(BSES, 2002)
Sugarcane weevil borers are an introduced pest of sugarcane from New Guinea. They cause significant losses to ccs and may contribute to production of poor quality sugar crystals. The adoption of pre-harvest burning of ...
Environmental factors affecting Adelina in the Burdekin region : final report CE004
(BSES, 2003)
The project aimed to determine why the canegrub pathogen Adelina does not infect a significant proportion of the canegrub population in the Burdekin Delta area. It examined the effect of physical characteristics of soil ...
Support for an ARC project to investigate genetic diversity of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli , causa organism of ratoon stunting disease : SRDC final report BSS239
(BSES, 2004)
The primary aim of this research was to genetically characterise populations of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx), causal agent of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane.A collection of 108 isolates of Lxx collected ...
Management of greyback canegrub in sugarcane; from research to practice : SRDC Final Project Report BSS223
(BSES, 2002)
This project was designed to involve and educate growers and advisory staff of the long-term benefits and increased profitability of greyback canegrub IPM systems. The project facilitated the adoption of IPM principles ...
Increasing productivity and profitablity in soldierfly-affected crops in the Pioneer Valley : SRDC Grower Group innovation project
(BSES, 2008)
The aim of our project is to find a way to reduce the effect soldier fly has on a sugar cane crop and to reduce soldier fly numbers. On farm trials are being conducted after consulting entomologists that have experience ...
GrubPlan 2; developing improved risk-assessment and decision-support systems for managing greyback canegrub : SRDC final report BSS257
(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 ...
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 ...
Expanded registration for Metarhizium strains against canegrubs : SRDC final project report BSS246
(BSES, 2002)
Eight fungicides and three liquid insecticides are registered in Queensland for application to sugarcane at planting, and these may come into contact with Metarhizium during application from cane planters. Seven of the ...
Farming systems that optimise the control of greyback canegrubs by BioCane� : SRDC final report BSS226
(BSES, 2002)
The carry-over of BioCane from one crop to the next is likely to be affected by soil cultivation during seedbed preparation. Metarhizium spores were concentrated in the rows in ratoon crops, either as spores surviving ...
