Is magnesium deficiency a causal agent of sugarcane Yellow Canopy Syndrome? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a disorder affecting sugarcane in the Australian industry, the cause of which is unknown. This paper reviews YCS research focusing on magnesium imbalance as a possible cause of the condition. ...
Effect of long-term application of potassium on sugarcane and soil properties in the Herbert River district : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Excess potassium (K) fertiliser use can have a significant effect on sugar quality and refining
costs but offers no benefit to sugarcane crop yield. Potassium fertiliser guidelines are based on
soil texture and two ...
Innovation in disease management; where to next : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
New technologies offer considerable scope for the refinement of disease management in the Australian sugarcane industry. While resistant cultivars, disease-free plant sources, crop termination and quarantine have provided ...
Pachymetra root rot surveys of the Tully district update 2018 : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Pachymetra root rot is a soil-borne disease that impacts all sectors of the Australian sugar
industry. The disease attacks the root system of sugarcane crops, affecting yields and leading
to stool loss and shortened crop ...
Genetic diversity among populations of soldier flies : ASSCT poster paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Soldier flies are a serious pest in several regions of the industry. Because they were often considered
a localised problem, their impact has largely gone unrecognised. However, in recent years there has been a
concerted ...
Does rotating cultivars with intermediate resistance influence pachymetra root rot of sugarcane : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Concerns have been raised by industry members over lower than expected cane yields associated with high oospore levels in sugarcane cultivars rated to have intermediate resistance to pachymetra root rot. This is a significant ...
Optimising spot spraying for controlling Guinea Grass : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Established Guinea grass stools are commonly found in our sugarcane-farming system. No registered herbicides that are both effective on perennial Guinea grass stools and selective to sugarcane are available. Directed-spray ...
Can directed-spray strategies control Guinea Grass stools? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Guinea grass is a troublesome perennial grass in our sugarcane farming system. Despite a range of effective pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicides, optimum spray windows are often missed and established Guinea ...
