Barcoding a tool to assist the industry to manage insect incursions
(ASSCT, 2015)
THE AUSTRALIAN SUGARCANE industry has been fortunate not to have several significant insect pests that exist overseas. Moth borers are a particular concern to the Australian sugar industry due to the heavy losses they cause ...
Factors affecting the distribution of the vine species in sugarcane: results of GIS surveys in Central Queensland
(ASSCT, 2015)
Extracted from the Proceedings of the Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technology, Volume 37, 2015.
Strategies to limit the impact of nematode pressure on sugarcane productivity in the Isis : final report 2013/071
(BSES, 2015)
Two trials were done in this project.
One was a continuation of work started under a previous GRDC/SRDC-funded activity, 'Strategies to improve the integration of legumes into cane based farming systems'. This trial aimed ...
Development of value-added products from sugarcane boiler ash : final report 2011/903
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
Bagasse fly ash from co-generation plants is often recycled into the sugarcane fields. However, bagasse fly ash
contains quartz (naturally accumulated by the cane) that may be re-suspended into respirable-sized
particulate ...
Remote sensing to implement an effective pest management strategy for canegrubs
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
a) Issue:
The greyback canegrub (Dermolepida albohirtum) is the main pest of cane crops in all canegrowing regions from Mossman to Sarina. Infestations by this pest species may cost the industry up to 40 million dollars ...
SaveN Cane : developing selection tools for N-efficient sugarcane
(2015)
This project supports the sugar industry’s intensifying efforts to reduce its nitrogen (N) footprint that is caused by inefficient use of N fertiliser by the crop. The industry aims to minimise N pollution of coastal waters ...
Seed dormancy and establishment: a critical gap in knowledge to support safe deployment of GM
(2015)
The development and adoption of new varieties is a major investment in the Australian sugar industry. There are several modern techniques now being introduced into sugarcane breeding, such as introgression of Erianthus and ...
Faster flowering - new opportunities for genetic improvement: final report 2012/024
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
In sugarcane, flowering is essential to breeding but is not a pre-requisite for commercial production. Consequently, our knowledge of the processes that control flowering lags behind other crops where the seed is the ...
Investigation of lignin biosynthesis in sugarcane for improved lignocellulosic ethanol production: final report 2010/068
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
Second generation bioethanol is a renewable energy resource produced from lignocellulosic biomass with the potential to reduce reliance on oil-based energy. Sugarcane bagasse is an abundant source of lignocellulosic material ...
Implementing a framework for farmers to engage in the use of Precision Technologies : Final report 2012/013
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
This research project's objectives are: Development of PA fundamental training and resources Pilot the delivery of PA training to ensure a consistent and fundamental level of knowledge across agronomist and advisors within ...
