Efficacy of Copper-Based Texel Fabric in Preventing Root Escape from Pots and Improving Nematode Resistance Screening of Sugarcane Accession Lines in a Glasshouse
Abstract:Plant-parasitic nematodes are major constraints in the production of sugarcane in Australia. Sugar Research Australia commenced a program to screen sugarcane germplasm accessions and commercial cultivars for nematode resistance in a glasshouse under a subirrigation system. Although the subirrigation system provided reasonable growth of sugarcane plants and significantly reduced the use of irrigation water in the glasshouse, it created a few issues. Sugarcane roots escaped through the bottom of the pots and cre… Show more
