Genotype X environment interaction and selection of sugarcane families for the Burdekin River irrigation area : SRDC final report BS57S
(1995)The arable lands being developed for sugarcane production in the Burdekin River Irrigation Area (BRIA) are on markedly different soil types and, as a consequence, may present environmental challenges different to those ... -
Seasonal distribution of growth and sugar accumulation in sugarcane : SRDC project BS5S Final report
(1995)At existing levels of cane yield, an extra unit of sugar content during May, June and July represented 47 6000 tonnes of sugar worth $13.3m at 1987 prices when this project was initiated. The situation now, with annual ... -
Economic analysis of RSD control strategies : final report SRDC project BS101S
(BSES, 1995)The aim of this study was to compare the economics of the existing RSD control strategy in Australia of disease-free seed and disinfecting harvesters with breeding cultivars resistant to RSD. Analysis presented in this ... -
The production of transgenic sugarcane plants : SRDC final report BS44S
(1994)Transgenic sugarcane plants, which expressed the coat protein of SCMV at a very low level, were produced by micoprojectile bombardment of sugarcane meristems. Transgenic plants expressing the luciferase (Luc) and B-glucuronidase ... -
Optimising rejection of dirt by cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS26S
(1994)Project objectives were -
Development of criteria for draining shallow watertables in the Isis irrigation area
(1993)This project was proposed to the Sugar Research Council because qualitative data suggested a significant problem with waterlogging and salinity in hydromorphic sedimentary soils in the Bundaberg to Maryborough region. ... -
Inheritance of resistance to pachymetra root rot : SRDC final report BS27S
(BSES, 1994)Genetical resistance to root pathogens is a sensible strategy for disease control in a perennial crop such as sugarcane. Pachymetra root rot is a serious disease in Queensland and can cause losses of 30-40% in susceptible ... -
Inheritance of Fiji disease resistance
(BSES, 1981)Various projects have been conducted in recent years to study the inheritance of resistance to Fiji disease. In this report the results of these studies are presented and the implications for the plant breeding programme ... -
The promotion and delay of flowering
(1979)Several aspects of promoted flowering and delayed flowering were examined in small experiments at Meringa. These have application in the controlled flowering of parent varieties to facilitate a greater range of parent ... -
Research Seminar, Bundaberg 2 March 1988
(2012)Fourth seminar held in Bundaberg focussing on southern canegrowers district. Topics cover research, research funding and extension. -
A method for the rapid identification of ratoon stunting disease in sugar cane
(BSES, 1977)Work with the electron microscope established a slender coryneform - type bacterium is constantly present in the sap of known ratoon stunting diseased plants and is absent from healthy plants. Purpose of project was to ... -
Development of a fungicide spray schedule to determine the effect of sugarcane rust (Puccinia melanocephala) on yield
(BSES, 1984)This study reports on work carried out to develop a fungicide spray program which is suitable for yield loss assessment investigations. Aspects examined include the efficacy of various concentrations of chlorothalonil and ... -
Biomass accumulation in sugarcane : final report 79/9028
(1984)Growth analysis experiments were conducted at Ayr and Bundaberg from 1979 to 1982 to study biomass accumulation in plant and ratoon crops of sugarcane. Crops were planted and ratooned in March, June, September and December, ... -
Acquisition of Fiji disease virus by Perkinsiella saccharicida kirk and observations on its instars
(BSES, 1984)The first, second and third instars of Perkinsiella saccharicida were the only stages which transmitted Fiji disease virus to healthy Q70 plants after a 48 hour access feed on diseased plants. A key to distinguish the ... -
Development of a biological control against sugarcane poor root syndrome
(BSES, 1987)The overall objective of the project was to search for and develop an economically effective biocontrol against sugarcane poor root syndrome (PRS). The disease was known to be caused by two pathogenic fungi: Pythium ... -
Bioassay for comparing levels of pythium graminicola in soils
(BSES, 1987)In the study of any soil borne pathogen it is essential to have some technique for determining the level of the pathogen in the soil. The levels of Pythium species in soil have been measured by soil dilution plating on ... -
The contribution of mechanical cane harvesting to the productivity plateau
(1992)The invention of mechanical cane harvesters has been important in the development of the Australian sugar industry. Mechanisation of the harvest has brought many benefits. However associated with mechanical cane harvesting ...
