Productivity performance of climatological sub-regions within the Tully Mill area : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Inter-annual climate variability has a significant impact on productivity in the Wet Tropics
region. Climate also varies spatially, yet the impact on productivity is less well known. Two
distinct climatological sub-regions ...
Pachymetra root rot surveys of the Tully district update 2018 : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Pachymetra root rot is a soil-borne disease that impacts all sectors of the Australian sugar
industry. The disease attacks the root system of sugarcane crops, affecting yields and leading
to stool loss and shortened crop ...
Factors affecting the incidence of and damage caused by weevil borers : SRDC final report BS151S
(BSES, 1998)
This study has shown that sampling billets for weevil borer damage through the
extraneous matter system of a sugar mill gives reliable data as it supports in field data
collected by BSES. These data may allow the simple ...
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 ...
A database of pest and disease incidence for the sugar industry : SRDC final report BS126S
(BSES, 1999)
This project established a system to collate, store and interrogate pest and disease data
that are collected annually by Queensland Cane Protection and Productivity Boards
(CPPBs). An Access database titled ‘Bugbuster’ ...
Field performance of transgenic sugarcane plants carrying genes for resistance to SCMV : final report BSS154
(2000)
The field resistance of transgenic sugarcane plants to sugarcane mosaic potyvirus was successfully demonstrated, and a number of transgenic lines are available for consideration for agronomic evaluation. Some of the ...
Best linear unbiased prediction as a method for predicting cross potential : SRDC final report BS119S
(1999)
Until recently, BSES breeders used an empirical formula to assess the breeding potential of a parent (Hogarth and Skinner, 1986). Although this method uses data from many sources, it needs to draw on data accumulated for ...
Development and application of spatial analysis to improve precision in selection trials : SRDC final report BSS231
(2004)
In the early stages of selection, a sugarcane breeder tests a large number of genotypes. As the amount of planting material for each genotype for testing is typically limited, selections are usually made on small, ...
Evaluation of methods of estimating breeding value of sugarcane parental clones : SRDC final report BS75S
(1996)
BSES uses an empirically based index to assess the breeding potential of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) parents and this may take many years to provide reliable estimates. A rapid and efficient method of assessing the breeding ...
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)
Production peaked in the Herbert River mills in 2005 but since then productivity has declined. Analysis of mill data in the Herbert has successfully identified groups of farms with similar productivity over time and the ...
