Project Details

In the absence of an irradiator in KZN, and knowledge gained in the radiation biology and transport of the sugarcane borerEldana saccharina, a novel approach at pilot field releases, using large cages and small open fields infested with the borer, will be trialed. F1 offspring will be mass reared at SASRI from eggs supplied from the irradiation of male moths in the Western Cape, mated with unsterilised females at the radiation laboratory. In addition to field assessment techniques, quality control parameters at all stages of the shipment and rearing process will be used to assess the suitability of the techniques for the pilot trials.

Project Details

Harvest age (HA) is one of the most important management factors affecting productivity of sugarcane in South Africa. The recent release of new, faster growing sugarcane varieties, the availability of insecticides to control the eldana sugarcane borer (which increases in older sugarcane), and questions around the economics of different harvest ages, have led to uncertainty around the optimal HAs for the different regions. This project will involve data mining of experimental and production databases, crop model simulations of different HA options, and an economic analysis of available data, to determine the optimal HA for the three major production regions in the industry Guidelines will be developed to assist growers with HA decisions under different yield potential conditions.

The Candidate

The ideal candidate must hold a BSc Hons in Crop Production/Agronomy

Project Details

NovaCane is a tissue culture process used to micropropagate sugarcane by shoot multiplication in vitro. There is some evidence to suggest that the plants have thinner stalks and tiller more profusely when planted in the field. Various factors in the in vitro culture process may cause the altered phenotype e.g. build-up of ethylene in vessels and the effect of a novel class of plant hormones, strigalactones, which have been observed to cause high tillering in the cereals. The project will involve production of sugarcane plants in vitro using modifications to the current protocol and subsequent evaluation of stalk phenotype in the field.
