A participatory approach towards improving industry sector profits through improved harvesting efficiency : SRDC Final report BSS227
(2002)Recent productivity gains through the introduction of high yielding varieties, green cane harvesting, improved drainage and irrigation have resulted in larger, mostly lodged crops with increased suckering. As a result, ... -
A project scoping document to SRDC on harvesting RD&E
(2010)Mechanical harvesting of sugarcane has been a major success story for the Australian sugar industry. However, the Australian sugarcane industry has suffered a plateau in productivity (Wilson and Leslie 1997) and there is ... -
Achieving the world's best practice harvesting and transport costs for the NSW sugar industry
(2007)This project set out to develop innovative techniques for cane supply management within the NSW Sugar Milling Co-operative Ltd (NSWSMC), assess and promote harvester group optimisation within the NSW industry and to aim ... -
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased industry profitability : SRDC Final report BSS264
(BSES, 2007)The project aimed to maximise commercial cane sugar (CCS), sugar yields (TSPH) and industry profitability in the Herbert region by exploiting regional variation in CCS, soil moisture and trafficability. There is ... -
Better data and tools to help inform best outcome for harvesting
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)It is a complex numbers game as growers, harvesting operators, and millers work toward improving harvesting efficiency. SRA's Brad Pfeffer spoke to farmer and harvester operator Michael Brombal about meeting this challenge. -
CLEAN team improving harvest efficiency at Isis
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)A collaborative effort between the mill, growers, harvester operators and researchers is delivering productivity and profitability outcomes for the local industry at Isis. Isis mill Chief Field Officer Paul Nicol knows ... -
Design and build a moving wall on side tipping cane transporters : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2006)With the finalisation of the New South Wales Sugar Milling Cooperative’s Co-generation project, the transportation of whole of cane crop, with its 50% increase in bulk density, without losing the current efficiencies of ... -
Implementing an integrated sugar system in NSW : Final report NSC005
(2006)The New South Wales Sugar Milling Co-operative’s (NSWSMC) move to whole cane harvesting for cogeneration will increase in-field haulout traffic by 30% with the potential for yield decline due to increased soil compaction. ... -
Improved harvesting efficiency in farming systems : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)The aim of the project was to achieve more efficient harvesting within our group. We monitored the harvesting effort for each paddock to determine the levels of paddock efficiency and increase awareness of the results. The ... -
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 ... -
Information and experimentation drive harvest efficiency
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)SRA has worked with harvesting groups across the industry on 43 demonstration trials in 2017, with 60 more planned to follow in 2018. Tully grower Chris Condon and his group were one participant. -
Maximising industry value through optimised harvesting practices
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Participation in 2017 harvesting demonstration trials with SRA is leading to further efficiency gains and harvesting improvements for MSF Sugar. By Brad Pfeffer -
On-ground work demonstrates harvesting efficiency at a regional level
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)SRA demonstration trials are continuing across the Australian industry, delivering information according to local requirements and helping to optimise harvesting efficiency. A series of demonstration trials over recent ... -
Overcoming barriers to controlled traffic adoption : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)At the commencement of this project, the available solutions for keeping harvesting traffic centred on wider row spacings while adequately filling cane bins are not effective. This was due to unsuitable harvester elevator ... -
Practical demonstration helps guide harvest efficiency
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Participation in 2017 harvesting demonstration trials has shown Lorens Riera opportunities for improvement for harvesting efficiency. -
