East Timor rice fields - rat control training program
(BSES, 2001)The objective of this mission was to rapidly facilitate changes in farm practices that will minimise crop losses due to rodents in East Timor. Five 3 day workshops were conducted across East Timor and included participants ... -
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 ... -
Effect of farming practices on canegrub incidence : SRDC final report project BSS166
(BSES, 2002)The impact of farming practices on numbers of Childers canegrubs was determined in southern Queensland by a survey of 441 field-year combinations that related practices to the numbers of second- and third-instar larvae in ... -
Effect of funnel ants on eleven commercial clones of sugarcane at Tully
(BSES, 1996)Funnel ant activity was independent of cane clone, suggesting that there is no resistance to funnel ants in the commercial clones tested. The clones Q107 and Q117 performed poorly in the presence of funnel ants, a phenomenon ... -
Effects of natural enemies on soldier fly (Inopus rubriceps) populations in Queensland
(BSES, 1983)A study was initiated in 1981 to determine the role of natural enemies of soldier fly in south east Queensland. The objective of this work was to gain an understanding of soldier fly population dynamics in its native ... -
Effects of pachymetra root rot and nematodes on some elite sugarcane clones in Australia
(ASSCT, 2016)PACHYMETRA ROOT ROT and nematodes are the two most important soil-borne pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. An experiment was established in Yandaran, Queensland in grey forest soil with high Pachymetra spore counts (>100 ... -
Efficacy and environmental runoff impact of alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied on trash blanketed ratoons
(ASSCT, 2018)The efficacy of alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied just after harvest on green trash blanketed ratoons was investigated in three field trials in the wet tropics, Far North Queensland. The study also ... -
Efficacy of alternative pre-emergent herbicides applied in trash-blanketed ratoons in the Wet Tropics
(ASSCT, 2016)As a result of continued exceedances in permissible pesticide levels in watercourses, the Australian sugar industry is under considerable environmental scrutiny, which has resulted in the restriction of use of products ... -
Enhanced adoption of integrated pest management in sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS225
(BSES, 2002)The project focused on changing the way BSES engages clients in dealing with pest management issues, using the concept of participatory action-learning. Thirty-two small groups of canegrowers were formed around eight pest ... -
Enhancement of the sensitivity of gene probes for viral diseases of sugarcane by the polymerase chain reaction : SRDC final report BS48S
(BSES, 1994)The sensivity of gene probes for two important viral pathogens of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Fiji disease virus (FDV), has been significantly enhanced by a version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ... -
Enhancement potential of 'Ethokem' in control of the common reed (Phragmites australis) using glyphosate
(BSES, 1991)A significant, positive response trend to the addition of the adjuvant Ethokem to Roundup has demonstrated the potential for this additive to enhance herbicidal activity when applied to control the common reed, Phragmites ... -
Enhancing resistance to yellow spot disease": SRDC final project report BSS245
(BSES, 2003)Yellow spot is a leaf disease caused by the fungus Mycovellosiella koepkei. Although known in Queensland since 1950, some facets of the disease have never been adequately researched. Yellow spot principally, but not ... -
Enhancing sugarcane growth and yield by biocontrol agents and biofertilizers : final report 2014/402
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Australian sugarcane industry is facing significant challenges affecting sugarcane growth. Sugarcane diseases and soil degradation are the two major threats. Many sugarcane diseases are caused by pathogenic fungi and ... -
Environmental factors affecting Adelina in the Burdekin region : final report CE004
(BSES, 2003)The project aimed to determine why the canegrub pathogen Adelina does not infect a significant proportion of the canegrub population in the Burdekin Delta area. It examined the effect of physical characteristics of soil ... -
Epidemiology and control of sugarcane mosaic virus in the Isis district : SRC final report UQ3S
(BSES, 1992)Objectives: -
Epidemiology studies into sugarcane smut : SRDC final report BSS302
(BSES, 2010)The objective of this project was to: Optimise industry transition from susceptible to resistant commercial varieties, with minimal losses resulting from direct or in-direct crop effects, thus maximising industry profitability. -
Estimating disease-associated yield losses in breeding selection trials - Endemic diseases; Pachymetra root rot, orange rust and yellow spot
(BSES, 2007)Previous work has shown that plant improvement stage 3 selection trials can be used to assess the relationship between yield and disease resistance with particular Queensland endemic diseases - principally Pachymetra root ... -
Evaluating commercially available precision weed spraying technology for detecting weeds in sugarcane farming systems
(ASSCT, 2013)Precision spraying systems which use optical sensing technology to detect green weeds were evaluated for their suitability for use in sugarcane farming systems. The Weedseeker® spraying system was specifically evaluated ... -
Expanded registration for Metarhizium strains against canegrubs : SRDC final project report BSS246
(BSES, 2002)Eight fungicides and three liquid insecticides are registered in Queensland for application to sugarcane at planting, and these may come into contact with Metarhizium during application from cane planters. Seven of the ... -
Factors affecting the distribution of the vine species in sugarcane: results of GIS surveys in Central Queensland
