Overcoming barriers to controlled traffic adoption : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)At the commencement of this project, the available solutions for keeping harvesting traffic centred on wider row spacings while adequately filling cane bins are not effective. This was due to unsuitable harvester elevator ... -
Overcoming constraints to high yield and CCS in large and lodged cane crops
(2001)Past research indicates that large sugarcane crops (that usually also happen to be lodged) experience a slowdown in growth during winter, well before harvest (Muchow et al. 1996). The project examined factors affecting the ... -
Overcoming on-farm constraints to productivity and profitability in a wet tropical area
(2003)The CCS in the wet tropics has been declining steadily for over three decades, a period in which green cane harvesting-trash blanketing (GCTB) has become standard practice among growers throughout the wet tropics. In the ... -
Overseas sugarcane quarantine and emergency response planning : SRDC final report BSS280
(BSES, 2005)The aim of this trip was for Dr Mohamed Sallam, BSES entomologist, to gain experience in sugarcane biosecurity and to learn about sugarcane pest and disease problems in the United States. In addition Dr Sallam participated ... -
Pachymetra awareness project for Condong Mill area: final report 2012/064
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Objectives: Use innovative approaches to motivate and demonstrate the potential benefits to improve Pachymetra management for farmers. Build capacity in growers to better manage Pachymetra on their farms. . Increase farm, ... -
Pachymetra chaunorhiza as a factor involved in stool tipping in North Queensland : SRDC final report BS33S
(BSES, 1991)The objectives of this project were to determine the soil and environmental factors favouring Pachymetra root rot, and how these contributed to stool tipping in the moderately resistant and susceptible varieties Q117 and Q124. -
Pachymetra root rot surveys of the Tully district update 2018 : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Pachymetra root rot is a soil-borne disease that impacts all sectors of the Australian sugar industry. The disease attacks the root system of sugarcane crops, affecting yields and leading to stool loss and shortened crop ... -
Pathways to exploiting enhanced photosynthetic efficiency for higher sucrose and biomass yield
(2011)Australia has one of the highest commercial cane sugar (CCS) levels in the world but unfortunately CCS appears to have plateaud at about 14% of fresh cane weight over the past 20 years. Up to now in breeding programs, ... -
Pathways to water quality improvement in the Myrtle Creek sub-catchment : final report 2017/810
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)The Pathways to Water Quality Improvement in the Myrtle Creek Sub-catchment project (Myrtle Creek Project) has run in the Proserpine area for three years (2018-2021), connecting sugarcane growers in the Myrtle Creek ... -
Perfect markers for sugarcane mapping
(2001)Sugarcane is a complex aneuploid, polyploid, interspecific hybrid. Most breeding traits are complex and molecular markers associated with these traits are a tool that may assist breeders to more efficiently identify sugarcane ... -
Pest risk analysis of sugarcane for the Northern Australia Quarantine Strategy
(BSES, 1997)The purpose of this pest risk analysis (PRA) is firstly to identify quarantine pests and pathogens which pose a threat to sugarcane, which may enter Australia through its northern borders into the area covered by the AQIS ... -
Pest risk analysis of sugarcane for the Northern Australia Quarantine Strategy - Quarantine insects
(BSES, 1998)The purpose of this pest risk analysis (PRA) is, firstly to identify quarantine pests and pathogens which pose a threat to sugarcane, which may enter Australia through its northern borders into the area covered by AQIS ... -
Phytotoxic substances associated with the decomposition of sugarcane trash residues. (Final report SRDC Project BS31S)
(1992)Ratooning through trash blankets is generally effective with minor exceptions for certain varieties and in cold or waterlogged soils. Information was required to determine whether these effects are normal reactions of slow ... -
Plant resistance to canegrubs : SRDC final report BSS132
(BSES, 2002)The project sought to determine the range and types of resistances to feeding by canegrubs in sugarcane clones and their wild relatives. Resistance was tested in both pot trials and field trials and the importance of ... -
Plant-parasitic and free-living nematodes associated with sugarcane in North Queensland
(ASSCT, 2018)SURVEYS OF NORTH Queensland sugarcane soils indicated that root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus zeae) was the most important nematode pest because it occurred in most fields and was often present at high population densities. ... -
Population dynamics of Inopus rubriceps in sugarcane fields with emphasis on bionomic factors assisting pest management (Final report SRDC Project BS11S)
(BSES, 1991)Restrictions were placed on the use of dieldrin in 1987 and its registration for use in the sugar industry lapsed in mid-1991. As no other insecticide is presently available to replace dieldrin, there is an urgent need ... -
Power factor correction : North Eton mill 1979

Pre-treatment of sugar cane : Final report JCU030
(2011)This project developed a customised microwave applicator for the pre-treatment of sugar cane. Three undergraduate Engineering students investigated the optimisation of microwave treatment, mechanical and chemical properties. ... -
Precision agriculture options for the Australian sugarcane industry
(2007)Precision agriculture (PA) has been embraced in other Australian agricultural industries. With the increase in adoption rates of new farming system principles including controlled traffic within the sugarcane industry, ...
