Alternatives to diuron in the Wet Tropics: Wrap-up of the 2014-2015 trials
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)A series of trials in Far North Queensland is assessing the performance of pre-emergent herbicides in trash blanketed ratoons, across a range of environmental conditions. Four trials were carried out in 2014-15 and three ... -
Ameliorating clay sub soils to improve crop yields : Final report 2013/072
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)There are large areas of sodic duplex clay soils across the Australian sugarcane industry. Often, the sub soil on these soils is not conducive to sugarcane root growth and as a result the sugarcane roots can only explore ... -
An account of a new moth borer of sugar cane (family Tineidae); together with further notes on the Pyralid moth borer of cane (Polyocha sp.)
(BSES Division of Entomology, 1921) -
An analysis of sugar production issues in the Ord River Irrigation Area : SRDC technical report 01/2000
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation, 2000)The analysis considered both cane yield and sugar content. A Preliminary Report in October 1998 utilised 1996 and 1997 production data, and concentrated on whether that data evidenced any changes from the pilot phase of ... -
An assessment of surge-irrigation in the Burdekin : Final report CSR35
(1992)Furrow irrigation is the natural choice for sugarcane. It is relatively cheap to operate and generally not capital intensive, However in operation furrow irrigation has distinct limitations. It is generally inefficient in ... -
An assessment of the application of DNA markers to studies of genetic diversity and marker assisted selection in sugarcane : SRDC Final report SD99001
(1999)The project objectives were as follows: -
An assessment of the potential of remote sensing based irrigation scheduling for sugarcane in Australia : Final report 2015/082
(Cotton Research and Development Corporation, 2017)There is currently no operational method of managing irrigation in Australia’s sugar industry on the basis of systematic, direct monitoring of sugar plant physiology. Satellite remote sensing systems, having come a long ... -
An automated cane billet sampler for research trials : SRDC final report BS118S
(1998)The Australian sugar industry invests millions of dollars annually on sugarcane breeding programs and associated research. Improved selection efficiency as a result of more accurate estimates of commercial cane sugar (ccs) ... -
An economic evaluation of irrigation methods and programs 1997 : SRDC Final report BS148S
(1997)The aim of the project was to produce economic and financial information to promote the adoption of more efficient irrigation practices in the Bundaberg district.The project was developed through workshops convened by the ... -
An experimental study of boiling in calandria tubes : SRDC final report JCU021
(SRDC, 2001)Raw sugar processing relies heavily on process equipment employing calandria-based heating systems to concentrate highly viscous sugar solutions, such as evaporators or vacuum pans. The design of these unit operations is ... -
An initial evaluation of surge irrigation as a management tool for the Burdekin sugar industry : Final report 89/7
(1991)Conventional furrow and surge irrigation were compared during the growth of second and third ratoon sugarcane crops on a duplex soil in the Lower Burdekin district. Data collection was severely hampered during this ... -
An integrated approach to nutgrass control : SRDC final report NFS002
(BSES, 2011)This project aimed to formulate and promote an integrated approach to nutgrass control in sugarcane cropping systems. The project was a Grower Group Research Project undertaken from July 2007 to June 2010 by the NSW Farming ... -
An integrated approach to nutgrass control : SRDC final report NFS002
(BSES, 2010)This project aimed to formulate and promote an integrated approach to nutgrass control in sugarcane cropping systems. The project was a Grower Group Research Project undertaken from July 2007 to June 2010 by the NSW ... -
An integrated decision support system (DSS) to improve the utilisation of productivity data by extension, research and productivity programs : final report BS182S
(2001)Utilising previous research outcomes, a software application titled SUGARSCAPE was developed to provide extension, research and productivity staff within the Australian sugar industry a means of collating block and farm ... -
An integrated pest management approach for the control of sugarcane weevil borer, Rhabdoscelus obscurus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(BSES, 2000)Treatments with Regent alone and in combination with pheromone trapping of sugarcane weevil borers were assessed in field trials in the Mulgrave area. Results suggest that the combination of insecticidal treatment with ... -
An integrated pest management strategy for climbing rat in the far-north Queensland sugarcane production system : SRDC final report QUT003
(BSES, 2008)Two species of rodents (Rattus sordidus and Melomys burtoni) are currently the most significant vertebrate pests in the Queensland sugar industry. Comprehensive management plans exist for Rattus sordidus, but Melomys burtoni ... -
An investigation of factors affecting ash in first expressed juice in the Rocky Point mill area
(BSES, 1981)Because of a deep concern at the level of ash in Rocky Point sugars and the lack of information on inorganic composition of juices entering the factory the management of W H Heck and Sons requested BSES to undertake an ... -
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)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 ... -
Analysis of bagasses and trash utilisation options : SRDC final report QUT008
(SRDC, 2006)The range of potential value adding processes for bagasse and trash currently being considered by the industry is diverse. There is, therefore, an urgent need for a preliminary evaluation of the relative merits of these ...
