Effects of natural enemies on soldier fly (Inopus rubriceps) populations in Queensland
(BSES, 1983)A study was initiated in 1981 to determine the role of natural enemies of soldier fly in south east Queensland. The objective of this work was to gain an understanding of soldier fly population dynamics in its native ... -
Effects of pachymetra root rot and nematodes on some elite sugarcane clones in Australia
(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 ... -
Efficacy and environmental runoff impact of alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied on trash blanketed ratoons
(ASSCT, 2018)THE EFFICACY OF alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied just after harvest on green trash blanketed ratoons was investigated in three field trials in the wet tropics, Far North Queensland. The study also ... -

(ASSCT, 2018)The efficacy of alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied just after harvest on green trash blanketed ratoons was investigated in three field trials in the wet tropics, Far North Queensland. The study also ... -
Efficacy of alternative pre-emergent herbicides applied in trash-blanketed ratoons in the Wet Tropics
(ASSCT, 2016)As a result of continued exceedances in permissible pesticide levels in watercourses, the Australian sugar industry is under considerable environmental scrutiny, which has resulted in the restriction of use of products ... -
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
(1999)Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ... -
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production; optimising the use of limited water under supplementary irrigation
(2000)About 60% of sugar produced in Australia depends on irrigation. In some regions, production would be impossible without irrigation; in others, irrigation is used to supplement rainfall. It can improve production and reduce ... -
Electronic logbook for harvest record keeping : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)The main project aims were to develop an electronic harvester logging system that would be user friendly and reduce the requirements for manual entry of data. The information collected was then collated and reported to the ... -
Enhanced adoption of integrated pest management in sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS225
(BSES, 2002)The project focused on changing the way BSES engages clients in dealing with pest management issues, using the concept of participatory action-learning. Thirty-two small groups of canegrowers were formed around eight pest ... -
Enhanced delivery of PROSPER to achieve adoption of best management practices in the Queensland Sugar Industry : SRDC Final report BSS260
(2006)The late 1990s and early 2000s saw declining productivity and profitability within the Australian sugar industry. This decline was driven by a combination of adverse climatic conditions, declining terms of trade, pest and ... -
Enhanced Productivity Information to Improve Extension Programs and Research Data : final report BS128S
(1997)A project was undertaken to extend previously available productivity software tools. Using the end product of a previous project as a prototype, a new application was recreated in a different programming language. The ... -
Enhancement of the sensitivity of gene probes for viral diseases of sugarcane by the polymerase chain reaction : SRDC final report BS48S
(BSES, 1994)The sensivity of gene probes for two important viral pathogens of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Fiji disease virus (FDV), has been significantly enhanced by a version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ... -
Enhancement potential of 'Ethokem' in control of the common reed (Phragmites australis) using glyphosate
(BSES, 1991)A significant, positive response trend to the addition of the adjuvant Ethokem to Roundup has demonstrated the potential for this additive to enhance herbicidal activity when applied to control the common reed, Phragmites ... -
Enhancing an economic way of doing business in the cane industry : SRDC final report DPI015
(2008)Economics is often viewed by farmers as complex and time consuming. Economic work in the Australian sugar cane industry had been undertaken in the past but the large majority of this work was not targeted towards growers ... -
Enhancing efficiency and integration from field to factory in the Herbert : SRDC Final report
(2010)The Herbert sugar region underwent major strategic change in the harvesting and transport sectors, which will involve $7M investment in siding rationalisation and a substantial reduction in the number of harvesting groups. ... -
Enhancing grower groups in the Australian sugar industry : final report BSS287
(2007)Self-directed and self-funded grower groups in other Australian agricultural industries have demonstrated that participative R&D and action-learning processes can deliver knowledge, attitude and practice change at faster ... -
Enhancing nutrient placement: Sub surface application of cane : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report GGP044
(SRDC, 2011)Historically composting of wastes is used to reduce waste volume by about 50% so that cartage to a landfill site is reduced or in farming provides economics in application to pasture or broad acre. Responding to waste ... -
Enhancing resistance to yellow spot disease": SRDC final project report BSS245
(BSES, 2003)Yellow spot is a leaf disease caused by the fungus Mycovellosiella koepkei. Although known in Queensland since 1950, some facets of the disease have never been adequately researched. Yellow spot principally, but not ... -
