Utilising available technology to better manage yield variability within blocks : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)
The specific aim of this project was to gain information on the different layers of information collected at a block level to allow site specific crop management. The Blackburn Brothers have also investigated the farm ...
APSIM based determination of irrigation attributes and best use of limited water in supplementary irrigation areas of the Australian sugar industry
(2000)
The current industry focus on improving irrigation efficiency has identified the need for a better understanding of the potential gains from irrigation and use of irrigation resources in many sugar producing regions. This ...
BSS249 : Preparedness for borer incursion : Summary of effectiveness of Tebufenozide for control of sugarcane stemborers
(BSES, 2001)
Following a search of the literature and discussions with entomologists in Papua New Guinea and Louisiana, tebufenozide (Mimic?, Confirm? or RH-5992) was identified as a potential highly useful candidate insecticide for ...
The use of aggregation pheromones for the management of weevil borers in cane fields
(BSES, 2000)

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. ...
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 ...
