Improving water penetration in the Burdekin
(1990)Poor water penetration represents the greatest source of preventable yield loss in the Burdekin district. The problem occurs in all four mill areas in the district with about 18 000 ha affected to some degree. Cane yield ... -
Hygroscopic water in sugarcane : final report 114
(CSR, 1990)At the 1989 Workshop on Cane Analysis conducted by the Sugar Research Council it emerged that the best technical method of cane analysis for the Australian industry was the direct cane analysis method (DCA) employing ... -
Towards functional specifications of a sampling scheme for commercial sampling of prepared cane : final report V89/17
(BSES, 1990)Payment by Australian sugar mills to sugar can growers has for many years been based on samples of "first expressed juice" - the juice squeezed from prepared cane at the number one mill. This basis for payment is ... -
High grade sugar recovery using a continuous centrifuge : final report BSC25
(Bundaberg Sugar company Limited, 1990)This project report describes the conversion of an existing batch high grade centrifuge to a continuous unit (termed a hybrid fugal) and an assessment of its performance characteristics. -
Viability of the seed of itch grass (Rottboellia cochinchinensis) in the Burdekin district
(BSES, 1990)Itch grass, raoul grass, or guinea fowl grass emerged as a problem weed of sugarcane fields in the Burdekin district of North Queensland during the late 1970s - early 1980s. It is considered to be a native of tropical ... -
Varietal control of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane
(BSES, 1990)Ratoon stunting disease, caused by the xylem-limited bacterium Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli, is prevalent in most sugarcane-producing countries, including Australia. It is regarded as the most damaging disease of sugarcane ... -
Herbicide phytotoxicity screening Central; Southern Queensland varieties 1989 season
(1990)This report summarised the results of the three sugarcane phytotoxicity trials conducted on the Sugar Experiment Station, Bundaberg during 1989. Twelve approved, or promising varieties, from the central and southern districts ... -
Preliminary investigations on the feasibility of co-production of cane pulp and raw sugar
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 1990)Laboratory-scale mechanical refiners were used to prepare four varieties of sugar cane for depithing, and for the production of refiner mechanical pulp (RMP) and chemi-mechanical pulp (CMP) from depithed canes and from ... -
The production of genetic constructs for expression of sugarcane mosaic virus coat protein in sugarcane protoplasts : SRDC final report BS9S
(1990)This project was one phase of research required for production of transgenic sugarcane. Through this project the sugar industry now has a synthetic resistance gene against SCMV that expresses in sugarcane plant cells. When ... -
Effect of far-red radiation on flowering of saccharum spp. hybrids
(1990)Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybrids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine ... -
Effect of far-red radiation on flowering of Saccharum spp. Hybrids : SRDC final report BS1S
(1990)Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybr ids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine ... -

(1990)Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybrids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine whether ... -
Hitch design and dynamic stability of infield haulouts : Final report USQ1S
(1990)This report is submitted to the Sugar Research and Development Council as a summary of the findings generated under the project USQIS, "Hitch Design and Dynamic Stability of Haulouts" . An interim report (July 1990) detailed ... -
Development of a large capacity haulout bin : SRDC Final report DDI1S
(Sugar Research Council, 1990)This report is submitted to the Sugar Research Council as a summary and description of the haulout bin designs which have been generated under project DDI 1 S. Progress with the project has been partly detailed in ... -
Consequences of future management options for the Bremerhaven drainage system.
(1991)The following questions were referred to BSES by the Woongoolba Flood Mitigation Advisory Committee: (1) The possible short and long-term effect on all classes of land of lowering the watertable in the Bremerhaven System. ... -
The effect of soil physical properties on growth and yield of sugarcane
(1991)The literature reporting the effect of soil physical properties on sugarcane growth and yield has been reviewed and areas for further investigation are suggested. There is conflicting evidence in relation to the number ... -
Writing for results : a practical workshop
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 1991)Our Writing for Results Workshop was designed as a follow-up to the workshop held in Mackay September 1991. In it we looked at the writing of project proposals in more detail and sharpened our skills in preparing informative, ... -
Hardening of raw sugar : SRDC final report CSR8S
(CSR, 1991)Australia has a long term contract to supply the Soviet Union with raw sugar. While the contract seeks to avoid delivery in the coldest months, the long transport from Black Sea ports and possible delays can lead to ... -
Assessment of various food constituents as feeding attractants for canegrubs in a pest control program : SRDC final report BS35S
(BSES, 1991)Cellulose acetate filter disks were used to evaluate sugars, amino acids and ascorbic acid as feeding stimulants for canegrubs. Fourteen sugars, 18 amino acids and ascorbic acid were tested with third instars of Antitrogus ...
