Improved train safety through improved locomotive braking performance : SRDC final report QUT019
(Sugar Research Institute, 2009)The safe operation of the cane railway, in the same way as for mainline railways, is gaining greater attention. One important aspect of safe operation is the ability to stop a train in an acceptable distance (or time). ... -
Improved yield forecasting and N management through remote sensing
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Advances in remote sensing technology - and research to apply it within the sugarcane industry - is hoped to deliver improvements to yield forecasting and nitrogen management for the Australian industry. -
Improvement of internal soil drainage and yield on heavy clay soils in the Herbert.
(2015)The Herbert consists of large areas of clay soils being approximately 60% of soils being sugarcane farmed within the region. These soils are usually nutritionally fertile; however yield potential is limited due to waterlogging. ... -
Improvements in base cutter design and cane feeding : Final report NCE004
(SRDC, 2002)This project followed on from Project US2 (Cutting of sugarcane), which showed that conventional basecutters and knockdown angles contributed to cane damage and loss by way of disk contact, multiple layered cuts and ... -
Improving billet planter efficiency : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2010)The aim of North Clarence Innovative Planting Group was to produce an efficient billet planter for a dual row cane system that provided minimal working hours and labour, thus reducing costs, and having minimal impact on ... -
Improving CCS in the wet tropics via block-specific monitoring of nitrogen in cane delivered to the mill : final report CTA045
(SRDC, 2003)This project seeks to implement a scheme for monitoring the nitrogen status of all cane crops in a wet tropics mill district and aims to work with growers in the use of this information to improve CCS and reduce the ... -
Improving extension capacity : final report BSS279
(BSES, 2006)The extension staff in the Burdekin district are both fresh-faced and full of new ideas. One of their largest hurdles to jump is the implementation of science into the real world. Growers are some of the hardest nuts to ... -
Improving harvest efficiency in the Mossman Central Mill area : SRDC Final report
(2006)The Mossman sugar industry in 2004 was characterised by small farms and small blocks, an excessive kilometer/tonne transport ratio, an aging transport infrastructure with a bin fleet of limited capacity, a decreasing area ... -
Improving harvesting efficiency
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)There are a number of actions that growers and operators can do to make this season’s and future harvests more efficient, to improve the productivity and profitability of their farming operations. -
Improving health and safety in the cane industry
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)The sugar industry is a large contributor to the agriculture industry and economy in Queensland. Managing risks, including the requirement to do so under the various workplace health and safety (WHS) legislation, is a core ... -
Improving industry returns through harvest best practice : Final report 2014/091
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)In NSW the perception was that in field harvesting losses were unacceptably high and were a result of poor harvesting practices (excessive ground and fan speeds), inadequate harvester set up (no toppers), poor crop ... -
Improving mill efficiency through rapid analysis methodologies : final report 2014/051
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)A rapid analysis system for measuring key constituents in sugarcane factory products has been developed using diode array (DA) near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic technology. Analysis of key constituents in prepared cane, ... -
Improving mill efficiency through rapid analysis methods
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)This project has sought to develop turn-key, diode array benchtop NIR spectroscopy systems for the rapid analysis of sugar factory products. -
Improving nutrient application improves water quality and farm profitability
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)The maintenance of good quality water, whether drinking water, river water or ocean water, is in everyone’s interest. Over the last couple of decades, the sugar industry has played a significant part in attempting to address ... -
Improving planting systems for sugarcane : SRDC Final report BSS208
(2004)This project has researched the major factors affecting the establishment of a sugarcane crop. Adoption of a systems approach has resulted in an improved planting system that matches the requirements of the growing of ... -
Improving profitability of the Maryborough Sugar Industry by assessing the options for cane supply and season length : SRDC Final report MSF001
(SRDC, 2002)Increasing cost/price pressure has forced the Australian sugar industry to seek innovative avenues for increasing profitability. To address this, the industry saw opportunities for increasing productivity and hence ... -
