Understanding interactions between basecutters and other forward-feed components with the cane stalk : Final report 2016/952
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Increasing harvesting speed has been necessary to facilitate the large increases in productivity required by the harvesting fleet to manage sugarcane-industry cost pressures. Whilst the power and processing throughput of ... -
Understanding maturity
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)The process of maturity happens during the growing season as internodes along the stalk fill with sugar. However, full maturity of cane (ripening of the upper internodes) happens only when appropriate climatic conditions ... -
Understanding soil organic matter and why it's important
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)Increasing soil organic matter is widely regarded as beneficial to soil function and fertility. In agricultural production systems, it is integral to sustainable farming. -
Understanding the effect of harvester speed on subsequent ratoon performance in the Burdekin : Final report 2014/092
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)In 2014 six harvester speed trials were established in the Burdekin to investigate the effect of harvester speed on crop yields and subsequent ratooning, and the economics associated with harvesting at different ... -
Understanding the mechanisms that control the release of a soluble crystalline agrichemical extruded with polymers
(2020)Nitrogen (N) is an essential element to sustain all life on Earth, yet it also wreaks havoc when in excess. The production of synthetic N fertilisers through the Haber-Bosch process began in the early 1900s and initiated ... -
Understanding the reproductive biology and ecology of sugarcane to manage the safe release of genetically modified cultivars
(2010)This project set out to obtain basic and previously unavailable information on the ecology and sexual reproduction of sugarcane primarily so advances in sugarcane biotechnology can be utilised to the benefit of the Australian ... -
Understanding the soil through digital mapping

Understanding water quality in sugarcane farming systems : SRDC Final report BSS329
(2005)The ‘new’ sugarcane farming system (reduced tillage, controlled traffic, legume break) has many advantages over the traditional farming system. However, the impact on water quality is not known. This project aimed to ... -
Understanding why potential field CCS is not realised at the factory : SRDC final report SD02005
(BSES, 2002)Declining ccs in the Mossman-Tully region has been linked to increasing extraneous matter in mill-supply cane. This was quantified by measuring the proportion and quality of crop fractions in pre-and post-harvest subsamples. ... -
Upcoming SRA Milling Webinars
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)The SRA Milling Webinar series provides milling staff and other industry stakeholders with the opportunity to learn more about milling research topics and projects, and also discuss the information being presented. -
Updated traits to maximise profitability along the value chain
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)An extensive consultation process involving an industry reference group has helped determine a new approach for selecting sugarcane varieties as part of the Sugar Research Australia (SRA) plant breeding program. -
Upgrading load and speed limits for cane transport vehicles : SRDC final project report SD01004
(BSES, 2001)The primary objective of this project was to reduce costs associated with the haulout of cane by facilitating the continued development of haulout equipment, appropriate to the needs of the industry. This was achieved by: -
User manual for CaneLCA Eco-efficiency Calculator V1.01
(BSES, 2013)CaneLCA calculates the eco-efficiency of sugarcane production over its lifecycle, to help sugarcane producers and their advisors identify sustainable farming practices. CaneLCA can assist sugarcane producers to: -

Using diuron-based herbicides? Know your no-spray periods
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)Following the Australian Pest and Veterinary Medicines Authority APVMA review of diuron, the APVMA permit PER 13874 which allowed for the phase out of old stock of diuron-based products has now expired. This means that all ... -
Using introgression to put new genes into sugarcane varieties
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Research is underway looking at the wild relatives of sugarcane to bring in the good traits from these species and see them drive productivity and profitability outcomes for sugarcane growers and millers. -
