Analysis of field and factory options for efficient gathering and utilisation of trash from green cane harvesting : SRDC Final report BS157S
(2000)The objectives of this project were: to determine field costs for harvest\transport of cane with varying levels of cleaning by the harvester; to determine similar costs for field to factory transport; to establish the total ... -
Analysis of sugarcane productivity trends in the wet tropics at a district level : SRDC final report
(2001)This project provided an in-depth re-analysis of district level data for cane yield, sugar content, and sugar content per hectare for the mill districts of Mulgrave, Babinda, and Tully and an evaluation of the estimates ... -
Anniversary marks 10 years of tackling the smut challenge
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)This June is 10 years since sugarcane smut was first detected within the east coast cane industry. A decade on, we take a look back at that challenge and how the industry has handled this major disease incursion. -
Answering the key questions on enhanced efficiency fertilisers
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)Answering the key questions on enhanced efficiency fertilisers -
Application of molecular markers to sugarcane breeding
(2006)The CRC SIIB marker application research aims to develop and evaluate ways to apply DNA markers to Australian sugarcane breeding programs to improve breeding, selection and fast release of high performing cultivars. This ... -
APSIM based determination of irrigation attributes and best use of limited water in supplementary irrigation areas of the Australian sugar industry
(2000)The current industry focus on improving irrigation efficiency has identified the need for a better understanding of the potential gains from irrigation and use of irrigation resources in many sugar producing regions. This ... -
Aquatill: a new method to minimum till
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Aquatill: a new method to minimum till -
Are you rat ready?
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)Cane growers are allowed to bait for rats from 1 October through to 30 June. However, there are a few things you need to consider in managing rats. The rats that cause most damage to cane, the ground rat (Rattus sordidus) ... -
Aspects of temporal N management in sugarcane in sub-tropical Queensland : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)The proximity of the Australian sugar industry to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has resulted in ongoing concerns about elevated concentrations of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the near-reef environments due to ... -
Assessing clonal and nitrogen interaction on ccs in sugarcane in the wet tropis ; SRDC project BSS180 final report
(2003)There has been a negative trend in CCS in the Tully-Mossman region since the mid-1960s that has been linked to increased extraneous matter and suckers in the cane supply. The situation had become particularly bad during ... -
Assessing nitrogen inside a plastic coat
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)The science of fertiliser use is at the frontline of an on-farm revolution that is improving producitvity and stopping nutrients such as nitrogen from harming the environment. -
Assessing the impact of biochar in the Herbert cane industry.
(2015)Biochar is the charred by-product of biomass pyrolysis, the heating of plant-derived material in the absence of oxygen in order to capture combustible gases. It is generally accepted that biochar is a highly stable form ... -
Assessing the impact that pathogen variation has on the sugarcane breeding program : SRDC final report BSS258
(BSES, 2005)In recent years, two fungal diseases of sugarcane have had a huge impact on the Australian sugar industry and the BSES CSIRO breeding and pathology programs. Sugarcane smut, caused by Ustilago scitaminea, first appeared ... -
Assessing the real nitrogen benefits to subtropical cane from soybean break crops : Final report 2016/404
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Soybeans grown as a break crop in subtropical cane rotations can fix substantial amounts of nitrogen (N), some N remains in residues even after the bulk of N has been removed in harvested beans. However, there is concern ... -
Assessing the sugar content of a crop for managing the harvesting sequence
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)Maximising whole-farm sugar yield is possible by selecting blocks to harvest with maximum Commercial Cane Sugar (CCS). -
Assessing the value of using bagasse as a paper pulp
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)A major research project is investigating the potential to turn bagasse into paper pulp, which would help greatly lift the value of a resource that is put to an otherwise low-value use. -
