Management strategies for rhyparida in southern Queensland : SRDC final report BSS236
(BSES, 2002)Larvae of rhyparida beetles bore into the bases of newly ratooning shoots, causing dead hearts. Very minor damage will kill 'surplus' shoots. More intense damage appears to set plant growth back and cause some yield loss. ... -
Managing the plant protection aspects of the canelands rural/urban interface
(BSES, 1997)Australia is a highly urbanised country with an ever-increasing urban population. As the cities expand, they continue to encroach upon areas of rural land use. The result is a constantly moving interface between urban and ... -
Maximising the resistance of sugarcane to soldier fly : SRDC final report BS61S
(BSES, 1996)Infestations of soldier fly (Inopus spp.) cause losses to sugarcane in areas from Innisfail to New South Wales. Cane losses attributable to soldier fly in Queensland in 1995 were estimated at 24 000 t, and the annual ... -
Measuring the susceptibility of Canegrubs to chlorpyrifos insecticide : SRDC final report BS49S
(BSES, 1997)Keith Chandler developed a bioassay system more efficient than any used previously, and used it to measure the susceptibility of 10 canegrub species to chlorpyrifos. The data were reviewed for evidence of resistance. The ... -
Methods for accurate identification of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS97S
(BSES, 1999)The objectives of the project were; determine morphological characters for accurate identifica6tion of larvae and adults of all species of canegrubs; validate the usefulness of morphological characters through DNA analysis; ... -

(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)A commercial assay service, based on specific DNA tests for soil-borne pathogens, has been developed for various cropping industries by the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), Adelaide. A unique ... -
Mulgrave cane growers strategic grub management; implementing BSES decision-making tools : SRDC Grower Group innovation project
(BSES, 2010)This project was a continuation of previous SRDC/BSES GrubPlan projects in which the importance of a thorough grub monitoring program was highlighted. Essentially, the need for more grower involvement led to the creation ... -
Optimising spot spraying for controlling Guinea Grass : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Established Guinea grass stools are commonly found in our sugarcane-farming system. No registered herbicides that are both effective on perennial Guinea grass stools and selective to sugarcane are available. Directed-spray ... -
Optimum canegrub management within new sustainable cropping systems : SRDC final report BSS266
(BSES, 2010)This project addressed the issue of canegrub management in new farming systems. Many cane growers are adopting or planning to adopt one or more components of 'new farming systems' - legume rotations, reduced tillage and ... -
Overseas sugarcane quarantine and emergency response planning : SRDC final report BSS280
(BSES, 2005)The aim of this trip was for Dr Mohamed Sallam, BSES entomologist, to gain experience in sugarcane biosecurity and to learn about sugarcane pest and disease problems in the United States. In addition Dr Sallam participated ... -
