Biosecurity research in PNG 2015-2017
(ASSCT, 2018)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA is the centre of diversity for several species in the genus Saccharum, including S. officinarum, selections of which constituted the first commercial sugarcane varieties in Australia. Apart from providing ...
Efficacy and environmental runoff impact of alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied on trash blanketed ratoons
(ASSCT, 2018)
The efficacy of alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied just after harvest on green trash blanketed ratoons was investigated in three field trials in the wet tropics, Far North Queensland. The study also ...
Sugarcane streak mosaic; researching a relatively new disease in Indonesia
(ASSCT, 2018)
SUGARCANE STREAK MOSAIC occurs in the south and south-east Asia regions and was
first identified in Indonesia in 2005. Its relatively recent recognition means that much
remains to be learnt about this viral disease. ...
The bacterial biocontrol agent pasteuria penetrans can help control root-knot nematode on sugarcane
(ASSCT, 2018)
ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE (Meloidogyne javanica) is one of the most damaging pests of
sugarcane, often causing heavy losses in coarse-textured sandy soils. The bacterial
parasite Pasteuria penetrans is a potentially useful ...
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. ...
Reviewing and extending knowledge of fibre quality assessment within the SRA breeding program to develop optimally adapted varieties for the Australian sugar industry
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
This project aimed to improve knowledge of the significance of fibre quality measurement data to improve its value for variety selection and to provide guidance on further research work to utilise fibre quality requirements ...
SUMO wrestling - understanding the molecular basis of drought tolerance in sugarcane : final report 2017/401
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
We report here that neither the plant growth hormone gibberellin (GA) signalling, nor SUMOylation post-translational mechanism, a well-known phenomenon triggered by several abiotic stresses, are involved in water stress-induced ...
Sugarcane root systems for increased productivity; development and application of a root health assay : final report 2015/002
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
A better understanding of the sugarcane root system has the potential to improve productivity and overcome soil constraints. By adapting the digital methods that have been developed in other crops, we have developed a ...
Measuring the profitability and environmental implications when growers transition to best management practices : final report 2014/015
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
The development of sugarcane Best Management Practices (BMPs) aims to improve the
productivity, profitability and sustainability of sugarcane farms. However, there has been limited
research that has examined both the ...
