Measuring the susceptibility of Canegrubs to chlorpyrifos insecticide : SRDC final report BS49S
(BSES, 1997)
Keith Chandler developed a bioassay system more efficient than any used previously, and used it to measure the susceptibility of 10 canegrub species to chlorpyrifos. The data were reviewed for evidence of resistance. The ...
Management strategies for rhyparida in southern Queensland : SRDC final report BSS236
(BSES, 2002)
Larvae of rhyparida beetles bore into the bases of newly ratooning shoots, causing dead hearts. Very minor damage will kill 'surplus' shoots. More intense damage appears to set plant growth back and cause some yield loss. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Strategies to control greyback canegrub in early harvested ratoon crops : SRDC final report IPB001
(BSES, 2002)
Greyback canegrubs consistently cause losses of $5-10 million per year to sugarcane producers, with periodic disastrous outbreaks where losses are about $20-40 million. This indicates that the current strategy is inadequate ...
Farming systems that optimise the control of greyback canegrubs by BioCane� : SRDC final report BSS226
(BSES, 2002)
The carry-over of BioCane from one crop to the next is likely to be affected by soil cultivation during seedbed preparation. Metarhizium spores were concentrated in the rows in ratoon crops, either as spores surviving ...
Preparedness for borer incursion : SRDC final report BSS249
(BSES, 2003)
Moth borers are the most devastating pests of graminaceous plants, including sugarcane, in the world. Australia is so far free of all the major borer species, but several species occur in countries close to Australia, ...
A monitoring-based system to enhance canegrub control best management practice for Isis sugarcane growers : final report GGP056
(BSES, 2013)
The aim of GGP-056 was for growers to experience the effectiveness and practical value of
monitoring canegrub risk as the basis for more cost-effective and efficient canegrub management: -
taking the most appropriate ...
