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 ... -

(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, ... -
Precision agriculture; an avenue for profitable innovation in the Australian sugar industry, or expensive technology we can do without? : SRDC Final report CSE018
(2007)Precision Agriculture (PA) is an all-encompassing term given to a suite of technologies which promote improved management of agricultural production through recognition that the potential productivity of agricultural land ... -
Precision farming with controlled traffic and GPS guidance system : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)After working with the Central Region new farming system grower group we decided to take the system to the next level and implement GPS guidance and precision. Our aim was to overcome the problems associated with converting ... -
Prediction and management of acidity production and export from acid sulphate soils used for sugar production final report SRDC Project DNR004
(2001)The experimental design of this project successfully enabled runoff and groundwater drainage flow components to be distinguished in a cane-farming context at Pimpama, southeast Queensland. The majority of acidity exported ... -
