Rhopaea Canegrub - Assessment of Pest Status and an RD&E program for improved Management in the Tweed Valley
(BSES, 1996)
I visited the Tweed Valley area to assess the pest status of rhopaea canegrub, diagnose reasons for grower dissatisfaction with present control options, and, with affected growers and technical staff to develop a research, ...
Maximising the resistance of sugarcane to soldier fly : SRDC final report BS61S
(BSES, 1996)
Infestations of soldier fly (Inopus spp.) cause losses to sugarcane in areas from Innisfail to
New South Wales. Cane losses attributable to soldier fly in Queensland in 1995 were
estimated at 24 000 t, and the annual ...
Optimum family felection for net merit grade : stage 2 trials BS45S
(1996)
Mass selection of individuals in seedling or early clonal stage trials is routinely used in most sugarcane improvement programs throughout the world. It is, however, inefficient as the Heritability of cane yield on a ...
Selection of a non-sugarcane gene for control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS95S
(1996)
Four types of non-sugarcane genes were investigation for potential toxictiy to canegrubs. They were: toxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt); plant proteinase inhibitors; plant lectins; and avidin. Each of ...
Identification of unknown root pathogens responsible for sugarcane yield decline : SRDC final report BS73S
(BSES, 1996)
Sugarcane yield decline (YD) is characterised by poor root development ( a lack of fine root growth, root discolouration) and poor root health. Previous YD research implicated the involvement of unrecognised pathogens in ...
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 cane harvester extractor performance : SRDC Final report BS65S
(1996)
The three year project to optimise cane harvester extractor peformance was directed into three separate areas - evaluation of existing commercial or semi commercial cleaning system -development of an extractor hood design ...
Increased productivity through better design and management of irrigated canefields : SRDC Final report BS90S
(1996)
This project has obtained, for the first time, data on the performance and efficiency of furrow irrigated canefields. In particular, it has shown the water application efficiencies on high infiltration soils it is generally ...
Improving the ratooning ability of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS100S
(1996)
Good ratooning cultivars has attributes of rapdi canopy development, associated with early development of adequate stalk numbers, for increased interception of light in early growth, an stability of harvested stalk weight ...
