Survey of sugarcane in eastern Australia for sugarcane smut : SRDC final report BSS230
(BSES, 1999)
Objectives of project are to: conduct specific smut surveys to determine whether sugarcane smut is present in eastern Australia. Through publicity campaigns encourage cane farmers to inspect their farms for smut. Collate ...
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 ...
How do current ratings of sugarcane varieties for resistance to smut relate to natural infection
(ASSCT, 2018)
SUGARCANE SMUT, CAUSED by a fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is an important
disease of sugarcane in Australia. Sugarcane smut can be managed effectively through
the propagation of resistant varieties. In Sugar Research ...
Inheritance of resistance to pachymetra root rot : SRDC final report BS27S
(BSES, 1994)
Genetical resistance to root pathogens is a sensible strategy for disease control in a perennial crop such as sugarcane. Pachymetra root rot is a serious disease in Queensland and can cause losses of 30-40% in susceptible ...
Whole-farm planning for management of varieties to maximise productivity and reduce losses from diseases : SRDC final report BSS294
(2009)
The appropriate selection of sugarcane varieties is critical for maximising profitability and sustainability for both growers and millers in the Australian sugarcane industry. Growers are faced with many complex decisions ...
Reducing the Australian sugar industry's genetic vulnerability to sugarcane smut : SRDC final report BSS256
(2007)
Sugarcane smut was recorded for the first time in Australia in July 1998 in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) and was identified in the Bundaberg/Isis, Central and Herbert regions of Queensland in 2006. Sugarcane smut ...
AGR2008150 : Provision of research and development services for the Ord Sugarcane project
(2009)
BSES has provided the research and extension services to the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) sugar industry under a cooperative agreement with the WA Dept of Agriculture and Food since 2003. This contract was terminated ...
The role of Pythium species in yield decline in Southern cane growing districts : SRDC final report BS80S
(BSES, 1998)
Yield decline has been demonstrated in all established canegrowing regions of Queensland. Field and glasshouse studies with soil fumigants have shown that yield decline is largely caused by soilborne biological factors. ...
Literature review of methods of improving the germination of sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS208
(2000)
Sugarcane is propagated from vegetative cuttings of the stalk (setts or billets). The cuttings can be planted by hand or through mechanical whole-stalk or billet planters. Billet planters have given variable results ...
New germplasm to develop more productive varieties with enhanced resistance to nematodes, pachymetra root rot and smut : final report 2011/344
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Sugarcane industries around the world were transformed in the early 1900s when Dutch plant breeders working in Indonesia, and Indian breeders, working independently, developed sugarcane varieties derived from the wild ...
