Field performance of transgenic sugarcane plants carrying genes for resistance to SCMV : final report BSS154
(2000)The field resistance of transgenic sugarcane plants to sugarcane mosaic potyvirus was successfully demonstrated, and a number of transgenic lines are available for consideration for agronomic evaluation. Some of the ... -
Field ready, optimised precision weed identification sensor system : final report 2015/055
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)This project aimed to integrate machine vision-based weed discrimination algorithms with commercial spray control systems from a spray equipment manufacturer, to develop a field-ready, optimised, precision weed detection ... -

Final report - SRDC project BS145S : Improving sett/soil contact to enhance sugarcane establishment
(2000)This project had three objectives that were achieved in the following order: quantify the crop establishment practices of canegrowers within the major regions of Queensland and New South Wales; quantify the improvement in ... -
Final report - SRDC project BSS106 : Assessing linkages between machine traffic, soil conditions and productivity
(2001)The objectives of this project was to; 1: determine the effect of matching crop row spacing to harvester wheel track widths on longevity and yeild of ratoon crops planted in dual rows; 2: investigate the mechanism causing ... -
Final report - SRDC project BSS142 : Economic cost of soil compaction
(2000)This project was developed as a result of a study tour undertaken by Dr Braunack (Braunack, 1994) where the concept of the degree of compactness was thought to be applicable to the Australian sugar industry.The overall aim ... -
Final report - SRDC project BSS268 - Accelerating the adoption of best-practice nutrient management in the Australian sugar industry
(2010)This project BSS268 developed further the SIX EASY STEPS program, including additional compentents to its integrated package. It aimed to accelerate the adoption of sustainable nutrient management by: 1: Improving knowledge ... -
Final report : SRDC project BSS198 : Improving nutrition management and recommendations by analysing historical soil analysis database
(2001)The aim of this project was to improve and refine nutrient management in the Australian sugar industry using historical databases of soil test data in order to minimise off-site impacts and increase nutrient use efficiency. ... -
Final report Improving the cation retention capacity of cane-growing soils using high activity clays
(2009)The Australian sugar industry largely relies on tropical soils that have low cation exchange capacities (CEC) and are prone to becoming deficient in Ca, Mg and K without appropriate management. Adding bentonite is an option ... -
Final report on SRDC project CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S): The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity
(1999)When the current project was initiated, poor root growth and activity were widely believed to be a major constraint to sugarcane productivity. However, there was no technology available to assess whether or not root growth ... -
Final Report SRDC Project BS146S Farming Sodic Soils - A Situation Statement and Future Direction
(1997)Aims of project were to document research on, and farming systems for, cropping sodic soils to sugarcane, and through an expert review of research and current practices for farming sodic soils identify directions for future ... -
Final Report SRDC Project BS98S Factors Affecting the Residual Value of Lime
(1996)Project was initiated to determine the relative significance of soil acidity and soil calcium status for predicting response of sugarcane to lime in southern Queensland, where recommendations developed for tropical soils ... -
Final report SRDC project BSS197 : Products and mechanisms for the amelioration of sodic soils
(2005)This project set out to examine a number of issues associated with sodic soils. These included: 1) the impact of soil sodicity on crop production; 2) the reduction of adverse impacts of soil sodicity through irrigation ... -
Final report SRDC Project CG013 Growers working together to improve water quality in the Herbert Sugar Industry
(2008)The sugarcane area of the Herbert River district is located adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The quality of water entering the GBR lagoon from the Herbert district is one of the most important environmental issues ... -
Final report SRDC Project CLW009 Improving yield and ccs in sugarcane through the application of silicon based amendments
(2003)Under high leaching environments common to the wet tropics, soils undergo significant weathering, which, when combined with accelerated chemical and physical degradation due to soil perturbation and crop removal, results ... -
Final report SRDC Project CSR024 Improving the environment for sugarcane growth through the amelioration of soil acidity
(2002)Most soils used for growing sugarcane in wet tropical northern Queensland are highly acidic. Comparisons between new cane land and land that has been growing sugarcane for many years have demonstrated that our soils have ... -
Final report SRDC project GGIP050 Improving soybean and nitrogen management in subtropical NSW cane systems
(2012)This project aimed to document nitrogen inputs from soybean crops grown in NSW cane lands, promote soil-specific fertiliser recommendations following soybean to achieve more efficient use of nitrogen fertiliser and to ... -
Final report Sugar Research and Development Corporation Preparation of a CD Rom library of plant-parasitic nematodes
(2003)Plant parasitic nematodes are of considerable importance to all cropping industries within Australia. Losses caused by plant parasitic nematodes currently recorded in Australia is estimated at between $300 to 450 million. ... -
Final report to the Sugar Research and Development Corporation CTA007 A modelling framework to integrate research on nitrogen management of sugarcane
(1996)This project used a measurement and modelling approach to explore the processes controlling nitrogen supply and losses in the crop and soil elements of sugarcane production systems. Measurements took place both in the field ...
