East Timor rice fields - rat control training program
(BSES, 2001)
The objective of this mission was to rapidly facilitate changes in farm practices that will minimise crop losses due to rodents in East Timor. Five 3 day workshops were conducted across East Timor and included participants ...
BSS249 : Preparedness for borer incursion : Summary of effectiveness of Tebufenozide for control of sugarcane stemborers
(BSES, 2001)
Following a search of the literature and discussions with entomologists in Papua New Guinea and Louisiana, tebufenozide (Mimic?, Confirm? or RH-5992) was identified as a potential highly useful candidate insecticide for ...
Development of a method to aid decision making on herbicide use for Australian Canegrowers : SRDC final report BSS186
(BSES, 2001)
This project successfully met its objectives. It demonstrated the strong competition effect weed growth has on the yield of sugarcane, developed a robust protocol for the rapid assessment of cane variety reaction to ...
Improving technical communication within the sugar industry; Development of a best practice resource package for greyback canegrub : SRDC final report BSS233
(BSES, 2001)
Following a workshop in 1999 involving industry representatives, commercial bodies, and information technologists the objectives of a CD-ROM on canegrub best practice management were determined. The CD-ROM was to be the ...
Integrated pest management of soldier fly : SRDC final report BSS160
(BSES, 2001)
Soldier flies are a serious soil-dwelling pest of cane, and there is no insecticidal control available. In large-plot trials, numbers of soldier fly larvae in plant and first ratoon crops were lower after a long fallow, ...
Development of DNA based diagnostic systems for sugarcane pathogens : SRDC final report UQ024
(BSES, 2001)
This project developed diagnostic assays for sugarcane pathogens using novel DNA detection technologies associated with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The bacterium Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli (Cxx) causing ratoon ...
Overcoming constraints to high yield and CCS in large and lodged cane crops
(2001)
Past research indicates that large sugarcane crops (that usually also happen to be lodged) experience a slowdown in growth during winter, well before harvest (Muchow et al. 1996). The project examined factors affecting the ...
Perfect markers for sugarcane mapping
(2001)
Sugarcane is a complex aneuploid, polyploid, interspecific hybrid. Most breeding traits are complex and molecular markers associated with these traits are a tool that may assist breeders to more efficiently identify sugarcane ...
Australian component Genetic diversity within Sugarcane yellow leaf virus : ICSB final report 99-15
(2001)
Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) is widespread in many sugarcane growing countries of the world. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of genomic variation in SCYLV isolates from various countries. Isolates ...
Optimisation of experimental design and analysis for variety trials to maximise genetic gain : SRDC final report UQ023
(2001)
The analysis of field experimental data usually assumes independent observations. This method is often inappropriate if the data contain strong spatial trends. Methods of analysis (commonly used in cereal trials) which ...
