Incidence and economic effects of ratoon stunting disease on the Queensland sugarcane industry : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) has had a significant influence on productivity and profitability in the Australian sugarcane industry for at least the last 76 years. There have been few attempts to objectively quantify ... -
Increasing productivity and profitablity in soldierfly-affected crops in the Pioneer Valley : SRDC Grower Group innovation project
(BSES, 2008)The aim of our project is to find a way to reduce the effect soldier fly has on a sugar cane crop and to reduce soldier fly numbers. On farm trials are being conducted after consulting entomologists that have experience ... -
Inheritance of Fiji disease resistance
(BSES, 1981)Various projects have been conducted in recent years to study the inheritance of resistance to Fiji disease. In this report the results of these studies are presented and the implications for the plant breeding programme ... -
Inheritance of resistance to pachymetra root rot : SRDC final report BS27S
(BSES, 1994)Genetical resistance to root pathogens is a sensible strategy for disease control in a perennial crop such as sugarcane. Pachymetra root rot is a serious disease in Queensland and can cause losses of 30-40% in susceptible ... -
Innovation in disease management; where to next : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)New technologies offer considerable scope for the refinement of disease management in the Australian sugarcane industry. While resistant cultivars, disease-free plant sources, crop termination and quarantine have provided ... -
Innovative approaches to identifying the cause of chlorotic streak and new management strategies : final report 2013/357
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Chlorotic streak is one of the major diseases in the Australian sugar industry. The disease occurs in areas of high rainfall and poorly drained fields and is a limitation to productivity, particularly during seasons that ... -
Inspection of Torres Strait Islands for pests and diseases of sugarcane
(BSES, 1996)This visit between 1-4 July 1996 proved most useful in assessing the pest and disease status of the Torres Strait islands. Significantly there were first records of schlorotic streak, Ramu streak, Sesamia borer, and hybrid ... -
Integrated disease management of sugarcane streak mosaic in Indonesia : final report 2012/083

Integrated feral pig management for the Herbert cane area
(BSES, 2014)The damage caused by feral pigs (Sus scrofa) in Wet Tropics cane growing regions can be significant, with losses in cane proceeds exceeding $1M in certain years within the Herbert region. The management of the pest is ... -
Integrated pest management of soldier fly : SRDC final report BSS160
(BSES, 2001)Soldier flies are a serious soil-dwelling pest of cane, and there is no insecticidal control available. In large-plot trials, numbers of soldier fly larvae in plant and first ratoon crops were lower after a long fallow, ... -
