Water stress is a major constraint for sugarcane production in many regions of the world, including Australia. Sensitive and non-destructive early measurement of the crop response to water stress would be of great value for producers, advisors, and researchers....
Many potential factors thought to drive the severity of Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) expression in sugarcane have been previously studied, yet no factor has been proven to be a reliable predictor of YCS severity. Attempts to correlate YCS severity with water stress,...
ROOT SYSTEMS ARE essential for crop productivity due to their role in nutrient and water uptake, stool anchorage, ratoon vigour and interaction with soil microbes. Unfortunately the opaque and solid nature of the soil has always been a major limitation for the study...
Yellow canopy syndrome (YCS) is a condition affecting Australian sugarcane crops. It causes characteristic yellowing of the mid-canopy leaves and can result in significant yield loss for badly affected crops. Many nutrient deficiencies and heavy-metal toxicities are...
Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a condition affecting Australian sugarcane that can lead to yield losses in excess of 30% in severely affected crops. The causal agent of this condition is unknown. Insect pests are well known causal agents of a wide variety of...
