Developing the vision of the Tully Sugar Industry : Final report CG002
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2004)The project was successful in involving the community and industry sectors in a project which addressed the viability of an important industry facing a crisis. Community involvement provided an increased level of understanding ... -
Development and application of spatial analysis to improve precision in selection trials : SRDC final report BSS231
(2004)In the early stages of selection, a sugarcane breeder tests a large number of genotypes. As the amount of planting material for each genotype for testing is typically limited, selections are usually made on small, ... -
Development and implementation of harvest management planning tools for the maximisation of CCS in the Tully district
(2010)The Tully Sugar Limited milling district is characterised by large geographical, varietal, and seasonal differences in sugar yield. Growers are increasingly looking for ways to increase profitability by capitalising on ... -
Development and implementation of NIR based predictive tools to rate sugarcane varieties against smut and Fiji Leaf Gall : SRDC final report BSS307
(BSES, 2012)This project will take existing research outcomes and use them to develop and implement new predictive tools for varietal selection against smut and Fiji leaf gall. These tools will improve the delivery of resistant varieties ... -
Development and testing of a SNP marker platform in sugarcane : final report 2012/025
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Marker assisted selection is being used in many industries to develop new and improved crops. This project sought to develop a selection tool for the Australian sugarcane industry by developing a set of DNA markers ... -
Development of a biological control against sugarcane poor root syndrome
(BSES, 1987)The overall objective of the project was to search for and develop an economically effective biocontrol against sugarcane poor root syndrome (PRS). The disease was known to be caused by two pathogenic fungi: Pythium ... -
Development of a fungicide spray schedule to determine the effect of sugarcane rust (Puccinia melanocephala) on yield
(BSES, 1984)This study reports on work carried out to develop a fungicide spray program which is suitable for yield loss assessment investigations. Aspects examined include the efficacy of various concentrations of chlorothalonil and ... -
Development of a large capacity haulout bin : SRDC Final report DDI1S
(Sugar Research Council, 1990)This report is submitted to the Sugar Research Council as a summary and description of the haulout bin designs which have been generated under project DDI 1 S. Progress with the project has been partly detailed in ... -
Development of a method to aid decision making on herbicide use for Australian Canegrowers : SRDC final report BSS186
(BSES, 2001)This project successfully met its objectives. It demonstrated the strong competition effect weed growth has on the yield of sugarcane, developed a robust protocol for the rapid assessment of cane variety reaction to ... -
Development of a precision mill mud applicator for a new farming system : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)This aim was to construct an innovative mill mud spreader capable of accurately applying mill mud in a narrow band between 2m dual rows. The group postulated that applying mill mud in a band would increase the area that a ... -
Development of a real time information system for Clarence harvesters : SRDC Final report CHC002
(SRDC, 2008)The Clarence Harvesting Co-operative was formed from the amalgamation of two existing harvesting co-operatives, which in the later years of the project consisted of four harvesters cutting a total of between 350,000 and ... -
Development of a streamlined life cycle assessment (LCA) tool for assessing the environmental benefits of progressive cane growing : SRDC Final report UQ045
(SRDC, 2012)The Australian sugar industry faces continuing expectations to demonstrate environmentally sustainable sugarcane growing practices. This has been driven by moves to protect water quality (through the Australian Government’s ... -
Development of a trash rake : SRDC Final report BS144S
(1999)Objectives of project were: to evaluate the performance of selected commercial rakes under various field conditions; to assess the ratooning vigour of varieties after raking trash from the stool area; to develop an improved ... -
Development of an Educational Package for Canegrowers on Efficient Nutrient Management : final report BSS204
(1999)The aim of this project was to facilitate responsible nutrient management for the sugar industry by providing extension support in the form of a training course for canegrowers. This educational package will enable growers ... -
Development of an improved method of harvester performance testing - in association with the jet-clean system project : Final report NCA001
(2001)In seeking to evaluate the performance of some advanced cleaning system concepts such as the NCEA Jet Clean System (NCA 006) and the NCEA Clean Flow Fan the NCEA became aware of the lack of objective automated harvester ... -
Development of an Intelligent Tool to allow real-time evaluation of harvesting practices as part of a framework for improved harvester payment systems : final report 2016/951
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)The project has resulted in the development of a cane loss indicator which can be a valuable tool to assist the harvester operator to optimise harvester performance as crop conditions change throughout the day. The system ... -
