Field Experiments to Optimise Lures for Mass-Trapping of Cane Weevil Borer
(BSES, 1998)
Cane weevil borer, Rhobdoscelus obscurus (Biosduval) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Rhynchophorinae), is an introduced pest of sugarcane in Queensland, Hawaii and Fiji. It was accidentally introduced from Papua New Guinea ...
Studies on the biology of negatoria and childers Canegrubs as a basis for development of improved controls : SRDC final report BS77S
(BSES, 1998)
The biology of the two most important species of canegrubs affecting sugarcane in southern Queensland. Childers canegrub (Antirogus parvulus Britton) and negatoria canegrub (Lepidiota negatoria Blackburn) was studied ...
Pest risk analysis of sugarcane for the Northern Australia Quarantine Strategy - Quarantine insects
(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 ...
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 ...
Farming systems for green cane trash blankets in cool wet conditions : SRDC final report BS63S
(1998)
The three year project to evaluate different farming systems for green cane trash blanketing in cool wet conditions was directed at; evaluating the effect of different trash management practices on crop growth; evaluating ...
Study of the sugar and fuel alcohol markets in Brazil : SRDC final report
(SRDC, 1998)
This is a study of the world's largest sugar producer, Brazil. Its purpose is to describe the highly
complex recent trends in sugar policies, investment and exports, and in the innovative fuel
alcohol program. And, it ...
The role of Pythium species in yield decline in Southern cane growing districts : SRDC final report BS80S
(BSES, 1998)
Yield decline has been demonstrated in all established canegrowing regions of Queensland. Field and glasshouse studies with soil fumigants have shown that yield decline is largely caused by soilborne biological factors. ...
An automated cane billet sampler for research trials : SRDC final report BS118S
(1998)
The Australian sugar industry invests millions of dollars annually on sugarcane breeding programs and associated research. Improved selection efficiency as a result of more accurate estimates of commercial cane sugar (ccs) ...
Construction of synthetic Fiji virus resistance genes for use in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS86S
(1998)
Fiji disease of sugarcane, caused by Fiji disease fijivirus (FDV), is one of the most important diseases affecting sugarcane in Australia. FDV is a member of the reovirus family and has a multipartite genome consisting ...
Optimal plot size and replication for testing clones in early stages of selection : SRDC final report CSR017
(1998)
The aim of CSRO 17 was to identifY optimal plot design, replication and selection criteria for testing and selecting clones in small plots in early stages of selection in sugarcane breeding programs. Problems associated ...
