    Improving the yields of ratoon crops of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS7S
    (SRDC, 1992) Chapman, LS; Ferraris, R; Ludlow, MM; Hurney, AP
    The economics of sugarcane growing improve with the number of ratoon crops which can be grown from a single planting. In Australia, declining yields with increase in the number of ratoons limit a cycle to three to five ratoons, according to district. However, studies by BSES indicate that the most economic strategies involved growing up to six ratoons. If this decline in yield could be reduced, then more ratoons could be obtained from a single planting with the associated economic benefits.

    A literature review of harvesting operations and their implication on soil compaction and yield in sugar cane : Final report PR02012
    (BSES, 2002) Blatch, T
    A significant effort has been applied to the investigation of soil compaction in the sugar cane industry. Most recently research performed by Dr Mike Braunack at Tully in the wet tropics of Queensland, Australia, has attempted to quantify the relationships that exist between harvesting of sugar cane, soil compaction and yield. Harvesting has the greatest impact on soil physical properties as the cane harvester and haul-out machines, the heaviest machinery used in the production of sugar cane, traffic the interspace at least two times for each implement and are required to harvest at soil moisture contents that range from field capacity to wilting point to ensure continuity of supply to their respective sugar cane mill.

    The influence of time of harvest on yields and CCS and the subsequent ratoon crop
    (1975) Moller, RB
    This report deals with the second trial of the growth analysis trial programme on the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station. Full details of the purpose of this programme are outlined in Project Report 1973
