Evaluating commercially available precision weed spraying technology for detecting weeds in sugarcane farming systems
(ASSCT, 2013)
Precision spraying systems which use optical sensing technology to detect green weeds were evaluated for their suitability for use in sugarcane farming systems. The Weedseeker® spraying system was specifically evaluated ...
Strategies to limit the impact of nematode pressure on sugarcane productivity in the Isis : final report 2013/071
(BSES, 2015)
Two trials were done in this project.
One was a continuation of work started under a previous GRDC/SRDC-funded activity, 'Strategies to improve the integration of legumes into cane based farming systems'. This trial aimed ...
Integrated feral pig management for the Herbert cane area
(BSES, 2014)
The damage caused by feral pigs (Sus scrofa) in Wet Tropics cane growing regions can be significant, with losses in cane proceeds exceeding $1M in certain years within the Herbert region. The management of the pest is ...
Does rotating cultivars with intermediate resistance influence pachymetra root rot of sugarcane : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Concerns have been raised by industry members over lower than expected cane yields associated with high oospore levels in sugarcane cultivars rated to have intermediate resistance to pachymetra root rot. This is a significant ...
How do current ratings of sugarcane varieties for resistance to smut relate to natural infection
(ASSCT, 2018)
SUGARCANE SMUT, CAUSED by a fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is an important
disease of sugarcane in Australia. Sugarcane smut can be managed effectively through
the propagation of resistant varieties. In Sugar Research ...
Plant-parasitic and free-living nematodes associated with sugarcane in North Queensland
(ASSCT, 2018)
SURVEYS OF NORTH Queensland sugarcane soils indicated that root-lesion nematode
(Pratylenchus zeae) was the most important nematode pest because it occurred in most
fields and was often present at high population densities. ...
Optimising spot spraying for controlling Guinea Grass : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Established Guinea grass stools are commonly found in our sugarcane-farming system. No registered herbicides that are both effective on perennial Guinea grass stools and selective to sugarcane are available. Directed-spray ...
Can directed-spray strategies control Guinea Grass stools? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Guinea grass is a troublesome perennial grass in our sugarcane farming system. Despite a range of effective pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicides, optimum spray windows are often missed and established Guinea ...
Chlorotic streak resistance screening in the Tully district
(ASSCT, 2016)
CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) was first recognised more than 85 years ago and is
present in most cane-growing countries around the world. An important management
strategy is the use of resistant varieties; past research ...
SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report Herbert cane growers strategic grub management implementing BSES decision making tools
(BSES, 2013)
This project was a continuation of previous SRDC/BSES grub monitoring projects in Mulgrave and Mackay, and aimed to value add the previous findings of the very high importance of thorough grub monitoring Grower involvement ...
