On-ground work demonstrates harvesting efficiency at a regional level
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)SRA demonstration trials are continuing across the Australian industry, delivering information according to local requirements and helping to optimise harvesting efficiency. A series of demonstration trials over recent ... -
Ongoing weed control battle to assist long-term productivity
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)As a new entrant to sugarcane farming, Damian Wirth has put a strong focus on Smartcane BMP and in particular farming practices such as weed and nutrient management to get himself started. -
Open area and screen resistance measurements on fugal screens
(BSES, 1988)To determine whether the decrease in fugal capacity was due to the working screen or the wedgewire backing supporting it, a series of measurements were carried out on test specimens cut from the top, middle and bottom of ... -
Opportunities for the Australian sugar industry in greenhouse gas abatement and carbon trading : final report QUT027
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2009)New policies and market drivers are currently being implemented to stimulate additional investment in technologies and energy sources which result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition there is a rising demand ... -
Optimal plot size and replication for testing clones in early stages of selection : SRDC final report CSR017
(1998)The aim of CSRO 17 was to identifY optimal plot design, replication and selection criteria for testing and selecting clones in small plots in early stages of selection in sugarcane breeding programs. Problems associated ... -
Optimisation of cultural practices for efficient mechanical harvesting : SRDC Final report BS20S
(1991)Some progress has already been made in identifying field conditions and practices which lead to high dirt levels. These include lodged cane, wet field conditions and cutting with the harvester basecutter below ground ... -
Optimisation of experimental design and analysis for variety trials to maximise genetic gain : SRDC final report UQ023
(2001)The analysis of field experimental data usually assumes independent observations. This method is often inappropriate if the data contain strong spatial trends. Methods of analysis (commonly used in cereal trials) which ... -
Optimisation of nutrient management of the Queensland sugar industry : SRDC final report BSS176
(2002)This project, BSS176, set out to give the sugar industry an indication of how bringing nitrogen rates back to within BSES recommended levels would not only save production costs, but also improve ccs, thus improving ... -
Optimisation of the initial stages of the New South Wales selection program : SRDC final project report BS96S
(2002)The main aim of this project was to obtain the basic information required to implement an efficient and effective breeding and selection program in NSW. However, the project suffered major difficulties that affected the ... -
Optimising benefits of GPS integration into controlled traffic farming (CTF) system : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)The modification of the haulout has been completed and been in operation for the 2007 harvesting season. The aim of the project was to primarily reduce the compacted area on the ends of the rows during the turning around ... -
Optimising cane harvester extractor performance : SRDC Final report BS65S
(1996)The three year project to optimise cane harvester extractor peformance was directed into three separate areas - evaluation of existing commercial or semi commercial cleaning system -development of an extractor hood design ... -
Optimising CCS at harvest
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Farm management decisions for maximising profit don't always mean spending extra money. -
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)Production peaked in the Herbert River mills in 2005 but since then productivity has declined. Analysis of mill data in the Herbert has successfully identified groups of farms with similar productivity over time and the ... -
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : final report 2014/054
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Production peaked in the Herbert River mills in 2005 at 5.5 Mt, and in 2015 was 4.5 Mt. Cane and sugar yields during this period have also been below average, particularly in 2011, and significant areas went from growing ... -
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : Final report 2016/32
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)The annual productivity of the Australia sugarcane industry fluctuates significantly across most sugarcane growing regions. Although some of this regional variation can be explained by extreme weather events or disease ... -
Optimising rejection of dirt by cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS26S
(1994)Project objectives were -
Optimising spot spraying for controlling Guinea Grass : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Established Guinea grass stools are commonly found in our sugarcane-farming system. No registered herbicides that are both effective on perennial Guinea grass stools and selective to sugarcane are available. Directed-spray ... -
Optimising the front end for better harvesting
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Optimising the front end for better harvesting -
Optimum canegrub management within new sustainable cropping systems : SRDC final report BSS266
(BSES, 2010)This project addressed the issue of canegrub management in new farming systems. Many cane growers are adopting or planning to adopt one or more components of 'new farming systems' - legume rotations, reduced tillage and ... -
Optimum family felection for net merit grade : stage 2 trials BS45S
(1996)Mass selection of individuals in seedling or early clonal stage trials is routinely used in most sugarcane improvement programs throughout the world. It is, however, inefficient as the Heritability of cane yield on a ...
