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 ... -
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 ... -
Agile Wallaby management on the Barron River Delta cane farms
(BSES, 2008)Macropus agilus This report outlines the outcomes of a project funded by the Sugar Research and Development Corporation which provided a grant to the Barron River delta Grower Group to undertake the project, “Development ... -
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 ... -
An integrated approach to nutgrass control : SRDC final report NFS002
(BSES, 2011)This project aimed to formulate and promote an integrated approach to nutgrass control in sugarcane cropping systems. The project was a Grower Group Research Project undertaken from July 2007 to June 2010 by the NSW Farming ... -
An integrated approach to nutgrass control : SRDC final report NFS002
(BSES, 2010)This project aimed to formulate and promote an integrated approach to nutgrass control in sugarcane cropping systems. The project was a Grower Group Research Project undertaken from July 2007 to June 2010 by the NSW ... -
An integrated pest management approach for the control of sugarcane weevil borer, Rhabdoscelus obscurus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(BSES, 2000)Treatments with Regent alone and in combination with pheromone trapping of sugarcane weevil borers were assessed in field trials in the Mulgrave area. Results suggest that the combination of insecticidal treatment with ... -
An integrated pest management strategy for climbing rat in the far-north Queensland sugarcane production system : SRDC final report QUT003
(BSES, 2008)Two species of rodents (Rattus sordidus and Melomys burtoni) are currently the most significant vertebrate pests in the Queensland sugar industry. Comprehensive management plans exist for Rattus sordidus, but Melomys burtoni ... -
Assessing the impact that pathogen variation has on the sugarcane breeding program : SRDC final report BSS258
(BSES, 2005)In recent years, two fungal diseases of sugarcane have had a huge impact on the Australian sugar industry and the BSES CSIRO breeding and pathology programs. Sugarcane smut, caused by Ustilago scitaminea, first appeared ... -
Assessment of aromatic compounds as strategic lures in a canegrub control program : SRDC final report BS34S
(BSES, 1991)Anethole, n-butyric acid, citral, citronellal, eucalyptus oil, eugenol, geraniol, hexanoic acid, hexan-1-ol, 3-hexen-1-ol, 1-nonanol, pentanoic acid, phenol, sorbic acid and the standard Trece Japanese beetle floral lure ... -
Assessment of the potential of sex pheromones as strategic lures for the control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS17S
(BSES, 1991)Sex pheromones were shown to be emitted by females of Antitrogus consanguineus, A. parvulus and L. picticollis. Attraction of males of L. picticollis to females of A. consanguineus shows that the compound or compounds ... -
Assessment of various food constituents as feeding attractants for canegrubs in a pest control program : SRDC final report BS35S
(BSES, 1991)Cellulose acetate filter disks were used to evaluate sugars, amino acids and ascorbic acid as feeding stimulants for canegrubs. Fourteen sugars, 18 amino acids and ascorbic acid were tested with third instars of Antitrogus ... -
Australian Sugar Industry Training – Development of factory training modules – Phase 2
(2022-05-04)The Australian Sugar Industry Training Learning Management System (ASIT LMS) provides a valuable training resource for the Australian Sugar Industry. As a single location for the milling training programs that have been ... -
Barcoding a tool to assist the industry to manage insect incursions
(ASSCT, 2015)THE AUSTRALIAN SUGARCANE industry has been fortunate not to have several significant insect pests that exist overseas. Moth borers are a particular concern to the Australian sugar industry due to the heavy losses they cause ... -
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 ... -
Biological factors driving YCS
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) was first observed in 2012 in the Central and Northern cane-growing regions in Australia and has since spread much further south. The 2015 season is particularly bad in the Mackay and Proserpine ... -
