales; quantify the improvement in ... -
Final report - SRDC project BSS106 : Assessing linkages between machine traffic, soil conditions and productivity
(2001)The objectives of this project was to; 1: determine the effect of matching crop row spacing to harvester wheel track widths on longevity and yeild of ratoon crops planted in dual rows; 2: investigate the mechanism causing ... -
Final report - SRDC project BSS142 : Economic cost of soil compaction
(2000)This project was developed as a result of a study tour undertaken by Dr Braunack (Braunack, 1994) where the concept of the degree of compactness was thought to be applicable to the Australian sugar industry.The overall aim ... -
Final report - SRDC project BSS268 - Accelerating the adoption of best-practice nutrient management in the Australian sugar industry
(2010)This project BSS268 developed further the SIX EASY STEPS program, including additional compentents to its integrated package. It aimed to accelerate the adoption of sustainable nutrient management by: 1: Improving knowledge ... -
Final report : SRDC project BSS198 : Improving nutrition management and recommendations by analysing historical soil analysis database
(2001)The aim of this project was to improve and refine nutrient management in the Australian sugar industry using historical databases of soil test data in order to minimise off-site impacts and increase nutrient use efficiency. ... -
Final report Improving the cation retention capacity of cane-growing soils using high activity clays
(2009)The Australian sugar industry largely relies on tropical soils that have low cation exchange capacities (CEC) and are prone to becoming deficient in Ca, Mg and K without appropriate management. Adding bentonite is an option ... -
