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
(ASSCT, 2015)Extracted from the Proceedings of the Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technology, Volume 37, 2015. -
Factors affecting the incidence of and damage caused by weevil borers : SRDC final report BS151S
(BSES, 1998)This study has shown that sampling billets for weevil borer damage through the extraneous matter system of a sugar mill gives reliable data as it supports in field data collected by BSES. These data may allow the simple ... -
Factors influencing populations of Eumargarodes laingi and promargarodes spp. in sugarcane at Bundaberg and derivation of sequential sampling plans
(BSES, 1992)A survey of the margarodids Eumargarodes laingi Jakubski and Promargarodes spp. in sugarcane was carried out at Bundaberg. E. laingi cyst numbers were influenced by soil type; Promargarodes spp. numbers did not differ ... -
Farming systems that optimise the control of greyback canegrubs by BioCane� : SRDC final report BSS226
(BSES, 2002)The carry-over of BioCane from one crop to the next is likely to be affected by soil cultivation during seedbed preparation. Metarhizium spores were concentrated in the rows in ratoon crops, either as spores surviving ... -
Feasibility of acoustic detection of canegrubs for better management decisions : SRDC final report BSS300
(BSES, 2007)Monitoring of pest populations is a key to effective management of insects in many crops, allowing pest-control treatments to be applied when needed, and only when needed. Monitoring should be relied on more for management ... -
Field Evaluation of Aggregation Pheromones for Mass-Trapping of Cane Weevil Borer
(BSES, 1997)Sugarcane weevil borer, Rhobdoscelus obscurus (Boisduval) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Rhynchophorinae), is native to Papua New Guinea, but was accidentally introduced to Queensland, Hawaii and Fiji with imported sugarcane ... -
Field Experiments to Optimise Lures for Mass-Trapping of Cane Weevil Borer
(BSES, 1998)Cane weevil borer, Rhobdoscelus obscurus (Biosduval) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Rhynchophorinae), is an introduced pest of sugarcane in Queensland, Hawaii and Fiji. It was accidentally introduced from Papua New Guinea ... -
Field ready, optimised precision weed identification sensor system : final report 2015/055
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)This project aimed to integrate machine vision-based weed discrimination algorithms with commercial spray control systems from a spray equipment manufacturer, to develop a field-ready, optimised, precision weed detection ... -
Further characterisation of pathogenicity genes from Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli, causal organism of ratoon stunting disease : SRDC final project report BSS203
(BSES, 2002)In a previous SRDC/CRCTPP/BSES-funded project, a gene from the sugarcane pathogen Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx) was tagged by transposon mutagenesis, cloned and sequenced, and, based on DNA homology searches, was found ... -
Genetic diversity among populations of soldier flies : ASSCT poster paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Soldier flies are a serious pest in several regions of the industry. Because they were often considered a localised problem, their impact has largely gone unrecognised. However, in recent years there has been a concerted ... -
Giving it our best shot in the war against soldier flies - future research directions : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)Soldier flies are economically damaging pests of sugarcane, particularly in central and southern Queensland. Despite decades of research on soldier fly control, the search for an effective management approach, except for ...
