Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
Patane, P; Landers, G; Thompson, M; Nothard, B; Norris, CA; Olayemi, M (ASSCT, 2019)Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) recommends that harvesters maintain pour rates of 80-90 t/h, depending on make and model, and recommends extractor-fan speed guidelines that ensure minimal cane loss with low extraneous ... -
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : final report 2016/955
Patane, P; Landers, G; Thompson, M; Nothard, B; Norris, C; Olayemi, M (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives: 1. Determining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields improved to achieve the best economic return for ... -
Cost assessment of the adoption of harvesting best practice (HBP) : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Nothard, B; Thompson, M; Patane, P; Landers, G; Norris, CA; Poggio, M (ASSCT, 2019)Using ground speeds and extractor fan speeds recommended by Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) will minimise cane loss and stool damage. While these benefits provide an incentive for growers to request contractors use HBP ... -
Economic evaluation of sugarcane harvesting best practice (HBP) : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Thompson, M; Nothard, B; Patane, P; Landers, G; Norris, CA (ASSCT, 2019)Mechanical sugarcane harvesting is commonly undertaken at ground speeds that exceed the cleaning capacity of modern harvesters, which is likely to increase extraneous matter (EM) levels in the cane supply. To attempt to ... -
Investigating losses from green and burnt cane harvesting conditions : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Patane, P; Landers, G; Thompson, M; Nothard, B; Norris, CA; Olayemi, M (ASSCT, 2020)Despite much research into the impact of high harvester pour rates and fan speeds on harvested cane yields, there has been low adoption of HBP (harvesting best practice) across the industry. Full adoption across the ... -
Measuring the profitability and environmental implications when growers transition to best management practices : final report 2014/015
Connolly, C; Renouf, M; Poggio, M; Thompson, M (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 ... -
Support of cane farmer trials of enhanced efficiency fertiliser in the catchments of the Great Barrier Reef : Final report 2016/807
Connellan, J; Thompson, M (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2022-01)There is growing pressure from community and government for farmers located within the Great Barrier Reef catchments to reduce nutrient losses. Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEFs) provide an opportunity to improve ...
