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 ...
The management of rodents in North Queensland canefields
(BSES, 1993)
Rodent damage to sugarcane has been of concern to the Australian sugar industry since the 1930's. In more recent times, annual surveys have indicated that damage by rodents occurs over approximately 50% (150 000 ha) of ...
Integration of klerat rodenticide into the IPM program for rodent control in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS78S
(BSES, 1995)
The second-generation antocoagulant rodenticde Klerat (0.005% w/w brodifacoum) was evaluated for inclusion in the integrated pest management (IPM) program for rodent control in Queensland sugarcane. IPM for Rattus sordidus ...
The evaluation of rope-wick application of glyphosate as a method of chemical weed control in some typical farm locations
(BSES, 1984)
The effectiveness of rope-wick application of glyphosate (as Roundup) in controlling the common reed Phragmites australis in the Moreton and Rocky Point areas has fostered interest in this method of chemical weed control ...
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.
Alternative symphyla control measures and their effect on plant cane establishment
(BSES, 1992)
In some areas of the Herbert Valley, the 'root-pitting' damage caused by symphyla to young cane roots is severe enough to produce noticeable reductions in growth and emergence of young plant cane. Chlorpyrifos at 2 1/ha ...
Key factors in control of Greyback Canegrub populations : SRDC final report BS120S
(BSES, 1998)
Greyback canegrub outbreaks with severe losses in sugar production have persisted for more than six years in the Burdekin district, but population densities of the pest have declined at locations in the Herbert Valley, ...
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 ...
Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) host-pathogen relationships in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS99S
(BSES, 1997)
Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli (Cxx) is a gram +, fastidious, slow growing bacterium that causes ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane. Because of its fastidious nature, slow growth, and poor symptom expression, it has ...
