Developing an alternative herbicide management strategy to replace PSII herbicides in the Wet Tropics area : final report 2014/050
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
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 ...
Impact of nutgrass on sugarcane yield
(BSES, 2011)
Research carried out in Mackay over 2009-2010 in plant cane confirmed the impact of nutgrass competition on sugarcane yield and profitability. Trials were conducted on both dryland and irrigated sites, with similar yield ...

(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 ...
Herbicides and the water quality conundrum
(ASSCT, 2017)
Herbicidal impact on the health of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon came to the forefront in 2009 with the Queensland Government’s Great Barrier Reef Protection Amendment Act 2009 and the concurrent review of diuron by ...
Factors affecting the distribution of the vine species in sugarcane: results of GIS surveys in Central Queensland
(ASSCT, 2015)
Extracted from the Proceedings of the Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technology, Volume 37, 2015.
Evaluating commercially available precision weed spraying technology for detecting weeds in sugarcane farming systems
(ASSCT, 2013)
Precision spraying systems which use optical sensing technology to detect green weeds were evaluated for their suitability for use in sugarcane farming systems. The Weedseeker® spraying system was specifically evaluated ...
Optimising spot spraying for controlling Guinea Grass : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Established Guinea grass stools are commonly found in our sugarcane-farming system. No registered herbicides that are both effective on perennial Guinea grass stools and selective to sugarcane are available. Directed-spray ...
Can directed-spray strategies control Guinea Grass stools? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Guinea grass is a troublesome perennial grass in our sugarcane farming system. Despite a range of effective pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicides, optimum spray windows are often missed and established Guinea ...
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 ...
