A technique was developed for testing for physiological races of sugarcane rust. A range of cultivars were inoculated with a single spore isolate of Puccinia melanocephala by discharging 3 mg of urediospores into a spore ...
Studies on the biology of negatoria and childers Canegrubs as a basis for development of improved controls : SRDC final report BS77S
(BSES, 1998)
The biology of the two most important species of canegrubs affecting sugarcane in southern Queensland. Childers canegrub (Antirogus parvulus Britton) and negatoria canegrub (Lepidiota negatoria Blackburn) was studied ...
Rhopaea Canegrub - Assessment of Pest Status and an RD&E program for improved Management in the Tweed Valley
(BSES, 1996)
I visited the Tweed Valley area to assess the pest status of rhopaea canegrub, diagnose reasons for grower dissatisfaction with present control options, and, with affected growers and technical staff to develop a research, ...
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

Sugarcane streak mosaic; researching a relatively new disease in Indonesia
(ASSCT, 2018)
SUGARCANE STREAK MOSAIC occurs in the south and south-east Asia regions and was
first identified in Indonesia in 2005. Its relatively recent recognition means that much
remains to be learnt about this viral disease. ...
Chlorotic streak transmission and crop dynamics research
(ASSCT, 2016)
CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) is transmitted in water, specifically drainage, flood
or irrigation water. Research showed that transmission in water was increased by the
addition of oxytetracyline (Terramycin). A two-hour ...
Pachymetra root rot surveys of the Tully district update 2018 : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Pachymetra root rot is a soil-borne disease that impacts all sectors of the Australian sugar
industry. The disease attacks the root system of sugarcane crops, affecting yields and leading
to stool loss and shortened crop ...
The bacterial biocontrol agent pasteuria penetrans can help control root-knot nematode on sugarcane
(ASSCT, 2018)
ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE (Meloidogyne javanica) is one of the most damaging pests of
sugarcane, often causing heavy losses in coarse-textured sandy soils. The bacterial
parasite Pasteuria penetrans is a potentially useful ...
Improving technical communication within the sugar industry; Development of a best practice resource package for greyback canegrub : SRDC final report BSS233
(BSES, 2001)
Following a workshop in 1999 involving industry representatives, commercial bodies, and information technologists the objectives of a CD-ROM on canegrub best practice management were determined. The CD-ROM was to be the ...
An integrated pest management approach for the control of sugarcane weevil borer, Rhabdoscelus obscurus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(BSES, 2000)
Treatments with Regent alone and in combination with pheromone trapping of sugarcane weevil borers were assessed in field trials in the Mulgrave area. Results suggest that the combination of insecticidal treatment with ...
