Assessment of the potential of sex pheromones as strategic lures for the control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS17S
Allsopp, PG; Stickley, BDA (BSES, 1991)Sex pheromones were shown to be emitted by females of Antitrogus consanguineus, A. parvulus and L. picticollis. Attraction of males of L. picticollis to females of A. consanguineus shows that the compound or compounds ... -
Assessment of various food constituents as feeding attractants for canegrubs in a pest control program : SRDC final report BS35S
Allsopp, PG (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 ... -

Allsopp, PG (BSES, 2001)Following a search of the literature and discussions with entomologists in Papua New Guinea and Louisiana, tebufenozide (Mimic?, Confirm? or RH-5992) was identified as a potential highly useful candidate insecticide for ... -
Canegrub resistant plants containing antimetabolic compounds : SRDC final report BSS163
Smith, GR; Nutt, KA; Allsopp, PG (BSES, 2000)Transgenic sugarcane plants engineered to express either the potato proteinase inhibitor II or the snowdrop lectin gene show increased antibiosis to larvae of Antitrogus consanguineus in pot-based glasshouse trials.Canegrubs ... -
Determining the biology of rhopaea canegrub in the New South Wales sugar industry : SRDC final report BSS201
McLennan, AJ; McGuire, PJ; Allsopp, PG; Zalucki, MP (BSES, 2002)Rhopaea canegrub (Rhopaea magnicornis Blackburn) is the major insect pest of the New South Wales sugar industry with about 25% of Condong farms affected. Rhopaea has also been reported as a pest in the Broadwater and Nambour ... -
Developing an integrated cropping-systems RD&E program for the sugar industry
Allsopp, PG (2008)Sugarcane trash is used extensively as garden mulch in an industry with a value in excess of $20 million per annum. The incursion of sugarcane smut has complicated the movement of trash by companies that provide sugarcane ... -
Effect of farming practices on canegrub incidence : SRDC final report project BSS166
Allsopp, PG; Sallam, MN; Dall, DJ (BSES, 2002)The impact of farming practices on numbers of Childers canegrubs was determined in southern Queensland by a survey of 441 field-year combinations that related practices to the numbers of second- and third-instar larvae in ... -
Enhancing grower groups in the Australian sugar industry : final report BSS287
Allsopp, PG (2007)Self-directed and self-funded grower groups in other Australian agricultural industries have demonstrated that participative R&D and action-learning processes can deliver knowledge, attitude and practice change at faster ... -
Epidemiology and control of sugarcane mosaic virus in the Isis district : SRC final report UQ3S
Teakle, DS; Taylor, PWJ; Allsopp, PG (BSES, 1992)Objectives: -
Factors influencing populations of Eumargarodes laingi and promargarodes spp. in sugarcane at Bundaberg and derivation of sequential sampling plans
Walker, PW; Allsopp, PG (BSES, 1992)A survey of the margarodids Eumargarodes laingi Jakubski and Promargarodes spp. in sugarcane was carried out at Bundaberg. E. laingi cyst numbers were influenced by soil type; Promargarodes spp. numbers did not differ ... -
Management strategies for rhyparida in southern Queensland : SRDC final report BSS236
Fischer, TWA; Allsopp, PG (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. ... -
Methods for accurate identification of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS97S
Allsopp, PG; Miller, LJ (BSES, 1999)The objectives of the project were; determine morphological characters for accurate identifica6tion of larvae and adults of all species of canegrubs; validate the usefulness of morphological characters through DNA analysis; ... -
Pest risk analysis of sugarcane for the Northern Australia Quarantine Strategy - Quarantine insects
FitzGibbon, F; Allsopp, PG; De Barro, PJ (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 ... -
