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 ... -
Risk to the Australian Sugar Industry from exotic insect pests : Pest Incursion Management Plan version 1
(BSES, 1999)In response to the risk of entry of animal diseases, which could not only affect animal industries but also human health, the AUSTVETPLAN concept was developed and refined over many years. AUSTVETPLAN contains detailed ... -
Development of an Educational Package for Canegrowers on Efficient Nutrient Management : final report BSS204
(1999)The aim of this project was to facilitate responsible nutrient management for the sugar industry by providing extension support in the form of a training course for canegrowers. This educational package will enable growers ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Development of a trash rake : SRDC Final report BS144S
(1999)Objectives of project were: to evaluate the performance of selected commercial rakes under various field conditions; to assess the ratooning vigour of varieties after raking trash from the stool area; to develop an improved ... -
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 ... -
Farm business management for the Queensland Sugar Industry : SRDC Final report BS136S
(1999)The objectives of the project were to: train a core group of sugar industry staff in the principles and skills of FBM; develop appropriate technology for the extension of FBM advice to canefarmers; trial, evaluate and ... -
An assessment of the application of DNA markers to studies of genetic diversity and marker assisted selection in sugarcane : SRDC Final report SD99001
(1999)The project objectives were as follows: -
Technical Report - Evaluation of a Roving Capacitance Probe for Measuring Soil Moisture
(1998)In the Proserpine area of central Queensland, Australia, trials were conducted to evaluate the performance of a proving capacitance probe for determining soil moisture. Soil moisture was monitored using both a neutron ... -
Developing a framework for advancing road transportation of sugarcane : SRDC final report SD98013
(BSES, 1998)An objective of this project was to initiate a research program for the road transportation of sugarcane. Future research projects will be undertaken with the knowledge and cooperation of key parties and therefore have ... -
Key factors in control of Greyback Canegrub populations : SRDC final report BS120S
(BSES, 1998)Greyback canegrub outbreaks with severe losses in sugar production have persisted for more than six years in the Burdekin district, but population densities of the pest have declined at locations in the Herbert Valley, ... -
Factors affecting the incidence of and damage caused by weevil borers : SRDC final report BS151S
(BSES, 1998)This study has shown that sampling billets for weevil borer damage through the extraneous matter system of a sugar mill gives reliable data as it supports in field data collected by BSES. These data may allow the simple ... -
An automated cane billet sampler for research trials : SRDC final report BS118S
(1998)The Australian sugar industry invests millions of dollars annually on sugarcane breeding programs and associated research. Improved selection efficiency as a result of more accurate estimates of commercial cane sugar (ccs) ... -
Management strategies for drip irrigation systems in sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS64S
(1998)Two drip irrigation trials were conducted on clay (krasnozem) and sandy loam (gley podzolic) soils to investigate the optimum positioning of drip irrigation tape for effective irrigation on contrasting soil types. Further ... -
Farming systems for green cane trash blankets in cool wet conditions : SRDC final report BS63S
(1998)The three year project to evaluate different farming systems for green cane trash blanketing in cool wet conditions was directed at; evaluating the effect of different trash management practices on crop growth; evaluating ... -
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. ... -
