Rapid detection of ratoon stunting disease; final report 2013/001
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
This project's objective was to develop a rapid 'sniff test' to diagnose ratoon stunting disease (RSD) using a new technology called 'Enose' or electronic nose. The aim was to be able to identify contaminated cane within ...
Pachymetra awareness project for Condong Mill area: final report 2012/064
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Objectives: Use innovative approaches to motivate and demonstrate the potential benefits to improve Pachymetra management for farmers. Build capacity in growers to better manage Pachymetra on their farms. . Increase farm, ...
Development of controlled release formulations of imidacloprid for canegrub control: final report 2014/006
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Canegrub damage resulting from a variety of scarab species is a major productivity constraint for about 50% of Australian sugarcane farmers. Affected growers are spread across all cane growing districts and across all ...
Nitrogen accumulation in biomass and its partitioning in sugar cane grown in the Burdekin : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)
Nitrogen is a key component of metabolic processes in plants and due to its mobile nature in
soils is often a limiting factor in achieving maximum yield in commercial sugarcane crops grown in
Australia. Demand for N ...
Effects of pachymetra root rot and nematodes on some elite sugarcane clones in Australia
(ASSCT, 2016)
PACHYMETRA ROOT ROT and nematodes are the two most important soil-borne pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. An experiment was established in Yandaran, Queensland in grey forest soil with high Pachymetra spore counts (>100 ...
Biosecurity Plan for the sugarcane industry : a shared responsibility between government and industry
(Plant Health Australia, 2016)
To ensure its future viability and sustainability, it is vital that the Australian sugarcane industry minimises the risks posed by exotic pests and responds effectively to plant pest threats. The Biosecurity Plan for the ...
Chlorotic streak transmission and crop dynamics research
(ASSCT, 2016)
CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) is transmitted in water, specifically drainage, flood
or irrigation water. Research showed that transmission in water was increased by the
addition of oxytetracyline (Terramycin). A two-hour ...
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 ...
Efficacy of alternative pre-emergent herbicides applied in trash-blanketed ratoons in the Wet Tropics
(ASSCT, 2016)
As a result of continued exceedances in permissible pesticide levels in watercourses, the Australian sugar industry is under considerable environmental scrutiny, which has resulted in the restriction of use of products ...
Maximising genetic gain from family and within family selection : final report 011/343
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
The aim of this project is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of selection in progeny assessment trials (PATs). These improvements will result in increased rates of genetic gain and the release of more productive ...
