Molecular assay of major soilborne sugarcane pathogens for better exploitation of commercial varieties : final report 2016/047
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)A commercial assay service, based on specific DNA tests for soil-borne pathogens, has been developed for various cropping industries by the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), Adelaide. A unique ... -
Molecular tagging of economically important genes and promoters in sugarcane
(1992)Project Objectives : The overall aim of this project was to develop techniques for the isolation of useful gene control sequences (promoters) in sugarcane. Early in the project we also undertook preliminary studies to lay ... -
monitoring and evaluation manual for researchers
(Agtrans Research, 2010)An impact evaluation framework encompasses a cohesive structure for evaluating research investment at project, program and portfolio levels with accountability as the prime purpose. An impact framework would normally ... -
Monitoring cane at the mill to improve nitrogen management on the farm : final report CTA029
(SRDC, 2002)The project originally had a third objective, namely to “Develop promising leads in rapid and cost effective analyses of N compounds in the mill juice stream to a “proof-of-concept” stage.” Instrumentation issues and ... -
Monitoring cane at the mill to improve nitrogen management on the farm, a pilot study : final report CSC21A
(BSES, 1997)The project examined variation in amino-N in cane supply at the Macknade Mill during the 1996 crushing season. This variation was related to factors such as crop class, variety, time of harvest, ccs, and farm supplying the ... -
More crop per drop : SRDC final report BSS305
(2011)Water stress is the major constraint to productivity in the Australian sugar industry, with an estimated cost of $260 million/annum (CSE014 Milestone Report 3.5). In 2003 and 2004, the losses exceeded $140 million in ... -
More crop per drop: development of water-efficient and drought tolerant sugarcane cultivars for irrigated and dryland farming
(2014)Water limitation is a major production constraint for sugarcane in Australia. Despite its economic importance, there has been little effort in breeding for water stress (drought) tolerance and water use efficiency (WUE) ... -
Mulgrave cane growers strategic grub management; implementing BSES decision-making tools : SRDC Grower Group innovation project
(BSES, 2010)This project was a continuation of previous SRDC/BSES GrubPlan projects in which the importance of a thorough grub monitoring program was highlighted. Essentially, the need for more grower involvement led to the creation ... -
National Program for Sustainable Irrigation
(2010)The National Program for Sustainable Irrigation was a unique collaboration as it involved governments, irrigators, water providers and researchers from across Australia. It covered every aspect of irrigation from dam ... -
New germplasm to develop more productive varieties with enhanced resistance to nematodes, pachymetra root rot and smut : final report 2011/344
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Sugarcane industries around the world were transformed in the early 1900s when Dutch plant breeders working in Indonesia, and Indian breeders, working independently, developed sugarcane varieties derived from the wild ... -
A new high throughput method for screening for root-knot and root-lesion nematode resistance in sugarcane : Final report 2019/401
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)Root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus zeae) and root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne javanica) are the two most important nematode pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. They cause loses of over $82 million to the Australian sugar ... -
New soybean varieties for fallow cropping of sugarcane fields : SRDC Final report
(2008)Cropping of soybean has been shown by the yield decline joint venture to increase the yield of the following sugar crop by 15 to 30 percent. Part of the benefit occurs via provision of nitrogen to the following cane crop ... -
Nitrate retention at depth under sugarcane in Far North Queensland Wet Tropics
(2002)Nitrogen mass-balance studies for sugarcane grown on Ferrosols (Krasnozem) in the Far North Queensland (FNQ) wet tropics have shown 30 to 50 kg N/ha/yr of the applied fertiliser+N leached below the root-zone (<0.75 m) as ... -
Nitrogen accumulation in biomass and its partitioning in sugar cane grown in the Burdekin : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)Nitrogen is a key component of metabolic processes in plants and due to its mobile nature in soils is often a limiting factor in achieving maximum yield in commercial sugarcane crops grown in Australia. Demand for N ... -
Nitrogen availability from legume and past fertiliser history : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)It is likely that land-based activities within the Australian sugar industry have a negative effect on the quality of water in the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. Improvements to nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) are likely to ... -
Nutrient management from variable rate technology in a control traffic system by the Oakenden Grower Group : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)The aim of the project is to determine the benefits of nutrient management system in a controlled traffic farming enterprise in an environmentally sustainable manner. The project will determine the cost benefits by comparing ... -
Open area and screen resistance measurements on fugal screens
(BSES, 1988)To determine whether the decrease in fugal capacity was due to the working screen or the wedgewire backing supporting it, a series of measurements were carried out on test specimens cut from the top, middle and bottom of ... -
