Effects of pachymetra root rot and nematodes on some elite sugarcane clones in Australia
(ASSCT, 2016)
PACHYMETRA ROOT ROT and nematodes are the two most important soil-borne pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. An experiment was established in Yandaran, Queensland in grey forest soil with high Pachymetra spore counts (>100 ...
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 ...
Does rotating cultivars with intermediate resistance influence pachymetra root rot of sugarcane : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Concerns have been raised by industry members over lower than expected cane yields associated with high oospore levels in sugarcane cultivars rated to have intermediate resistance to pachymetra root rot. This is a significant ...
Developing cytogenetic and molecular tools to improve selection for soil-borne pathogen resistance in wild hybrids : final report 2013/358
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
In Australia, sugarcane has been grown for more than 100 years now as a monoculture
without much fallow cropping. Consequently, the heavily cultivated areas had no chance
to reduce the levels of soil-borne pathogens. ...
Exploiting Erianthus diversity to enhance sugarcane cultivars : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Introgression of Erianthus arundinaceus into the SRA sugarcane-breeding program has been a goal for researchers for many years. The Erianthus genome was finally accessible to sugarcane breeders with the identification in ...
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 ...
