Control of soldier fly with controlled-release insecticides : final report CO95011
(BSES, 1995)
The activity of controlled-release granules against soldier fly larvae was evaluated in laboratory bioassays. Five different active ingredients were tested in a range of granule sizes. The product selected as the most ...
Managing the plant protection aspects of the canelands rural/urban interface
(BSES, 1997)
Australia is a highly urbanised country with an ever-increasing urban population. As the cities expand, they continue to encroach upon areas of rural land use. The result is a constantly moving interface between urban and ...
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 ...
Pachymetra chaunorhiza as a factor involved in stool tipping in North Queensland : SRDC final report BS33S
(BSES, 1991)
The objectives of this project were to determine the soil and environmental factors favouring Pachymetra root rot, and how these contributed to stool tipping in the moderately resistant and susceptible varieties Q117 and Q124.
Inheritance of resistance to pachymetra root rot : SRDC final report BS27S
(BSES, 1994)
Genetical resistance to root pathogens is a sensible strategy for disease control in a perennial crop such as sugarcane. Pachymetra root rot is a serious disease in Queensland and can cause losses of 30-40% in susceptible ...
A database of pest and disease incidence for the sugar industry : SRDC final report BS126S
(BSES, 1999)
This project established a system to collate, store and interrogate pest and disease data
that are collected annually by Queensland Cane Protection and Productivity Boards
(CPPBs). An Access database titled ‘Bugbuster’ ...
Risk to the Australian Sugar Industry from exotic insect pests : Pest Incursion Management Plan version 1
(BSES, 1999)
In response to the risk of entry of animal diseases, which could not only affect animal industries but also human health, the AUSTVETPLAN concept was developed and refined over many years. AUSTVETPLAN contains detailed ...
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 ...
