Constituents of non-sugar products of sugarcane : SRDC final report BS85S
(BSES, 1993)Residues of selected pesticides were measured in samples of bagasse, filter mud and molasses from six sugar mills, in samples of dunder from two distilleries, and in cane tops and soil from four canegrowing areas of ... -
Calibration of a density meter : final report PR92005
(BSES, 1992)The Australian Sugar Milling Council (ASMC), as part of its continuing investigation into precision density meters, purchased an EXAC Model 8300EX 12A mass flow meter with density measuring capabilities. This instrument ... -
Study tour to New Zealand, control measures for canegrubs : Final report SRD06001
(BSES, 2006)Kerry Nutt and Rachael Fox visited researchers at HortResearch (Auckland and Palmerston North), Crop & Food and AgResearch (Lincoln). The CRCSIIB 1Bii project group currently uses the avidin transgene with the PPI vacuolar ... -
Herbicide phytotoxicity screening Central; Southern Queensland varieties 1989 season
(1990)This report summarised the results of the three sugarcane phytotoxicity trials conducted on the Sugar Experiment Station, Bundaberg during 1989. Twelve approved, or promising varieties, from the central and southern districts ... -
Herbicide efficacy screen North Queensland 1986 season
(BSES, 1987)In 1984 a wide range of herbicide treatments were evaluated against a number of weed species. Results demonstrated the weakness and strengths of various products, and the optimum timing of application. To further improve ... -
Inspection of Torres Strait Islands for pests and diseases of sugarcane
(BSES, 1996)This visit between 1-4 July 1996 proved most useful in assessing the pest and disease status of the Torres Strait islands. Significantly there were first records of schlorotic streak, Ramu streak, Sesamia borer, and hybrid ... -
Power factor correction : North Eton mill 1979

Project No 2025: Final report bench testing of new nitrogen products for potential ammonia volatilisation: when boradcast onto soil or sugarcane trash (N-gold "A", N-gold "B")
(1996)N-Gold "A" and N-Gold "B" are granulated products containing urea and calcium oxide with 42.4 and 43.2 % N and 1.5 and 1.3 % Ca respectively. When broadcast onto soil or a green cane trash blanket, ammonia volatilisation ... -
Progress report on BSES and WRC studies of water quality in Woongarra-Pemberton area - July 1981
(1981)This report summarizes results of a pot trial comparing bore and surface water; co-operative monitoring of water-table levels with the Water Resources Commission; field trials with various ameliorants; and a field survey ... -
Enhancement of the sensitivity of gene probes for viral diseases of sugarcane by the polymerase chain reaction : SRDC final report BS48S
(BSES, 1994)The sensivity of gene probes for two important viral pathogens of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Fiji disease virus (FDV), has been significantly enhanced by a version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ... -
Investigation of the limits to high density planting : SRDC Final report BSS212
(2002)Plant-density trials were successful in demonstrating the effect of row spacing and withinrow plant spacing on cane yield. Increasing plant density resulted in an increase in cane yield and stalk numbers at harvest. Cane ... -
Comparison of 'into' and 'beside' stool nitrogen placement
(1992)There are now two alternative methods of subsurface nitrogen placement available: beside the stool or into the stool. The second, into the stool treatment, is easier to accomplish. Comparison of cane yields from strips ... -
The effect of harvester settings on cane loss and subsequent ratoon cane yield
(1992)This replicated trial at Tully showed that harvester settings (basecutter height, forward speed, and direction of travel in relation to crop lodging) can significantly influence the amount of cane left in the paddock after ... -
The effect of two different Toft basecutters on ratoon yield
(1992)The visual appearance of the cane stubble remaining after harvesting with the Toft angled underslung basecutter usually fitted to 7000 series harvesters is different to that remaining after harvesting with the horizontal ... -
The effect of coulter ripping on GCTB ratoons at Hawkins Creek
(1992)In some parts of north Queensland coulter ripping is a standard operation carried out in green cane trash blanketed ratoons. Very little ripping is carried out in the Herbert Valley, even though the soil in old ratoons ... -
Alternative symphyla control measures and their effect on plant cane establishment
(BSES, 1992)In some areas of the Herbert Valley, the 'root-pitting' damage caused by symphyla to young cane roots is severe enough to produce noticeable reductions in growth and emergence of young plant cane. Chlorpyrifos at 2 1/ha ...
