Can directed-spray strategies control Guinea Grass stools? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(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 ... -
Cane fibre yields : final report PR04011
(BSES, 2004)This report was prepared for the New South Wales sugar industry to provide an estimate of the additional cane-based fuel available for the proposed cogeneration project. It summarises the work done to date in NSW, as well ... -
Cane grower implemented drying-off irrigation scheduling on the tablelands : SRDC Final report BSS304
(2010)The project set out to develop simple measurement methods which could be implemented by cane growers to increase sucrose yields by indicating when to dry-off mature cane crops and when to provide additional irrigation due ... -
Cane supply options analysis for maximising whole industry profitability : SRDC Final report MSA001
(SRDC, 2001)Opportunities exist for increasing industry profitability in the Mackay region through alternative cane supply schedules that exploit differences in CCS and cane yield at harvest date, found across the Mackay region and ... -
CANEGROWERS strategy for women and teams : Final report CMC001
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2007)This report outlines the results of a project to address the issue of women in leadership roles with the sugar industry in Queensland. The aim of the project was to increase participation of women and other members of ... -
Canegrowing and sustainability - a survey of Australian cane growers with particular reference to the Code of Practice for Sustainable Cane Growing in Queensland : final report BSS238
(2000)The sustainable management of soil and water resources is crucial both for the productivity of sugarcane growing and for the protection of the environment. Canegrowers recognise the importance of maintaining the condition ... -
Canegrub resistant plants containing antimetabolic compounds : SRDC final report BSS163
(BSES, 2000)Transgenic sugarcane plants engineered to express either the potato proteinase inhibitor II or the snowdrop lectin gene show increased antibiosis to larvae of Antitrogus consanguineus in pot-based glasshouse trials.Canegrubs ... -
Changes in summer rainfall and implications for agriculture : final report B.CCH.2111
(Meat and Livestock Australia Limited, 2021)Annual and seasonal rainfall are important drivers of agricultural productivity and profitability in Australian agriculture and various climatological and synoptic drivers influence rainfall patterns in Australia’s diverse ... -
Characterisation and maintenance of the Australian sugarcane mapping populations
(BSES, 2003)There were two major aims to this project. The first was to identify markers linked to major diseases of sugarcane that were difficult and expensive to select for. The second objective was to determine the cross-transferability ... -
Characterisation of proteinase inhibitors from canegrubs for possible application to genetically engineer pest-derived resistance into sugarcane : SRDC final report STU032
(2005)The primary objective of this research was to identify, isolate and clone a proteinase inhibitor from the haemolymph of a canegrub species with activity against the major midgut proteases of the source insect. The potential ... -
