Adding value to bagasse as an animal feed
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)As part of a major value adding research project, scientists are looking at the potential for transforming bagasse into a complete animal feed. -
Adopting systems approaches to water and nutrient management for future cane production in the Burdekin SRDC Research Project CSE020 final report
(2008)There is concern about environmental impacts of cropping in catchments of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, especially losses of nitrogen (N) and herbicides from cropping systems. Sugarcane production in the Burdekin region ... -
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased industry profitability : SRDC Final report BSS264
(BSES, 2007)The project aimed to maximise commercial cane sugar (CCS), sugar yields (TSPH) and industry profitability in the Herbert region by exploiting regional variation in CCS, soil moisture and trafficability. There is ... -
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased profitability; findings from the 2004 industry survey : Final report
(2004)There is a large potential to increase total sugar production, individual grower and district CCS through better management of harvesting scheduling. Change management will be best implemented through active participation ... -
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased profitability; findings from the 2006 'maximising profitability in the Herbert sugar industry workshop' : Final report BSS264
(2006)In 2003, the Herbert sugar industry established an industry working team to investigate ways to manage the harvest and processing of larger crops and investigate methods of increasing industry profitability. In 2004 SRDC ... -
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) recommends that harvesters maintain pour rates of 80-90 t/h, depending on make and model, and recommends extractor-fan speed guidelines that ensure minimal cane loss with low extraneous ... -
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : final report 2016/955
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives: 1. Determining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields improved to achieve the best economic return for ... -
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : Final report 2019/951
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Patane (et al. 2019) determined that Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives. 1. Defining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields improved to ... -
Advanced computer simulation of sugar factories - SysCAD : revised final report 2010/040
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)This project aims to develop a highly adaptable 'whole of sugar factory' process model that includes the capability to incorporate a variety of adjunct processing options e.g. cogeneration, biofuel production from molasses, ... -
Advancing Australian sugarcane farming systems : Final report 2013/803
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)Vertical tillage principles were discussed vigorously at each strip tillage company visited. Most notably the presentation given by Jerry Hatfield from Iowa State University gave the group a thorough understanding of why ... -
Advancing yield, disease resistance and ratooning by exploiting new sources of genetic variability from wild relatives of sugarcane : phase 1
(2017)This project was originally planned and designed for six years to allow collection of data over 2 or 3 ratoon crops. In this first phase of the project, all propagations and trials were well established and good quality ... -
Advice gives confidence to adopt new practices

(2010)The requirements for year 2 of the contract for the delivery of research and development services to the Ord sugar project have been fully achieved. The harvest results from two second ratoon, two first ratoon and two plant ... -
Alternative symphyla control measures and their effect on plant cane establishment
(BSES, 1992)In some areas of the Herbert Valley, the 'root-pitting' damage caused by symphyla to young cane roots is severe enough to produce noticeable reductions in growth and emergence of young plant cane. Chlorpyrifos at 2 1/ha ... -
