The role of Pythium species in yield decline in Southern cane growing districts : SRDC final report BS80S
(BSES, 1998)
Yield decline has been demonstrated in all established canegrowing regions of Queensland. Field and glasshouse studies with soil fumigants have shown that yield decline is largely caused by soilborne biological factors. ...
Identification of unknown root pathogens responsible for sugarcane yield decline : SRDC final report BS73S
(BSES, 1996)
Sugarcane yield decline (YD) is characterised by poor root development ( a lack of fine root growth, root discolouration) and poor root health. Previous YD research implicated the involvement of unrecognised pathogens in ...
