Information sheet : Do you know your rusts?
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2022)There are two well-known rust diseases of sugarcane – orange rust caused by Puccinia kuehnii and brown rust caused by Puccinia melanocephala. During the 1970s brown rust spread to many sugar industries throughout the ... -
Information sheet : Green grassy shoot disease (GGSD)
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2022)Green grassy shoot disease (GGSD) was recognized for the first time in Thailand in the mid-1990s. Caused by a phytoplasma – a very small organism that lives in the phloem of the vascular bundles, the disease has ... -
Information sheet : Fiji leaf gall
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2022)Fiji leaf gall (FLG) has caused major disease epidemics in the Australian sugarcane industry. The most severe epidemic occurred in the 1970-1980 period in the Bundaberg region when the susceptible variety NCo310 was widely grown. -
Information sheet : Chlorotic streak
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2022)Chlorotic streak is found in all sugarcane growing areas in eastern Australia and can cause serious yield losses, particularly in flood prone or waterlogged parts of the industry. The disease is one of the most widespread ... -
Information sheet : Sclerotial sett rot disease
Sclerotial sett rot (SSR) was first identified in 2016 at the SRA Woodford Pathology Farm on sugarcane setts sent for disease resistance screening trials. Up until now, it has not been reported anywhere else in the ... -
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : Final report 2016/32
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)The annual productivity of the Australia sugarcane industry fluctuates significantly across most sugarcane growing regions. Although some of this regional variation can be explained by extreme weather events or disease ... -

Investigating losses from green and burnt cane harvesting conditions : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2020)Despite much research into the impact of high harvester pour rates and fan speeds on harvested cane yields, there has been low adoption of HBP (harvesting best practice) across the industry. Full adoption across the ... -
Cost assessment of the adoption of harvesting best practice (HBP) : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Using ground speeds and extractor fan speeds recommended by Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) will minimise cane loss and stool damage. While these benefits provide an incentive for growers to request contractors use HBP ... -
Economic evaluation of sugarcane harvesting best practice (HBP) : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Mechanical sugarcane harvesting is commonly undertaken at ground speeds that exceed the cleaning capacity of modern harvesters, which is likely to increase extraneous matter (EM) levels in the cane supply. To attempt to ... -
