Development of controlled release formulations of imidacloprid for canegrub control: final report 2014/006
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Canegrub damage resulting from a variety of scarab species is a major productivity constraint for about 50% of Australian sugarcane farmers. Affected growers are spread across all cane growing districts and across all ...
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 ...
Preparing the Australian sugar industry for exotic disease threats: final report 2009/033
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
Previous field resistance trial data for downy mildew, Ramu stunt and Sesamia grisescens collected in PNG since the mid-1980s were accessed, analysed and information used as a foundation for project field resistance screening ...
A field experiment to evaluate the response of sugarcane varieties to waterlogging
(ASSCT, 2018)
RECENT PRODUCTIVITY REVIEWS in the Herbert and Central regions identified strong
negative correlations between excessive rainfall and productivity. Waterlogging has a
significant effect on sugarcane productivity. It ...
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) recommends that harvesters maintain pour rates of 80-90 t/h,
depending on make and model, and recommends extractor-fan speed guidelines that ensure
minimal cane loss with low extraneous ...
Productivity performance of climatological sub-regions within the Tully Mill area : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Inter-annual climate variability has a significant impact on productivity in the Wet Tropics
region. Climate also varies spatially, yet the impact on productivity is less well known. Two
distinct climatological sub-regions ...
Nitrogen availability from legume and past fertiliser history : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
It is likely that land-based activities within the Australian sugar industry have a negative effect on the quality of water in the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. Improvements to nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) are likely to ...
Efficacy and environmental runoff impact of alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied on trash blanketed ratoons
(ASSCT, 2018)
THE EFFICACY OF alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied just after harvest on green trash blanketed ratoons was investigated in three field trials in the wet tropics, Far North Queensland. The study also ...
Aspects of temporal N management in sugarcane in sub-tropical Queensland : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
The proximity of the Australian sugar industry to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has resulted in ongoing concerns about elevated concentrations of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the near-reef environments due to ...
Spatial distribution of potential soil constraints affecting nitrogen management in the Wet Tropics : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Position in the landscape and climatic conditions experienced during the growing season, especially following the application of nitrogen (N) fertiliser, has important implications for crop growth, N uptake and N losses. ...
