Rationalising insecticide use in the control of wireworms : SRDC final report BS102S
(BSES, 1997)
This project aimed to develop a method to detect wireworms in pre-plant fallows, thus allowing rational decisions to be made on whether or not to use insecticide for wireworm control at planting. Insecticide would be used ...
Epidemiology and control of sugarcane mosaic virus in the Isis district : SRC final report UQ3S
(BSES, 1992)
Objectives:
Maximising the resistance of sugarcane to soldier fly : SRDC final report BS61S
(BSES, 1996)
Infestations of soldier fly (Inopus spp.) cause losses to sugarcane in areas from Innisfail to
New South Wales. Cane losses attributable to soldier fly in Queensland in 1995 were
estimated at 24 000 t, and the annual ...
Survey of sugarcane in eastern Australia for sugarcane smut : SRDC final report BSS230
(BSES, 1999)
Objectives of project are to: conduct specific smut surveys to determine whether sugarcane smut is present in eastern Australia. Through publicity campaigns encourage cane farmers to inspect their farms for smut. Collate ...
Enhancement of the sensitivity of gene probes for viral diseases of sugarcane by the polymerase chain reaction : SRDC final report BS48S
(BSES, 1994)
The sensivity of gene probes for two important viral pathogens of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Fiji disease virus (FDV), has been significantly enhanced by a version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ...
Factors affecting the incidence of and damage caused by weevil borers : SRDC final report BS151S
(BSES, 1998)
This study has shown that sampling billets for weevil borer damage through the
extraneous matter system of a sugar mill gives reliable data as it supports in field data
collected by BSES. These data may allow the simple ...
Control of soldier fly with controlled-release insecticides : final report CO95011
(BSES, 1995)
The activity of controlled-release granules against soldier fly larvae was evaluated in laboratory bioassays. Five different active ingredients were tested in a range of granule sizes. The product selected as the most ...
Managing the plant protection aspects of the canelands rural/urban interface
(BSES, 1997)
Australia is a highly urbanised country with an ever-increasing urban population. As the cities expand, they continue to encroach upon areas of rural land use. The result is a constantly moving interface between urban and ...
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 ...
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.
