Masterclasses in soil health and soil biology for the sugar industry : Final report 2016/025
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)A total of 252 sugar growers, productivity services staff and others attended a series of Master Classes in Soil Health/Soil Biology that were held in 2017 and 2018. During those classes they had the opportunity to see ... -
Mastering your soils for greater productivity and profitability
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)A series of workshops is delving deep into the soil to provide practical information on soil health to farmers. In recent times our knowledge, understanding and interest in soil biology and the impact of management on soil ... -
Maximising centre pivot efficiencies : Final report GGP051
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)Centre pivot irrigators are proven to be one of the most efficient irrigation systems. But in the cane industry with long ratoon cycles, and a six month harvest season, a pivot applying the same amount of water over ... -
Maximising genetic gain from family and within family selection : final report 011/343
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)The aim of this project is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of selection in progeny assessment trials (PATs). These improvements will result in increased rates of genetic gain and the release of more productive ... -

Maximising soy's in Central Queensland : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2011)The Mackay region is currently expanding into soybeans as a legume for green manure and for grain production. The lack of region specific information has meant that growers are relying on information that has been developed ... -
Maximising the rate of parental improvement in the Australian Sugarcane Breeding Program : final report 2008/319
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)Parental improvement is an integral and key component in commercial genetic improvement programs. Its importance has not been fully realised, and even ignored in SRA Sugarcane Breeding Programs around the world, partly due ... -
Maximising the resistance of sugarcane to soldier fly : SRDC final report BS61S
(BSES, 1996)Infestations of soldier fly (Inopus spp.) cause losses to sugarcane in areas from Innisfail to New South Wales. Cane losses attributable to soldier fly in Queensland in 1995 were estimated at 24 000 t, and the annual ... -
Maximising whole-of-industry benefits from the Australian sugarcane improvement program through an optimal genetic evaluation system
(2007)An optimal genetic evaluation system (GES) is the backbone of any breeding program because maximising genetic gains is primarily a matter of efficient selection. A GES provides information to breeders about which individuals ... -
Measurement and feedback systems for improving market signals for harvesting : SRDC Final report BSS261
(BSES, 2005)One of the market impediments hindering the adoption of best practice for harvesting is the one-price, dollar-per-tonne payment method for harvesting. It provides no incentive for growers to improve farm layout or ... -
Measurement of in-field sucrose loss by mobile refractometry : SRDC Final report BSS318
(2013)A world-first mobile system to measure sugar loss during harvesting has been developed and successfully field tested. This sugar is lost in all parts of the field residue: trash, tops, smashed billets and juice extracted ... -
Measuring the profitability and environmental implications when growers transition to best management practices : final report 2014/015
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)The development of sugarcane Best Management Practices (BMPs) aims to improve the productivity, profitability and sustainability of sugarcane farms. However, there has been limited research that has examined both the ... -
Measuring the susceptibility of Canegrubs to chlorpyrifos insecticide : SRDC final report BS49S
(BSES, 1997)Keith Chandler developed a bioassay system more efficient than any used previously, and used it to measure the susceptibility of 10 canegrub species to chlorpyrifos. The data were reviewed for evidence of resistance. The ... -
