Rotation crop delivers boost for Mulgrave grower
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)Even more than two-and-a-half years into a crop cycle, Andrew Greenwood still continues to see visual benefits to his sugarcane following a rotation crop of peanuts, as SRA's Brad Pfeffer discovers. -
RP20 - How one trial has changed a mindset
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Collaborators in the RP20 project in the Burdekin speak in this article about the success of the project. The RP20 project began with on goal in mind - to validate the SIX EASY STEPs method for calculating the amount of ... -
RSD vigilance a piece in the productivity jigsaw puzzle
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)The Australian sugarcane industry continues to work hard to minimise the impact of RSD, but it is an ongoing battle that must continue to be fought. -
Rural industries on track with trust - key drivers, risks and opportunities revealed

SaveN Cane : developing selection tools for N-efficient sugarcane
(2015)This project supports the sugar industry’s intensifying efforts to reduce its nitrogen (N) footprint that is caused by inefficient use of N fertiliser by the crop. The industry aims to minimise N pollution of coastal waters ... -
SCHLOT puts wealth of data at your fingertips
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Norris ECT has developed a new program that is aimed at giving the sugarcane value chain greater information about harvesting costs and practices. -
Science brings nitrogen back to earth
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)A national research program has been scrutinising applied nitrogen use, to significantly lower fertiliser costs for sugarcane farmers, and to reduce wastage that ends up as an environmental hazard. -
Science in the field - anatomy of a trial
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Over the past four years participants of the Burdekin Nitrogen Trials (RP20) have gone from sceptics to passionate supporters of the SIX EASY STEPS (TM) guidelines for nitrogen application. This can be partly explained by ... -
Scoping study - remote sensing of sugarcane leaf diseases : FSRDC final report BSS295
(BSES, 2006)Estimation of the incidence of sugarcane leaf diseases in the Australian sugar industry is largely confined to subjective estimates by Cane Productivity Services personnel. Resistance ratings for leaf diseases are applied ... -
Scoping Study for CaneMAPPS Development
(2022-04-22)This project scopes the development requirements of CaneMAPPS: a digital platform to facilitate growers’ adoption and implementation of sustainable farming practices in sugarcane production. Consultations with SRA staff ... -
Screening of Australian germplasm for resistance to sugarcane smut - SRDC final project report BSS214
(BSES, 2004)Sugarcane smut is a destructive disease that has spread to all commercial sugarcane production areas except Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the east coast of Australia. The disease was recorded for the first time in Australia ... -
Seamless transition to new ProFoss NIR system at Isis
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)ProFoss near infra-red (NIR) systems have been installed at several Australian sugar mills in 2017 with the help of milling researchers at Sugar Research Australia (SRA). -
Seasonal distribution of growth and sugar accumulation in sugarcane : SRDC project BS5S Final report
(1995)At existing levels of cane yield, an extra unit of sugar content during May, June and July represented 47 6000 tonnes of sugar worth $13.3m at 1987 prices when this project was initiated. The situation now, with annual ... -
Securing Australia from PNG biosecurity threats : final report 2015/046
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Papua New Guinea (PNG) is the centre of diversity for several Saccharum species (S. officinarum, S. edule, S robustum) and supports indigenous pests and diseases of sugarcane. These threaten Australian commercial sugarcane ... -
Seed dormancy and establishment: a critical gap in knowledge to support safe deployment of GM
(2015)The development and adoption of new varieties is a major investment in the Australian sugar industry. There are several modern techniques now being introduced into sugarcane breeding, such as introgression of Erianthus and ... -
Seed project investigates biological controls for disease
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)A new small-scale research project is investigating the use of biological controls in sugarcane that could help encourage growth and reduce the impact from some diseases. -
Seed-based in vitro propagation to accelerate variety development : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)To shorten the current lengthy selection process in sugarcane breeding and to accelerate genetic gain, Sugar Research Australia is implementing a range of novel breeding strategies and selection tactics. One strategy is ... -
