(BSES, 2008)
The vision of the project was to provide industry with refined greyback canegrub management systems complete with risk-assessment and decision-support models that could ultimately be deployed at a commercial consultancy ...
Does rotating cultivars with intermediate resistance influence pachymetra root rot of sugarcane : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Concerns have been raised by industry members over lower than expected cane yields associated with high oospore levels in sugarcane cultivars rated to have intermediate resistance to pachymetra root rot. This is a significant ...
How do current ratings of sugarcane varieties for resistance to smut relate to natural infection
(ASSCT, 2018)
SUGARCANE SMUT, CAUSED by a fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is an important
disease of sugarcane in Australia. Sugarcane smut can be managed effectively through
the propagation of resistant varieties. In Sugar Research ...
Plant-parasitic and free-living nematodes associated with sugarcane in North Queensland
(ASSCT, 2018)
SURVEYS OF NORTH Queensland sugarcane soils indicated that root-lesion nematode
(Pratylenchus zeae) was the most important nematode pest because it occurred in most
fields and was often present at high population densities. ...
Optimising spot spraying for controlling Guinea Grass : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Established Guinea grass stools are commonly found in our sugarcane-farming system. No registered herbicides that are both effective on perennial Guinea grass stools and selective to sugarcane are available. Directed-spray ...
Can directed-spray strategies control Guinea Grass stools? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Guinea grass is a troublesome perennial grass in our sugarcane farming system. Despite a range of effective pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicides, optimum spray windows are often missed and established Guinea ...
Chlorotic streak resistance screening in the Tully district
(ASSCT, 2016)
CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) was first recognised more than 85 years ago and is
present in most cane-growing countries around the world. An important management
strategy is the use of resistant varieties; past research ...
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 ...
A metarhizium-based product for control of cane pests : SRDC final report BSS134
(BSES, 2000)
The fungus Metarhizium anisopliae is a naturally occurring pathogen of soil insects in Australia. Metarhizium can be used as a bioinsecticide for control of canegrubs by mass-producing spores on rice and applying the ...
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 ...
