(BSES, 1991)
A significant, positive response trend to the addition of the adjuvant Ethokem to Roundup has demonstrated the potential for this additive to enhance herbicidal activity when applied to control the common reed, Phragmites ...
Population dynamics of Inopus rubriceps in sugarcane fields with emphasis on bionomic factors assisting pest management (Final report SRDC Project BS11S)
(BSES, 1991)
Restrictions were placed on the use of dieldrin in 1987 and its registration for use in the sugar industry lapsed in mid-1991. As no other insecticide is presently available to replace dieldrin, there is an urgent need ...
Pachymetra chaunorhiza as a factor involved in stool tipping in North Queensland : SRDC final report BS33S
