An on-line cane monitoring system to measure the extraneous matter present in billet sugar cane : final report CSU001
(Charles Sturt University, Sugar Research Institute, 2000) Moore, WE
Extraneous matter (EM) in cane billets consists of two major types of material; dirt and trash. Dirt consists of primarily inorganic, rock derived material, while trash consists of primarily organic, non-productive sugar cane derived material such as leaves, tops, and root balls, Trash can also contain other non sugar cane derived organic matter such as weeds and other items included during the harvesting process.
Brix determination in first expressed juice by mass flow meter : SRDC final report SD97011
(BSES, 1997) Mackintosh, DL; Noble, AG; Sanders, DH
A series of trials have been carried out to evaluate the performance of a Micro Motion CMF025 mass flow meter in place of the standard hydrometer for brix measurement in cane pay analyses. Tests were conducted at ten sugar mills over 1994 and 1995 season. The evaluation has been painstaking and extensive in scope and has culminated in the proposal to include a Method 3A in the Laboratory Manual for Australian Sugar Mills, "Brix Determination in Juice by Vibrating Tube Density Measurement". The process has involved millers' and the growers' technical personnel.
Cultural imprint : final evaluation report
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2007) Botha, N; Coutts, J; Plowman, I
In 2004, the SRDC funded ‘Cultural Imprint’ project, a collaborative joint venture between CSR Sugar, CANEGROWERS Herbert River, the Australian Mechanical Cane Harvesters Association and BSES Ltd. The objectives of the project were to:
Sugar Research and Development Corporation scholarship program : Final report SRD014
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2006) Bruce, RC
The Sugar Research Council (fore-runner of SRDC) was established in November 1987 and in their 1989/90 Annual Report stated “For the first time the Council funded two postgraduate scholarships as part of its human resource development program.” When announcing two more scholarships the next year, their purpose was described as follows: “The regular awarding of postgraduate scholarships is aimed at not only involving universities in research associated with the sugar industry but also with the long term view of creating a pool of highly qualified persons who are acquainted with the industry and who may wish to continue their association later in their career.”
Sugar Research and Development Corporation scholarship program : Final report STU061
(BSES, 2008) Bonaventura, P
In 2007, Palmina received funding to complete a coursework Masters in Communication majoring in Public Relations and Professional Communication at the University of Queensland. As part of the 18 month course, she completed nine subject courses and prepared a thesis titled 'Improving communication between sugarcane industry organisations and growers by introducing new style elements to paper-based publications'. Through the coursework masters and preparation of a thesis, Palmina achieved the objectives of her project, which included building on her existing knowledge and providing skills to enable the improvement of communication within the sugarcane industry
The production of genetic constructs for expression of sugarcane mosaic virus coat protein in sugarcane protoplasts : SRDC final report BS9S
(1990) SRDC
This project was one phase of research required for production of transgenic sugarcane. Through this project the sugar industry now has a synthetic resistance gene against SCMV that expresses in sugarcane plant cells. When sugarcane plants are regenerated from protoplasts or the biolistic gene is adopted for use in sugarcane, this gene may be used to produce transgenic cane plants combining their original agronomic characteristics with SCMV resistance.
