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 ... -
Sugarcane smut yield-loss estimates - eastern Australia 2006 : Responses to questions raised by the consultative committee on emergency plant pests
(BSES, 2006)This document has been prepared by BSES scientists with extensive experience with sugarcane smut. It is based on our reviews of published literature and first-hand experience with smut in the Ord River Irrigation area and ... -
Sugarcane streak mosaic; researching a relatively new disease in Indonesia
(ASSCT, 2018)SUGARCANE STREAK MOSAIC occurs in the south and south-east Asia regions and was first identified in Indonesia in 2005. Its relatively recent recognition means that much remains to be learnt about this viral disease. ... -
Sugarcane-orientated quarantine training program : SRDC final report BSS274
(BSES, 2005)This project continues the industry's commitment to sugarcane biosecurity, and is a further forward step extending the substantial knowledge developed in previous projects. The project was developed after the completion ... -
Summary of effectiveness of Lambda-cyhalothrin for control of sugarcane stemborers; preparedness for borer incursion
(BSES, 2002)Following a search of the literature, lambda-cyhalothrin (Karate 2.5EC) was identified as a potential candidate insecticide for emergency use in Australia following an incursion of a stemborer.Lambda-cyhalothrin is a stomach ... -
Support for an ARC project to investigate genetic diversity of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli , causa organism of ratoon stunting disease : SRDC final report BSS239
(BSES, 2004)The primary aim of this research was to genetically characterise populations of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx), causal agent of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane.A collection of 108 isolates of Lxx collected ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Technical assessment of survival of smut spores in bales of sugarcane trash
(BSES, 2008)This assessment considers the survival of smut spores in relation to the proposal to store baled trash until there was a low risk of viable spores being present. -
The bacterial biocontrol agent pasteuria penetrans can help control root-knot nematode on sugarcane
(ASSCT, 2018)ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE (Meloidogyne javanica) is one of the most damaging pests of sugarcane, often causing heavy losses in coarse-textured sandy soils. The bacterial parasite Pasteuria penetrans is a potentially useful ... -
The effect of sugarcane rust (Puccinia melanocephala) on yield
(BSES, 1985)This report details the results obtained from two trials to assess yeild loss caused by sugarcane rust and also outlines the epiphytotiology of the rust disease. -
The evaluation of rope-wick application of glyphosate as a method of chemical weed control in some typical farm locations
(BSES, 1984)The effectiveness of rope-wick application of glyphosate (as Roundup) in controlling the common reed Phragmites australis in the Moreton and Rocky Point areas has fostered interest in this method of chemical weed control ... -
The management of rodents in North Queensland canefields
(BSES, 1993)Rodent damage to sugarcane has been of concern to the Australian sugar industry since the 1930's. In more recent times, annual surveys have indicated that damage by rodents occurs over approximately 50% (150 000 ha) of ... -
The Mantis - developing an innovative, high flotation, affordable high rise spray unit: final report 2013/070
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)Weed control on the steep slopes of Innisfail is difficult with current machinery. Top heavy, clutch driven highrise sprayers are unable to operate under these conditions resulting in poor weed management strategies for ... -
The production and evaluation of gene probes for diagnosis of sugarcane mosaic virus and Fiji disease virus (Final report SRDC Project BS10S)
(BSES, 1991)Specific and sensitive cDNA probes have been developed for detection of both FDV and SCMV in diseased sugarcane plants. Results from glasshouse evaluation indicate that FDV probes are not sensitive enough to be used for ... -
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. ... -
The use of aggregation pheromones for the management of weevil borers in cane fields
(BSES, 2000)Pheromone mass trapping of adult sugarcane weevil borer, Rhabdoscelus obscurus, was conducted during February-June 1999 in far-north Queensland using a combination of rhynchophorol/octanol, ethyl acetate and pieces of split ... -
