Review of the sugarcane industry Biosecurity Plan and development of a grower Biosecurity Manual; final report 2014/088
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
The review of the Biosecurity Plan for the sugarcane industry will comprehensively investigate new and emerging sugarcane pests and diseases, identify biosecurity capacity and guide the implementation of projects that ...
Enhancing sugarcane growth and yield by biocontrol agents and biofertilizers : final report 2014/402
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Australian sugarcane industry is facing significant challenges affecting sugarcane growth. Sugarcane diseases and soil degradation are the two major threats. Many sugarcane diseases are caused by pathogenic fungi and ...
Innovative approaches to identifying the cause of chlorotic streak and new management strategies : final report 2013/357
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Chlorotic streak is one of the major diseases in the Australian sugar industry. The disease occurs in areas of high rainfall and poorly drained fields and is a limitation to productivity, particularly during seasons that ...
Biosecurity manual for sugarcane producers : a guide to farm biosecurity measures to reduce the risks of weeds, pests and diseases impacting production
(Plant Health Australia, 2017)
This manual is designed for use by farmers and their staff, contractors, millers, researchers and consultants working in the sugarcane industry. It shows simple procedures that you can use to minimise the risk of introducing ...
Herbicides and the water quality conundrum
(ASSCT, 2017)
Herbicidal impact on the health of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon came to the forefront in 2009 with the Queensland Government’s Great Barrier Reef Protection Amendment Act 2009 and the concurrent review of diuron by ...
Sugarcane for future climates : final report 2013/029
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Increasing costs of irrigation in irrigated production regions, and seasonal periods of water deficits in
rain-fed production regions are impacting greatly on profitability, sustainability, and expansion of
the Australian ...
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. ...
Advancing yield, disease resistance and ratooning by exploiting new sources of genetic variability from wild relatives of sugarcane : phase 1
(2017)
This project was originally planned and designed for six years to allow collection of data over 2 or 3 ratoon crops. In this first phase of the project, all propagations and trials were well established and good quality ...
Field assessment and further development of high-sucrose sugarcane: final report 2014/069
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Sucrose accumulation is critically important in determining sugarcane productivity. Yet, improvement in sucrose content in sugarcane has been almost stagnant for decades in many sugarcane growing countries, including ...
Developing remote sensing as an industry wide yield forecasting, nitrogen mapping and research aid : Final report 2013/025
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
The science of Earth Observation (EO) is a rapidly developing discipline that has seen an unprecedented rise in remote sensing technologies and application development, including those in agriculture. The Australian sugarcane ...
