How effective is your fallow?
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)A successful crop cycle starts with the fallow. A well-managed fallow is one of the keys to a profitable crop cycle. In this article, SRA Adoption Officer Gavin Rodman, Tully, looks at the key aspects of a fallow which ... -
How much nitrogen will that crop need? Incorporating climate forecasting to improve nitrogen management in the Wet Tropics : Final project 2015/075
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Determining the optimum amount of nitrogen that is required by the crop to maximise production, profitability and environmental outcomes is a challenging problem. The modelling approach taken in this project has balanced ... -
How will climate change impact climate variability in sugarcane growing regions? : SRDC Final report JCU032
(SRDC, 2012)Sugarcane is the fastest growing, largest biomass and highest sucrose accumulated agricultural crop today that offers a valuable contribution to delivering a sustainable future (Skocaj, 2013). Aside from cereal crops, ... -
Hygroscopic water in sugarcane : final report 114
(CSR, 1990)At the 1989 Workshop on Cane Analysis conducted by the Sugar Research Council it emerged that the best technical method of cane analysis for the Australian industry was the direct cane analysis method (DCA) employing ... -
Identification of acid sulfate soils using a field peroxide pH test
(1999)This science project was conducted as part of Year 12 Chemistry to provide an assessment of the presence of acid sulfate soils on an Ingham property. The results will determine the extent of acid sulfate soil existence ... -
Identification of canegrub-resistant transgenic sugarcane lines for commercial evaluation : SRDC final report BSS237
(2004)This project aimed to progress canegrub-resistant transgenic sugarcane to recommendations for field testing by negotiating IP and research agreements to allow commercial release of transgenic plants, determining the ... -
Identification of resistance mechanisms in sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra : SRDC final report BS79S
(BSES, 1999)Project objectives- Develop techniques for studying the biochemical reactions of sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical mechanisms of infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical changes produced in ... -
Identification of unknown root pathogens responsible for sugarcane yield decline : SRDC final report BS73S
(BSES, 1996)Sugarcane yield decline (YD) is characterised by poor root development ( a lack of fine root growth, root discolouration) and poor root health. Previous YD research implicated the involvement of unrecognised pathogens in ... -
Identifying management zones within cane paddocks: an essential foundation for precision sugarcane agriculture : SRDC Final report BPS001
(2011)Variability in plant growth across spatial zones within sugarcane crops arises from the complex interactions of soil nutritional status, soil physical properties (especially soil texture), surface and subsurface drainage, ... -
Imidacloprid Application - Measurement of Applied Depths

Imidacloprid stewardship vital for sustainable and productive future
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)Imidacloprid stewardship vital for sustainable and productive future -
Impact of application depth and slot closure on runoff losses of imidacloprid
(ASSCT, 2020)Imidacloprid represents the Australian sugar industry’s best canegrub-management tool, but it has been detected in many water bodies, including groundwater, creeks, rivers and marine environments, posing a potential risk ... -
Impact of chopper harvesting on the translation of field CCS to factory realised CCS : SRDC final report SD01007
(BSES, 2001)This project was designed to investigate the impact of chopper harvesting on CCS at the mill relative to measured CCS levels of cane in the field, as part of the reason behind declining CCS. Background for the project ... -
Impact of nutgrass on sugarcane yield
(BSES, 2011)Research carried out in Mackay over 2009-2010 in plant cane confirmed the impact of nutgrass competition on sugarcane yield and profitability. Trials were conducted on both dryland and irrigated sites, with similar yield ... -

Implementation of a 2M farming system : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project Final report
(2008)The SYDJV with research conducted over some fourteen years, recommended the adoption of a new farming system based on controlled traffic, minimum tillage, and break cropping. Cane harvesters and associated haul out equipment ... -
Implementation of controlled traffic farming of sugarcane in the Herbert River district : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project Final report GGP003
(SRDC, 2007)The Pinnacle Precision Farming (PPF) Group was formed with the goal of implementing and benefiting from the principals of controlled traffic farming using techniques being used by the Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture ... -
Implementation of improved sugarcane farming systems in the Clare area, Burdekin District, North Queensland : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project Final report
(2007)The MIG was interested to quantify the benefits of moving from their current 1.52m row configuration to a row configuration that better matches tractors, harvesters and haulage equipment using GPS technology. As a result ... -
Implementation of irrigation practices for profitable resource efficient sugarcane production in the Ord : Final report CSE007
(SRDC, 2006)Sugarcane is currently the major crop in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) in terms of area, occupying approximately 4000 hectares or a third of the irrigable area. It is also possible that further expansion could ... -
