Can directed-spray strategies control Guinea Grass stools? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Guinea grass is a troublesome perennial grass in our sugarcane farming system. Despite a range of effective pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicides, optimum spray windows are often missed and established Guinea ... -
Canegrub resistant plants containing antimetabolic compounds : SRDC final report BSS163
(BSES, 2000)Transgenic sugarcane plants engineered to express either the potato proteinase inhibitor II or the snowdrop lectin gene show increased antibiosis to larvae of Antitrogus consanguineus in pot-based glasshouse trials.Canegrubs ... -
Characterisation and maintenance of the Australian sugarcane mapping populations
(BSES, 2003)There were two major aims to this project. The first was to identify markers linked to major diseases of sugarcane that were difficult and expensive to select for. The second objective was to determine the cross-transferability ... -
Chicory herbicide trial : final report 2212
(BSES, 2002)Chicory is currently a commercially cultivated root crop mainly grown in Belgium. Small areas of Chicory for Whitlof production are grown in Australia mainly in the state of Victoria. The objective of this project was ... -
Chlorotic streak disease in Queensland
(BSES, 1995)Chlorotic streak is a disease of unknown etiology affecting 30-50,000 ha of caneland in Queensland annually. The disease is present in all canegrowing districts but is of greatest incidence in the Herbert River and Rocky ... -
Chlorotic streak disease of sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS243
(BSES, 2002)Chlorotic streak is a disease recognised since 1929 and is widespread through the cane growing countries of the world. Despite considerable research, particularly in the 1940-1970 period, the causal agent of the disease ... -
Chlorotic streak resistance screening in the Tully district
(ASSCT, 2016)CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) was first recognised more than 85 years ago and is present in most cane-growing countries around the world. An important management strategy is the use of resistant varieties; past research ... -
Chlorotic streak transmission and crop dynamics research
(ASSCT, 2016)CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) is transmitted in water, specifically drainage, flood or irrigation water. Research showed that transmission in water was increased by the addition of oxytetracyline (Terramycin). A two-hour ... -
Combining weed efficacy, economics and environmental considerations for improved herbicide management in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area
(Science of the Total Environment, 2020)The current Australian sugarcane industry transition toward adoption of an ‘alternative’ herbicide strategy as part of improved environmental stewardship is increasingly complicated by recent farming system, regulatory and ... -
Control of greyback canegrub by manipulating adult behaviour : SRDC final report BSS205
(BSES, 2000)In the Burdekin, early-planted and early-cut cane is more frequently damaged by greyback canegrub than other classes of cane. Cane height is important in attracting egg-laying greyback beetles and early-planted and early-cut ... -
Control of soldier fly with controlled-release insecticides : final report CO95011
(BSES, 1995)The activity of controlled-release granules against soldier fly larvae was evaluated in laboratory bioassays. Five different active ingredients were tested in a range of granule sizes. The product selected as the most ... -
Determining the biology of rhopaea canegrub in the New South Wales sugar industry : SRDC final report BSS201
(BSES, 2002)Rhopaea canegrub (Rhopaea magnicornis Blackburn) is the major insect pest of the New South Wales sugar industry with about 25% of Condong farms affected. Rhopaea has also been reported as a pest in the Broadwater and Nambour ... -
Developing an alternative herbicide management strategy to replace PSII herbicides in the Wet Tropics area : final report 2014/050

Development and implementation of NIR based predictive tools to rate sugarcane varieties against smut and Fiji Leaf Gall : SRDC final report BSS307
(BSES, 2012)This project will take existing research outcomes and use them to develop and implement new predictive tools for varietal selection against smut and Fiji leaf gall. These tools will improve the delivery of resistant varieties ... -
Development of a biological control against sugarcane poor root syndrome
(BSES, 1987)The overall objective of the project was to search for and develop an economically effective biocontrol against sugarcane poor root syndrome (PRS). The disease was known to be caused by two pathogenic fungi: Pythium ... -
Development of a fungicide spray schedule to determine the effect of sugarcane rust (Puccinia melanocephala) on yield
(BSES, 1984)This study reports on work carried out to develop a fungicide spray program which is suitable for yield loss assessment investigations. Aspects examined include the efficacy of various concentrations of chlorothalonil and ... -
Development of a method to aid decision making on herbicide use for Australian Canegrowers : SRDC final report BSS186
(BSES, 2001)This project successfully met its objectives. It demonstrated the strong competition effect weed growth has on the yield of sugarcane, developed a robust protocol for the rapid assessment of cane variety reaction to ... -
Development of controlled release formulations of imidacloprid for canegrub control: final report 2014/006
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Canegrub damage resulting from a variety of scarab species is a major productivity constraint for about 50% of Australian sugarcane farmers. Affected growers are spread across all cane growing districts and across all ... -
Development of DNA based diagnostic systems for sugarcane pathogens : SRDC final report UQ024
