Environmental factors affecting Adelina in the Burdekin region : final report CE004
(BSES, 2003)
The project aimed to determine why the canegrub pathogen Adelina does not infect a significant proportion of the canegrub population in the Burdekin Delta area. It examined the effect of physical characteristics of soil ...
Preparedness for borer incursion : SRDC final report BSS249
(BSES, 2003)
Moth borers are the most devastating pests of graminaceous plants, including sugarcane, in the world. Australia is so far free of all the major borer species, but several species occur in countries close to Australia, ...
Characterisation and maintenance of the Australian sugarcane mapping populations
(BSES, 2003)
There were two major aims to this project. The first was to identify markers linked to major diseases of sugarcane that were difficult and expensive to select for. The second objective was to determine the cross-transferability ...
A survey of roller train; chopper optimisation in the Burdekin district
(2003)
This survey was designed to assess the service provided for implementing Roller-Train Chopper Optimisation (RTCO) in the Burdekin and the RTCO product itself. The survey was carried out to assess the future potential of ...
Provision of improved varieties and pathology services for the Ord Sugar Industry : final report CTA043
(2003)
This project was established to introduce and evaluate new sugarcane varieties into the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA), and to provide advice on pathology issues relating to the ORIA. Cultivars in the ORIA currently are ...
The transfer of high CCS traits from wild relatives to sugarcane using biochemical markers
(2003)
Over the last 40 years of sugarcane breeding in Australia there have been significant improvements in cane yield but little to no improvement in commercial cane sugar (CCS). It has been hypothesised that this lack of gain ...
Improving CCS in the wet tropics via block-specific monitoring of nitrogen in cane delivered to the mill : final report CTA045
(SRDC, 2003)
This project seeks to implement a scheme for monitoring the nitrogen status of
all cane crops in a wet tropics mill district and aims to work with growers in the
use of this information to improve CCS and reduce the ...
Knowledge of sugarcane physiology and climate-crop-soil interactions : SRDC final report
(2003)
Compared to other crops, knowledge of growth mechanisms in sugarcane is inadequate. The question arises as to how much longer can we continue to prosper from sugarcane if knowledge of the growth processes on which our ...
Functional genomics for enhanced sugar accumulation in sugarcane : final report CPI002
(2003)
Improvement in CCS of sugarcane would provide considerable benefits to the whole sugar industry by improving profitability via enhanced efficiencies in both sugarcane and raw sugar production. Improvements in CCS bring ...
Environmental stimuli for sugarcane suckering in the wet tropics : SRDC final report BSS221
(2003)
The northern section of the industry has been in crisis for most of the years in the decade up to 2002 because of declining CCS. This decline has been due to increased extraneous matter levels due largely to increased ...
