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 ...
Review of nitrogen fertiliser research in the Australian sugar industry
(2004)
The management of nitrogen (N) fertiliser is important to the Australian sugar industry, as it is an important nutrient for sugarcane production. However, over application results in reduced profitability and sugar quality, ...
Management of furrow irrigation to improve water use efficiency and sustain the groundwater resource
(2004)
The Burdekin Delta region depends on groundwater for irrigation and urban supply. Therefore, any adverse impacts on the groundwater resource are undesirable. Field studies were implemented to improve knowledge and ...
Screening of Australian germplasm for resistance to sugarcane smut - SRDC final project report BSS214
(BSES, 2004)
Sugarcane smut is a destructive disease that has spread to all commercial sugarcane production areas except Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the east coast of Australia. The disease was recorded for the first time in Australia ...
Support for an ARC project to investigate genetic diversity of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli , causa organism of ratoon stunting disease : SRDC final report BSS239
(BSES, 2004)
The primary aim of this research was to genetically characterise populations of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx), causal agent of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane.A collection of 108 isolates of Lxx collected ...
Cane fibre yields : final report PR04011
(BSES, 2004)
This report was prepared for the New South Wales sugar industry to provide an estimate of the additional cane-based fuel available for the proposed cogeneration project. It summarises the work done to date in NSW, as well ...
Identification of canegrub-resistant transgenic sugarcane lines for commercial evaluation : SRDC final report BSS237
(2004)
This project aimed to progress canegrub-resistant transgenic sugarcane to recommendations for field testing by negotiating IP and research agreements to allow commercial release of transgenic plants, determining the ...
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, ...
Introgression of new genes from Saccharum officinarum
(SRDC, 2004)
Modern sugarcane cultivars are derived from two main ancestral species: Saccharum officinarum, which is the main source of high sucrose levels, and S. spontaneum. Only a small number of clones of either species have ever ...
