Assessment of the potential of sex pheromones as strategic lures for the control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS17S
(BSES, 1991)
Sex pheromones were shown to be emitted by females of Antitrogus consanguineus, A. parvulus and L. picticollis. Attraction of males of L. picticollis to females of A. consanguineus shows that the compound or compounds ...
Enhancement potential of 'Ethokem' in control of the common reed (Phragmites australis) using glyphosate
(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 ...
Varietal control of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane
(BSES, 1990)
Ratoon stunting disease, caused by the xylem-limited bacterium Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli, is prevalent in most sugarcane-producing countries, including Australia. It is regarded as the most damaging disease of sugarcane ...
Rationalising insecticide use in the control of wireworms : SRDC final report BS102S
(BSES, 1997)
This project aimed to develop a method to detect wireworms in pre-plant fallows, thus allowing rational decisions to be made on whether or not to use insecticide for wireworm control at planting. Insecticide would be used ...
Epidemiology and control of sugarcane mosaic virus in the Isis district : SRC final report UQ3S

Objectives:
Maximising the resistance of sugarcane to soldier fly : SRDC final report BS61S
(BSES, 1996)
Infestations of soldier fly (Inopus spp.) cause losses to sugarcane in areas from Innisfail to
New South Wales. Cane losses attributable to soldier fly in Queensland in 1995 were
estimated at 24 000 t, and the annual ...

(BSES, 1999)
Objectives of project are to: conduct specific smut surveys to determine whether sugarcane smut is present in eastern Australia. Through publicity campaigns encourage cane farmers to inspect their farms for smut. Collate ...
Enhancement of the sensitivity of gene probes for viral diseases of sugarcane by the polymerase chain reaction : SRDC final report BS48S
(BSES, 1994)
The sensivity of gene probes for two important viral pathogens of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Fiji disease virus (FDV), has been significantly enhanced by a version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ...
Factors affecting the incidence of and damage caused by weevil borers : SRDC final report BS151S
(BSES, 1998)
This study has shown that sampling billets for weevil borer damage through the
extraneous matter system of a sugar mill gives reliable data as it supports in field data
collected by BSES. These data may allow the simple ...
