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 ...
Implementation of management strategies for control of sugarcane weevil borer in far north Queensland : SRDC final report BSS224
(BSES, 2002)
Sugarcane weevil borers are an introduced pest of sugarcane from New Guinea. They cause significant losses to ccs and may contribute to production of poor quality sugar crystals. The adoption of pre-harvest burning of ...
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 ...

(BSES, 1992)
Objectives:
Herbicide efficacy screen North Queensland 1986 season
(BSES, 1987)
In 1984 a wide range of herbicide treatments were evaluated against a number of weed species. Results demonstrated the weakness and strengths of various products, and the optimum timing of application. To further improve ...
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 ...
