Soil constraints to productivity improvement
(1990)
Yields of most crops are known to decrease if that crop is grown continuously without fallowing or rotation with other crop species. Sugarcane has been grown continuously on many fields in Queensland for 50-100 years. ...
Survey of sugarcane in eastern Australia for sugarcane smut : SRDC final report BSS230
(BSES, 2000)
Sugarcane smut is a serious disease of sugarcane that can cause yield losses in excess of 30% in susceptible varieties. The disease was found for the first time in Australia on the 21 July 1998 in the Ord River Irrigation ...
Effects of pachymetra root rot and nematodes on some elite sugarcane clones in Australia
(ASSCT, 2016)
PACHYMETRA ROOT ROT and nematodes are the two most important soil-borne pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. An experiment was established in Yandaran, Queensland in grey forest soil with high Pachymetra spore counts (>100 ...
A review of yield losses caused by Australian and selected exotic sugarcane diseases : SRDC final report BS1725
(BSES, 1996)
Yield loss studies of Australian endemic diseases, and those exotic diseases posing the greatest threat to production in Australia, are reviewed. There is a need for much research particularly in relating disease intensity ...
BS172S Pathogen Risk Analysis to Prioritise Research and Quarantine Needs of the Australian Sugar Industry. A Review of Sugarcane Diseases of Quarantine Risk to the Australian Sugar Industry, 1997
(BSES, 1997)
The major diseases of economic importance to sugarcane have been identified and their quarantine risk for Australia has been reviewed. Twelve high to moderate risk quarantinable diseases were identified. Sugarcane smut ...
Pest risk analysis of sugarcane for the Northern Australia Quarantine Strategy
(BSES, 1997)
The purpose of this pest risk analysis (PRA) is firstly to identify quarantine pests and pathogens which pose a threat to sugarcane, which may enter Australia through its northern borders into the area covered by the AQIS ...
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 ...
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
(1991)
Evidence from investigations into fumigation, fungicide application, fallowing and growth of sugarcane on recently cultivated soils strongly suggests that yields in established cane growing areas are being restricted by ...
