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 ...
Reviving GrubPlan to ensure appropriate use and application of imidacloprid for control of cane grubs
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
The focus of the project was to:
Leaf sucrose: The link to diseases, physiological disorders such as YCS and sugarcane productivity : final report 2015/016
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
Yellow canopy syndrome (YCS) is a physiological disorder expressing as yellowing of the mid-canopy. Rapid growth following a stress period where growth rate of the top internodes has been compromised creates a supply demand ...
Impact of application depth and slot closure on runoff losses of imidacloprid
(ASSCT, 2020)
Imidacloprid represents the Australian sugar industry’s best canegrub-management tool, but it has been detected in many water bodies, including groundwater, creeks, rivers and marine environments, posing a potential risk ...
Giving it our best shot in the war against soldier flies - future research directions : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)
Soldier flies are economically damaging pests of sugarcane, particularly in central and southern Queensland. Despite decades of research on soldier fly control, the search for an effective management approach, except for ...
Soldier fly management; insecticide efficacy and varietal tolerance in field trials : ASSCT poster paper
(ASSCT, 2020)
Soldier flies (Inopus flavus and I. rubriceps) are an economically damaging pest of sugarcane that can
periodically cause major yield losses for some growers in central and southern Queensland. Larvae alter plant
growth ...
Incidence and economic effects of ratoon stunting disease on the Queensland sugarcane industry : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)
Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) has had a significant influence on productivity and profitability in
the Australian sugarcane industry for at least the last 76 years. There have been few attempts
to objectively quantify ...
Solving YCS : final report 2014/049
(ASSCT, 2021)
Yellow canopy syndrome (YCS) is a sporadic condition presenting as golden-yellowing of the mid canopy in sugarcane during the peak growing period of December to March. The key driver of YCS is growth rate and symptoms ...
Keeping our chemicals in their place – In the field
(2021-07-01)
This project specifically examined whether off-site movement of pesticides could be managed through the use of a range of tools and techniques including adjuvants, product formulations, product placement and application ...
