Studies on the biology of negatoria and childers Canegrubs as a basis for development of improved controls : SRDC final report BS77S
(BSES, 1998)The biology of the two most important species of canegrubs affecting sugarcane in southern Queensland. Childers canegrub (Antirogus parvulus Britton) and negatoria canegrub (Lepidiota negatoria Blackburn) was studied ... -
Maintaining access to foreign germplasm by developing methods to detect unidentified viruses in sugarcane in quarantine : SRDC final report BS116S
(1998)Four types of gneeric tests for detecting unidentified viruses in plants were trialed for their suitability for sugarcane. The tests were; double stranded RNA (dsRNA) analysis, sap inoculation of indicator plants, sap ... -
Promotion of integrated pest management in sugarcane: Final report BS184
(1998)Associate Professor and agricultural science writer Lisa Halvorsen was invited to work with the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations for five months. Her aim was to help develop effective communications strategies for ... -
Genotype X environment interaction for clones and crosses planted in Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales : SRDC final report BS15S
(1997)The main aims of this project were to assess whether original seedling families produced for south Queensland would be suitable for the New South Wales sugar industry and to determine whether clones selected at the Bundaberg ... -
Enhanced Productivity Information to Improve Extension Programs and Research Data : final report BS128S
(1997)A project was undertaken to extend previously available productivity software tools. Using the end product of a previous project as a prototype, a new application was recreated in a different programming language. The ... -
Increased adoption of efficient sustainable irrigation practices by Australian canegrowers : SRDC Final report BS127S
(1997)SRDC funded the three-year project 'Increased Adoption of Efficient, Sustainable Irrigation Practices by Australian Canegrowers in July 1994. The broad objectives of the project were to; Determine perceived limits to ... -
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 ... -
Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) host-pathogen relationships in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS99S
(BSES, 1997)Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli (Cxx) is a gram +, fastidious, slow growing bacterium that causes ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane. Because of its fastidious nature, slow growth, and poor symptom expression, it has ... -
Rationalising insecticide use in the control of wireworms : SRDC final report BS102S
(BSES, 1997)This project aimed to develop a method to detect wireworms in pre-plant fallows, thus allowing rational decisions to be made on whether or not to use insecticide for wireworm control at planting. Insecticide would be used ... -
Optimum time of harvest for high early sugar varieties : SRDC Final report BS705
(1997)To assess the optimum time of harvest for high early ccs varieties, two experiments were conducted on the BSES Experiment Station at Bundaberg between 1993 and 1996. The first experiment included eight varieties selected ... -
Brix determination in first expressed juice by mass flow meter : SRDC final report SD97011
(BSES, 1997)A series of trials have been carried out to evaluate the performance of a Micro Motion CMF025 mass flow meter in place of the standard hydrometer for brix measurement in cane pay analyses. Tests were conducted at ten sugar ... -
Field Evaluation of Aggregation Pheromones for Mass-Trapping of Cane Weevil Borer
(BSES, 1997)Sugarcane weevil borer, Rhobdoscelus obscurus (Boisduval) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Rhynchophorinae), is native to Papua New Guinea, but was accidentally introduced to Queensland, Hawaii and Fiji with imported sugarcane ... -
Increasing irrigation efficiencies in the Australian Sugar Industry : Final report BSE2
(1997)Over 20 furrow irrigation sites on the Burdekin Delata were monitored by sugarcane growers for water use through the 1995/96 and 1996/97 seasons. Irrigation efficiencies varied from less than 20% to nearly 70%. Demonstration ... -
