Canegrub resistant plants containing antimetabolic compounds : SRDC final report BSS163
(BSES, 2000)
Transgenic sugarcane plants engineered to express either the potato proteinase inhibitor II or the snowdrop lectin gene show increased antibiosis to larvae of Antitrogus consanguineus in pot-based glasshouse trials.Canegrubs ...
Chlorotic streak disease of sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS243
(BSES, 2002)
Chlorotic streak is a disease recognised since 1929 and is widespread through the cane growing countries of the world. Despite considerable research, particularly in the 1940-1970 period, the causal agent of the disease ...
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production; optimising the use of limited water under supplementary irrigation
(2000)
About 60% of sugar produced in Australia depends on irrigation. In some regions, production would be impossible without irrigation; in others, irrigation is used to supplement rainfall. It can improve production and reduce ...
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 ...
Chicory herbicide trial : final report 2212
(BSES, 2002)
Chicory is currently a commercially cultivated root crop mainly grown in Belgium. Small areas of Chicory for Whitlof production are grown in Australia mainly in the state of Victoria. The objective of this project was ...
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 ...
Monitoring cane at the mill to improve nitrogen management on the farm : final report CTA029
(SRDC, 2002)
The project originally had a third objective, namely to “Develop promising leads in
rapid and cost effective analyses of N compounds in the mill juice stream to a
“proof-of-concept” stage.” Instrumentation issues and ...
Optimisation of nutrient management of the Queensland sugar industry : SRDC final report BSS176
(2002)
This project, BSS176, set out to give the sugar industry an indication of how bringing nitrogen rates back to within BSES recommended levels would not only save production costs, but also improve ccs, thus improving ...
Statewide adoption of best irrigation practices for supplementary and full irrigation districts : SRDC Final report BS183S
(2000)
Project BS183S has researched and identified a number of means by which on-farm water use efficiency may be improved. These include the use of irrigation scheduling devices, improved furrow irrigation design and management, ...
Quantifying the socio-economic impacts of harvesting residue retention systems : SRDC Final report BSS173
(2002)
BSS173: 'Quantifying the socio-economic impacts of harvesting residue retention systems' is a project jointly funded by the Sugar Research and Development Corporation and Land and Water Australia (formally Land and Water ...
