Enhancement of the sensitivity of gene probes for viral diseases of sugarcane by the polymerase chain reaction : SRDC final report BS48S
(BSES, 1994)
The sensivity of gene probes for two important viral pathogens of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Fiji disease virus (FDV), has been significantly enhanced by a version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ...
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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
