Preparing the Australian sugar industry for exotic disease threats: final report 2009/033
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
Previous field resistance trial data for downy mildew, Ramu stunt and Sesamia grisescens collected in PNG since the mid-1980s were accessed, analysed and information used as a foundation for project field resistance screening ...
Smut-proofing the Australian industry - ensuring a reliable cane supply through reduced genetic vulnerability to sugarcane smut
(BSES, 2009)
Since the smut incursion and subsequent spread of the disease breeding for smut resistance has become an essential priority for the BSES-CSIRO Variety Improvement program. The strategy that has been adopted includes the ...
Estimating disease-associated yield losses in breeding selection trials - Endemic diseases; Pachymetra root rot, orange rust and yellow spot
(BSES, 2007)
Previous work has shown that plant improvement stage 3 selection trials can be used to assess the relationship between yield and disease resistance with particular Queensland endemic diseases - principally Pachymetra root ...
An integrated approach to nutgrass control : SRDC final report NFS002
(BSES, 2011)
This project aimed to formulate and promote an integrated approach to nutgrass control in sugarcane cropping systems. The project was a Grower Group Research Project undertaken from July 2007 to June 2010 by the NSW Farming ...
Further characterisation of pathogenicity genes from Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli, causal organism of ratoon stunting disease : SRDC final project report BSS203
(BSES, 2002)
In a previous SRDC/CRCTPP/BSES-funded project, a gene from the sugarcane pathogen Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx) was tagged by transposon mutagenesis, cloned and sequenced, and, based on DNA homology searches, was found ...
East Timor rice fields - rat control training program
(BSES, 2001)
The objective of this mission was to rapidly facilitate changes in farm practices that will minimise crop losses due to rodents in East Timor. Five 3 day workshops were conducted across East Timor and included participants ...
Review of the green grassy shoot disease (GGSD) situation in Nghe An Province
(BSES, 2008)
Green grassy shoot disease (GGSD) has been rapidly escalating. Without further research and extension assistance, GGSD has great potential to cripple production in Vietnam. The visit has provided a great deal of new ...
Inspection of Torres Strait Islands for pests and diseases of sugarcane
(BSES, 1996)
This visit between 1-4 July 1996 proved most useful in assessing the pest and disease status of the Torres Strait islands. Significantly there were first records of schlorotic streak, Ramu streak, Sesamia borer, and hybrid ...
BSS249 : Preparedness for borer incursion : Summary of effectiveness of Tebufenozide for control of sugarcane stemborers
(BSES, 2001)
Following a search of the literature and discussions with entomologists in Papua New Guinea and Louisiana, tebufenozide (Mimic?, Confirm? or RH-5992) was identified as a potential highly useful candidate insecticide for ...
Screening of Australian germplasm for resistance to sugarcane smut - SRDC final project report BSS214
(BSES, 2004)
Sugarcane smut is a destructive disease that has spread to all commercial sugarcane production areas except Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the east coast of Australia. The disease was recorded for the first time in Australia ...
