An assessment of the application of DNA markers to studies of genetic diversity and marker assisted selection in sugarcane : SRDC Final report SD99001
Carroll, B; McIntyre, L; Berding, N (1999)The project objectives were as follows: -
Building strategic research capacity for the sugar industry aimed at overcoming physiological, biochemical and environmental constraints to cane growth, breeding and sucrose yield
Grof, C; Campbell, J (1999)Using the CSIRO Controlled Environment Facility, the discrete effects on the rate and extent of sucrose accumulation in sugarcane of four significant environmental parameters (daily light integral, radiation levels, ... -
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
Inman-Bamber, NG; Robertson, MJ; Muchow, RC; Wood, AW (1999)Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ... -
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production; optimising the use of limited water under supplementary irrigation
Inman-Bamber, NG; Robertson, MJ; Muchow, RC; Wood, AW; Wegener, MK; Spillman, MF (2000)About 60% of sugar produced in Australia depends on irrigation. In some regions, production would be impossible without irrigation; in others, irrigation is used to supplement rainfall. It can improve production and reduce ... -
Evaluating the potential for improved sugar yields by assessing the climatic and soil constraints to production in southern cane-growing districts
Muchow, RC; Hughes, RM; Horan, HL (1999)This project conducted strategic research to better understand the processes of yield accumulation in low temperature NSW environments and to identify limits to yield. The fundamental knowledge gained in this project can ... -
Map-based chromosome and trait tagging in sugarcane using cytological and RFLP markers
McIntyre, L (1999)Sugarcane is a complex aneuploid, polyploid, interspecific hybrid. At the time that this project began, molecular mapping in sugarcane was in its infancy and was only being attempted in interspecific crosses or within the ... -
Monitoring cane at the mill to improve nitrogen management on the farm, a pilot study : final report CSC21A
Keating, B (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 ...
