Evaluating the potential for improved sugar yields by assessing the climatic and soil constraints to production in southern cane-growing districts
(1999)
This project conducted strategic research to better understand the processes of yield accumulation in low temperature NSW environments and to identify limits to yield. The fundamental knowledge gained in this project can ...
SRDC Final Report - Project BS142S: Economic cost of soil compaction
(1999)
Objectives of this project were: Adapt a Scandinavian model to determine the effect of soil compaction on crop yield for the Australian sugar industry; Relate crop response to degree of compactness by examining current and ...
Final report on SRDC project CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S): The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity
(1999)
When the current project was initiated, poor root growth and activity were widely believed to be a major constraint to sugarcane productivity. However, there was no technology available to assess whether or not root growth ...
Identification of acid sulfate soils using a field peroxide pH test
(1999)
This science project was conducted as part of Year 12 Chemistry to provide an assessment of the presence of acid sulfate soils on an Ingham property. The results will determine the extent of acid sulfate soil existence ...
Proving a natural gamma ray soil monitor in sugar mill application : SRDC final project BS177S
(BSES, 1999)
A commercially available instrument for measurement of soil in cane supplied to mills has
been successfully commissioned at Tully Sugar Limited and is being used for cane
payment and by mill personnel as an alarm for ...
Reducing the risk of exotic pests and diseases of sugarcane : final report BS194S
(1999)
'Reducing the risk of Exotic Pests and Diseases in Cane' was a project aimed at maximising the effectiveness of the Australian sugarcane industry's quarantine system. The main objective of the project was to complete an ...
Methods for accurate identification of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS97S
(BSES, 1999)
The objectives of the project were; determine morphological characters for accurate identifica6tion of larvae and adults of all species of canegrubs; validate the usefulness of morphological characters through DNA analysis; ...
Identification of resistance mechanisms in sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra : SRDC final report BS79S
(BSES, 1999)
Project objectives- Develop techniques for studying the biochemical reactions of sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical mechanisms of infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical changes produced in ...
Risk to the Australian Sugar Industry from exotic pests : SRDC final report BSS175
(BSES, 1999)
This project aimed to develop a pest risk analysis on likely sugarcane pest introductions and pest incursion management plan. Assessments in the risk analysis detail the likely sources of introduction and the best strategies ...
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 ...
