Pachymetra root rot surveys of the Tully district update 2018 : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Pachymetra root rot is a soil-borne disease that impacts all sectors of the Australian sugar industry. The disease attacks the root system of sugarcane crops, affecting yields and leading to stool loss and shortened crop ... -
Pest risk analysis of sugarcane for the Northern Australia Quarantine Strategy
(BSES, 1997)The purpose of this pest risk analysis (PRA) is firstly to identify quarantine pests and pathogens which pose a threat to sugarcane, which may enter Australia through its northern borders into the area covered by the AQIS ... -
Pest risk analysis of sugarcane for the Northern Australia Quarantine Strategy - Quarantine insects
(BSES, 1998)The purpose of this pest risk analysis (PRA) is, firstly to identify quarantine pests and pathogens which pose a threat to sugarcane, which may enter Australia through its northern borders into the area covered by AQIS ... -
Plant resistance to canegrubs : SRDC final report BSS132
(BSES, 2002)The project sought to determine the range and types of resistances to feeding by canegrubs in sugarcane clones and their wild relatives. Resistance was tested in both pot trials and field trials and the importance of ... -
Plant-parasitic and free-living nematodes associated with sugarcane in North Queensland
(ASSCT, 2018)SURVEYS OF NORTH Queensland sugarcane soils indicated that root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus zeae) was the most important nematode pest because it occurred in most fields and was often present at high population densities. ... -
Population dynamics of Inopus rubriceps in sugarcane fields with emphasis on bionomic factors assisting pest management (Final report SRDC Project BS11S)
(BSES, 1991)Restrictions were placed on the use of dieldrin in 1987 and its registration for use in the sugar industry lapsed in mid-1991. As no other insecticide is presently available to replace dieldrin, there is an urgent need ... -
Preparedness for borer incursion : SRDC final report BSS249
(BSES, 2003)Moth borers are the most devastating pests of graminaceous plants, including sugarcane, in the world. Australia is so far free of all the major borer species, but several species occur in countries close to Australia, ... -
Preparing the Australian sugar industry for exotic disease threats: final report 2009/033
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)Previous field resistance trial data for downy mildew, Ramu stunt and Sesamia grisescens collected in PNG since the mid-1980s were accessed, analysed and information used as a foundation for project field resistance screening ... -
Rapid detection of ratoon stunting disease; final report 2013/001
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)This project's objective was to develop a rapid 'sniff test' to diagnose ratoon stunting disease (RSD) using a new technology called 'Enose' or electronic nose. The aim was to be able to identify contaminated cane within ... -
Rationalising insecticide use in the control of wireworms : SRDC final report BS102S
(BSES, 1997)This project aimed to develop a method to detect wireworms in pre-plant fallows, thus allowing rational decisions to be made on whether or not to use insecticide for wireworm control at planting. Insecticide would be used ... -
Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) host-pathogen relationships in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS99S
(BSES, 1997)Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli (Cxx) is a gram +, fastidious, slow growing bacterium that causes ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane. Because of its fastidious nature, slow growth, and poor symptom expression, it has ... -
