Eyes on herbicides
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)Growers will be very aware of the increasing scrutiny the sugarcane industry is under regarding herbicide run-off from farms. -
Facilitate the accessibility of productivity data by sugarcane farm managers through the SUGARSCAPE productivity software application : SRDC Final report BSS248
(2001)Utilising previous research outcomes, a utility was added to the SUGARSCAPE software application to export productivity data and farm map data to common file types. The purpose of this export utility was to provide a ... -
Facilitating enhanced peanut / sugarcane rotations by assessing and managing the issues related to growing peanuts : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)Rotation cropping has been identified by the Sugar Yield decline Joint Venture (SYDJV) as a critical tool in addressing decline in the Australian sugar industry. Previous research demonstrates that when break crops are ... -
Facilitating the commercialisation of products from GM sugarcane : communications plan
(2007)This project addresses the knowledge gap of how management affects soil biological processes. This is important because management has to maximise soil health and nutrient relations. Knowledge of soil biology in context ... -
Facilitation of best practice to reduce extraneous matter and cane loss : SRDC Final report BSS189
(2002)Green cane harvesting and trash blanketing are important agronomic production techniques in the northern sugar producing areas. Cane losses are accepted to be higher with green cane harvesting and extraneous matter levels ... -
Factors affecting cane farm productivity and profitability in the Bundaberg district
(1993)At the request of the Bundaberg Cane Productivity Committee, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries carried out a study to identify factors affecting the level of sugar yields and reasons for variation in the level ... -
Factors affecting the distribution of the vine species in sugarcane: results of GIS surveys in Central Queensland
(ASSCT, 2015)Extracted from the Proceedings of the Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technology, Volume 37, 2015. -
Factors affecting the incidence of and damage caused by weevil borers : SRDC final report BS151S
(BSES, 1998)This study has shown that sampling billets for weevil borer damage through the extraneous matter system of a sugar mill gives reliable data as it supports in field data collected by BSES. These data may allow the simple ... -
Factors affecting the sugar content of sugar cane in the wet tropics of Queensland: statistical analysis of ccs data at Babinda and Tully
(BSES, 1972)In the wet tropics, the sugar content of crops is usually below the state's average and is a critical factor in farm economy, particularly during years of low sugar prices. This aspect of sugar production has been the ... -
Factors influencing populations of Eumargarodes laingi and promargarodes spp. in sugarcane at Bundaberg and derivation of sequential sampling plans
(BSES, 1992)A survey of the margarodids Eumargarodes laingi Jakubski and Promargarodes spp. in sugarcane was carried out at Bundaberg. E. laingi cyst numbers were influenced by soil type; Promargarodes spp. numbers did not differ ... -
Factory scale trials with laser produced stainless steel screens : Bingera mill 1987 season
(BSES, 1987)The main objective in the tests carried out at Bingera was to compare the performance of two adjacent, similar, BMA K1000 centrifugals, one of which was fitted with a new set of standard Cr-Ni screens, and the other with ... -
Fallow management lays a solid foundation
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)The steps for growing a good crop start long before the crop is even planted. In this article, SRA Adoption Support Officer Gavin Rodman explains some of the fallowing strategies that can help you plan to get the most from ... -
Fallow management worth considering in dry years
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)After harvesting a final ratoon it can be tempting to plough the field out and go directly inot another cycle of sugarcane. This is not recommended, with the negative effects of continual cropping of sugarcane recognised ... -

Farm assessment of productivity limits in the wet tropics : SRDC Final report BSS159
(2000)There is an ongoing concern in the wet tropics over productivity levels, particularly with regard to low CCS. Previously, productivity trends within the region have been assessed utilising mill area statistics (Smith, ... -
Farm Biosecurity Manual released for sugarcane producers
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)A new manual has been produced to assist sugarcane growers and the entire industry to be aware of biosecurity risks that could cost the industry millions of dollars in lost production. -
Farm business management for the Queensland Sugar Industry : SRDC Final report BS136S
(1999)The objectives of the project were to: train a core group of sugar industry staff in the principles and skills of FBM; develop appropriate technology for the extension of FBM advice to canefarmers; trial, evaluate and ... -
