Keeping our chemicals in their place – In the field
(2021-07-01)This project specifically examined whether off-site movement of pesticides could be managed through the use of a range of tools and techniques including adjuvants, product formulations, product placement and application ... -
Key factors in control of Greyback Canegrub populations : SRDC final report BS120S
(BSES, 1998)Greyback canegrub outbreaks with severe losses in sugar production have persisted for more than six years in the Burdekin district, but population densities of the pest have declined at locations in the Herbert Valley, ... -
Knowledge of sugarcane physiology and climate-crop-soil interactions : SRDC final report
(2003)Compared to other crops, knowledge of growth mechanisms in sugarcane is inadequate. The question arises as to how much longer can we continue to prosper from sugarcane if knowledge of the growth processes on which our ... -
Land and Water Management Plan drafting tools for the Farming Management System framework
(2005)During the development of the Sugar FMS program it became apparent that Queensland Government requirements for Land and Water Management Plans were becoming an increasingly significant business concern for many cane growers. ... -
Leaf sucrose: The link to diseases, physiological disorders such as YCS and sugarcane productivity : final report 2015/016
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Yellow canopy syndrome (YCS) is a physiological disorder expressing as yellowing of the mid-canopy. Rapid growth following a stress period where growth rate of the top internodes has been compromised creates a supply demand ... -
Lifting the viability of the Mossman Sugar Industry by improving the cane supply : Final report MCB001
(2003)The project was initiated to investigate techniques to improve the long-term viability of the Mossman sugar-producing area through better harvesting techniques. The overall aim was to dovetail with previous SRDC-funded ... -
Lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS210S
(2001)The goal of this project was the development of a prototype lightweight harvester elevator and integrated secondary cleaning system. The goal was commercially driven and proposed transfer and adaptation of high-speed ... -
Literature review of methods of improving the germination of sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS208
(2000)Sugarcane is propagated from vegetative cuttings of the stalk (setts or billets). The cuttings can be planted by hand or through mechanical whole-stalk or billet planters. Billet planters have given variable results ... -
Maintaining access to foreign germplasm by developing methods to detect unidentified viruses in sugarcane in quarantine : SRDC final report BS116S
(1998)Four types of gneeric tests for detecting unidentified viruses in plants were trialed for their suitability for sugarcane. The tests were; double stranded RNA (dsRNA) analysis, sap inoculation of indicator plants, sap ... -
Maintaining and enhancing core skills and capabilities within the NSWSMC, for a sustainable NSW sugar industry : Final report NSC004
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2004)This report describes a 3 year project to improve industry competitiveness by maintaining and enhancing core skills and capabilities within the NSW sugar industry. The project commenced in July 2001. Seven major objectives ... -
Management of furrow irrigation to improve water use efficiency and sustain the groundwater resource
(2004)The Burdekin Delta region depends on groundwater for irrigation and urban supply. Therefore, any adverse impacts on the groundwater resource are undesirable. Field studies were implemented to improve knowledge and ... -
Management of greyback canegrub in sugarcane; from research to practice : SRDC Final Project Report BSS223
(BSES, 2002)This project was designed to involve and educate growers and advisory staff of the long-term benefits and increased profitability of greyback canegrub IPM systems. The project facilitated the adoption of IPM principles ... -
Management strategies for drip irrigation systems in sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS64S
(1998)Two drip irrigation trials were conducted on clay (krasnozem) and sandy loam (gley podzolic) soils to investigate the optimum positioning of drip irrigation tape for effective irrigation on contrasting soil types. Further ... -
Management strategies for rhyparida in southern Queensland : SRDC final report BSS236
(BSES, 2002)Larvae of rhyparida beetles bore into the bases of newly ratooning shoots, causing dead hearts. Very minor damage will kill 'surplus' shoots. More intense damage appears to set plant growth back and cause some yield loss. ... -
Managing farm safety in the sugar industry field sector
(Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC), 2002)It is a sad fact that rural industry contributes more than its fair share of workplace accidents and fatalities. Statistically, farming is one of the most hazardous industries in Australia. RIRDC has been actively supporting ... -
Managing the plant protection aspects of the canelands rural/urban interface
(BSES, 1997)Australia is a highly urbanised country with an ever-increasing urban population. As the cities expand, they continue to encroach upon areas of rural land use. The result is a constantly moving interface between urban and ... -
