Strategic tillage to reduce soil structural degradation : SRDC final project report BSS143
(2004)
The project was undertaken to assess the benefits of zonal tillage, where only the crop row is cultivated and the compacted inter-row is left as a permanent traffic zone.Focus groups of growers were convened to discuss ...
Final report on SRDC project CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S): The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity
(1999)
When the current project was initiated, poor root growth and activity were widely believed to be a major constraint to sugarcane productivity. However, there was no technology available to assess whether or not root growth ...
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
(1990)
Yields of most crops are known to decrease if that crop is grown continuously without fallowing or rotation with other crop species. Sugarcane has been grown continuously on many fields in Queensland for 50-100 years. ...
Integrated disease management of sugarcane streak mosaic in Indonesia : final report 2012/083
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), 2019)
Sugarcane streak mosaic (SCSM) caused by sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) is a
relatively recently recognised disease of sugarcane that is now widespread through S.E.
Asia and widely infecting commercial crops, both ...
Securing Australia from PNG biosecurity threats : final report 2015/046
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is the centre of diversity for several Saccharum species (S. officinarum, S. edule, S robustum) and supports indigenous pests and diseases of sugarcane. These threaten Australian commercial sugarcane ...
Molecular assay of major soilborne sugarcane pathogens for better exploitation of commercial varieties : final report 2016/047
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
A commercial assay service, based on specific DNA tests for soil-borne pathogens, has been developed for various cropping industries by the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), Adelaide. A unique ...
Prospects for a genetic solution to the management of ratoon stunting disease : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)
Ratoon stunting disease (RSD,) caused by a bacterium (Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli), is one of the most important diseases of sugarcane in Australia. RSD is an inconspicuous and highly infectious disease and can spread ...
Estimating disease-associated yield losses in breeding selection trials - Endemic diseases; Pachymetra root rot, orange rust and yellow spot
(BSES, 2007)
Previous work has shown that plant improvement stage 3 selection trials can be used to assess the relationship between yield and disease resistance with particular Queensland endemic diseases - principally Pachymetra root ...
Review of the green grassy shoot disease (GGSD) situation in Nghe An Province
(BSES, 2008)
Green grassy shoot disease (GGSD) has been rapidly escalating. Without further research and extension assistance, GGSD has great potential to cripple production in Vietnam. The visit has provided a great deal of new ...
Inspection of Torres Strait Islands for pests and diseases of sugarcane
(BSES, 1996)
This visit between 1-4 July 1996 proved most useful in assessing the pest and disease status of the Torres Strait islands. Significantly there were first records of schlorotic streak, Ramu streak, Sesamia borer, and hybrid ...
