Collaborative research to maximise profit from nitrogen
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Efficient use of nitrogen (N) opens doors to greater productivity, increased profit and reduced environmental impact, but what is the best way forward for particular farm systems? -
Collaborative use of mill data creates path for productivity improvement
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)SRA has worked collaboratively with Wilmar and HCSPL in the Herbert region to analyse mill data to drive productivity improvements. Research that has analysed mill data to help improve productivity in the Herbert region ... -
Combining weed efficacy, economics and environmental considerations for improved herbicide management in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area
(Science of the Total Environment, 2020)The current Australian sugarcane industry transition toward adoption of an ‘alternative’ herbicide strategy as part of improved environmental stewardship is increasingly complicated by recent farming system, regulatory and ... -
Commercial scale economic evaluation of post-harvest cane cleaning to maximise the returns to the supply shain : Final report 2016/953
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)This project examined three cane supply treatments; Commercial harvesting, Low Loss harvesting and Low Loss Harvesting plus cleaning; to determine if post-harvest cane cleaning offered benefits over harvesting alone. As a ... -
Commercialisation of lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for sugarcane harvesters : Final report BSS251
(2002)The Australian sugar industry is facing the challenge of increasing extraneous matter (EM), depression of ccs, sugar quality issues, and increasing harvesting and transport costs per tonne of final product. In addition, ... -
