Sugar Research Australia Limited, Brisbane. Sugar Research Australia Final Report - Project 2019/015 ABSTRACT Given Sugar Research Australia’s (SRA) investment in and management of a portfolio of RD&A projects that drive productivity, profitability and sustainability for the Australian sugarcane industry, SRA is committed to setting the right targets, managing research investments to maximise the likelihood of success, and ensuring the delivery and adoption of project outcomes and impacts across the Australian sugarcane industry. SRA’s Key Focus Area 3 Pest, disease and weed management, aims to drive “Reduced or avoided yield losses and/or added input costs”. SRA commissioned a review of RD&A over the last 15 years that identifies emerging technology and best practice strategies for addressing pest, disease, weed and biosecurity threats in sugarcane. The review focused on four themes: • Biosecurity: enhance capacity to manage biosecurity risks • Pest control: enhance capability to deal with pests • Disease management: improve disease management strategies and technologies • Weed management: improve weed management strategies and technologies The review provides a set of recommendations for further RD&A that can be used by SRA to consult with industry and leading technical experts on the current management practices and threats, opportunities and priorities for pest, weed, disease and biosecurity management. 1 Sugar Research Australia Final Report - Project 2019/015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sugar Research Australia’s (SRA) investment in and management of a portfolio of RD&A projects that drive productivity, profitability and sustainability for the Australian sugarcane industry means that SRA is committed to setting the right targets, managing research investments to maximise the likelihood of success, and ensuring the delivery and adoption of project outcomes and impacts across the Australian sugarcane industry. SRA’s Key Focus Area 3 Pest, disease and weed management, aims to drive “Reduced or avoided yield losses and/or added input costs”. SRA commissioned a review of RD&A over the last 15 years that identifies emerging technology and best practice strategies for addressing pest, disease, weed and biosecurity threats in sugarcane. Published and unpublished project reports were reviewed. The review focused on four themes: • Biosecurity: enhance capacity to manage biosecurity risks • Pest control: enhance capability to deal with pests • Disease management: improve disease management strategies and technologies • Weed management: improve weed management strategies and technologies The review provides: • A critical literature review and summary on each of these themes, focusing on priority issues that are likely to justify RD&A investment and covering work in reports and publications over the last 15 years from the Australian sugarcane industry, other sugarcane industries, and other agri-industries. • A review of techniques and technologies that address specific opportunities and threats in the current (and future) industry, including what R&D would be required to develop, adapt and commercialise/extend these techniques and technologies. • A summary of the opportunities for RD&A identified as informed by the above two bodies of work. The set of recommendations for further RD&A can be used by SRA to consult with industry and leading technical experts on the current management practices and threats, opportunities and priorities for pest, weed, disease and biosecurity management. 2 Sugar Research Australia Final Report - Project 2019/015 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY .......................................................................................................................... 2 1.

  • Learning, Evolvability and Exploratory Behaviour: Extending the Evolutionary Reach of Learning
    Penultimate Draft Learning, evolvability and exploratory behaviour: extending the evolutionary reach of learning Rachael L. Brown Abstract Traditional accounts of the role of learning in evolution have concentrated upon its capacity as a source of fitness to individuals. In this paper I use a case study from invasive species biology—the role of conditioned taste aversion in mitigating the impact of cane toads on the native species of Northern Australia—to highlight a role for learning beyond this—as a source of evolvability to populations. This has two benefits. First, it highlights an otherwise under-appreciated role for learning in evolution that does not rely on social learning as an inheritance channel nor ‘‘special’’ evolutionary processes such as genetic accommodation (both of which many are skeptical about). Second, and more significantly, it makes clear important and interesting parallels between learning and exploratory behaviour in development. These parallels motivate the applicability of results from existing research to learning and learning evolution and to our understanding the evolution of evolvability more generally. Keywords Evolvability・Learning・Plasticity・Behaviour・Facilitated variation Introduction In essence my claims in this paper are relatively simple. We all accept that learning is frequently adaptive for individuals in changeable environments. It can allow organisms to continue to survive and reproduce despite any changes to the environment that occur during their lifetimes. What I highlight here is that this is not all that learning does. Learning can allow populations to respond appropriately to environmental change without the requirement for any genetic change. In doing this, learning allows populations to avoid the potential loss of genetic diversity that comes with directional selection, and thus it preserves the standing variation in populations.

  • Acoustic Detection of Melolonthine Larvae in Australian Sugarcane
    FIELD AND FORAGE CROPS Acoustic Detection of Melolonthine Larvae in Australian Sugarcane 1 2 3 R. W. MANKIN, P. R. SAMSON, AND K. J. CHANDLER J. Econ. Entomol. 102(4): 1523Ð1535 (2009) ABSTRACT Decision support systems have been developed for risk analysis and management of root-feeding white grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) in Queensland, Australia, sug- arcane (Saccharum spp.), based partly on manual inspection of soil samples. Acoustic technology was considered as a potential alternative to this laborious procedure. Field surveys were conducted to detect the major pests Dermolepida albohirtum (Waterhouse) near Mackay, and Antitrogus parvulus Britton near Bundaberg. Computer analyses were developed to identify distinctive scrapes and other sounds produced by D. albohirtum and Antitrogus species and to distinguish them from sounds of nondamaging white grubs (Rutelinae, Dynastinae), as well as from extraneous, wind-induced tapping signals. Procedures were considered for incorporating acoustic methods into surveys and sequential sampling plans. Digging up and inspecting sugarcane root systems requires 10Ð12 min per sample, but acoustic assessments can be obtained in 3Ð5 min, so labor and time could be reduced by beginning the surveys with acoustic sampling. In a typical survey conducted in a Þeld with low population densities, sampling might terminate quickly after Þve negative acoustic samples, establishing a desired precision level of 0.25 but avoiding the effort of excavating and inspecting empty samples. With a high population density, sampling might terminate also if signals were detected in Þve samples, in which case it would be beneÞcial to excavate the samples and count the white grubs. In intermediate populations, it might be necessary to collect up to 20 samples to achieve desired precision, and acoustic methods could help determine which samples would be best to excavate.

This study was designed to evaluate the association between sugar cane plantation and pest infestation to crop in relation to abiotic factors (temperature, relative humidity and rainfall) in tehsil Khan Pur district Rahim Yar khan from April 1 to July 30, 2019.These abiotic parameters whether have any impact on population density or not was checked. Generally cane varieties grown the Rahim yar khan are, In Pakistan, sugarcane was cultivated on 1313 thousand hectares area in 2017-18. During the last few years the average area under cultivation has increased while the average production of sugarcane falls between the ranges of 45-50 tons/hectare. Insect and pests had been reported playing havoc and main role in reducing the yield of sugarcane. The most serious insect pests limiting sugarcane production are sugarcane borers, stem borers, guard spur borer and Pyrilla. These insects pests potentially caused reduction in the sugarcane production from 15-20, 10-20 and 30-35 percent respectively.

  • Nature's Weapons in the War on Weeds
    www.ecosmagazine.com Published: 6 August 2012 Nature’s weapons in the war on weeds Anantanarayanan Raman Anamika Sharma Dennis Hodgkins It has been fifty-two years since publication of the last scientific book on biological weed control in Australia. This makes Biological Control of Weeds in Australia Biological Control of Weeds in Australia – published just ahead of the fiftieth anniversary of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring – a timely and valuable contribution to the field of environmental management. Biological Control of Weeds in Australia. Edited by Mic Julien, Rachel McFadyen and Jim Cullen. CSIRO Publishing, 2012, hardback and ebook, ISBN: 9780643099937, AU $180.00. When left to itself, Nature manages populations brilliantly. The food-chain hierarchy includes predatory and parasitic organisms that regulate populations of herbivores. In turn, herbivores regulate plant populations. Over time, we humans have learnt to exploit natural mechanisms of predation and parasitism to our advantage. We use them to manage populations of organisms such as pests, weeds, using those predators and parasitoids that utilise them. The introduction of the South American cactus moth (Cactoblastis cactorum) to regulate exploding populations of the introduced prickly pear (Opuntia spp.) in the 1920s is an Australian example of the brilliantly successful use of biological management. The use of chemicals to regulate pest populations took off in the 1940s, with the discovery that DDT can be a powerful weapon in the management of pestiferous insects (e.g. mosquitoes). However, by the 1960s, the environmental consequences of DDT and similar chemicals were becoming apparent. The effects of unintentional pesticide permeation into natural systems were elegantly articulated by Rachel Carson in her groundbreaking bookSilent Spring in 1962.

CT1) killing invasive cane toads (Rhinella Cane toad marina) in tropical Australia raises concerns of potential spill-over into native anuran populations. Considering Frogs the vulnerability of anuran communities globally, Entamoeba sp. CT1 may pose a serious threat to anuran PCR biodiversity. Through PCR-based detection and molecular identification, we investigated the prevalence of Inhibition Entamoeba spp. in the faeces and colon tissue of cane toads (Rhinella marina) and eleven native Australian frog Entamoeba Invasive species species from a single locality in the Northern Territory. No Entamoeba DNA was detected in samples of native frog Cysts faeces (N ¼ 57) or colons (N ¼ 17). Entamoeba DNA was detected in 24% of 45 cane toads (95%CI 14.08–38.82). Both E. ranarum and Entamoeba sp. CT1 were present in cane toads.

  • Principles and Concept of Integrated Pest Management
    PRINCIPLES AND CONCEPT OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT History of Pest Management • 2500 BC First records of insecticides; Sumerians used sulfur compounds to control insects and mites. • 200 BC Romans advocated oil sprays for pest control. • 300 AD First records of biological controls; Chinese used. predatory ants in citrus orchards to control caterpillar and beetle pests. • 1880 First commercial spraying machine. • 1930 Introduction of synthetic organic compounds for plant pathogen control. • 1940 First successful use of an entomopathogen; Milky Spore (Bacillus popillae) used to control Japanese beetle. Supervised insect control – Shortly after World War II, when synthetic insecticides became widely available, entomologists in California developed the concept of Supervised Control. It is an alternative to calendar-based insecticide programs. Supervised control was based on a sound knowledge of the ecology and analysis of projected trends in pest and natural-enemy populations. Integrated control- Supervised control formed much of the conceptual basis for "integrated control“ that University of California entomologists articulated in the 1950s. Integrated control sought to identify the best mix of chemical and biological controls for a given insect pest. The adage of "if a little works, a lot will work better“ was the major premise for applying chemical to address pest problems on the farm and around the home Ecological Backlash – As early as the 1950's, pesticide-induced problems such as pest resurgence, pest replacement, and pesticide resistance caused problems in agriculture. Pest resurgence = In 1959, scientists discovered that aphids could be better controlled by reducing the amount of pesticide used because the pesticides were killing aphid predators as well as the aphids themselves, causing large-scale pest resurgence (Stern, et al., 1959).
