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 ...
Management strategies for rhyparida in southern Queensland : SRDC final report BSS236
(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. ...
Enhancing resistance to yellow spot disease": SRDC final project report BSS245
(BSES, 2003)
Yellow spot is a leaf disease caused by the fungus Mycovellosiella koepkei. Although known in Queensland since 1950, some facets of the disease have never been adequately researched. Yellow spot principally, but not ...
Canegrub resistant plants containing antimetabolic compounds : SRDC final report BSS163
(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 ...
Implementation of management strategies for control of sugarcane weevil borer in far north Queensland : SRDC final report BSS224
(BSES, 2002)
Sugarcane weevil borers are an introduced pest of sugarcane from New Guinea. They cause significant losses to ccs and may contribute to production of poor quality sugar crystals. The adoption of pre-harvest burning of ...
Environmental factors affecting Adelina in the Burdekin region : final report CE004
(BSES, 2003)
The project aimed to determine why the canegrub pathogen Adelina does not infect a significant proportion of the canegrub population in the Burdekin Delta area. It examined the effect of physical characteristics of soil ...
Support for an ARC project to investigate genetic diversity of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli , causa organism of ratoon stunting disease : SRDC final report BSS239
(BSES, 2004)
The primary aim of this research was to genetically characterise populations of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx), causal agent of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane.A collection of 108 isolates of Lxx collected ...
Management of greyback canegrub in sugarcane; from research to practice : SRDC Final Project Report BSS223
(BSES, 2002)
This project was designed to involve and educate growers and advisory staff of the long-term benefits and increased profitability of greyback canegrub IPM systems. The project facilitated the adoption of IPM principles ...
Increasing productivity and profitablity in soldierfly-affected crops in the Pioneer Valley : SRDC Grower Group innovation project
(BSES, 2008)
The aim of our project is to find a way to reduce the effect soldier fly has on a sugar cane crop and to reduce soldier fly numbers. On farm trials are being conducted after consulting entomologists that have experience ...
