    Enhancing grower groups in the Australian sugar industry : final report BSS287
    (2007) Allsopp, PG
    Self-directed and self-funded grower groups in other Australian agricultural industries have demonstrated that participative R&D and action-learning processes can deliver knowledge, attitude and practice change at faster rates than conventional extension methods. Australian sugar-industry productivity groups have been slow to adopt these processes and concepts. The project aimed to establish and assist a pilot grower group that could demonstrate and communicate to the broader industry the issues and benefits of participative R&D, action learning, and group incorporation and self-funding.

    Enhanced delivery of PROSPER to achieve adoption of best management practices in the Queensland Sugar Industry : SRDC Final report BSS260
    (2006) Wallis, ES; Russell, PG
    The late 1990s and early 2000s saw declining productivity and profitability within the Australian sugar industry. This decline was driven by a combination of adverse climatic conditions, declining terms of trade, pest and disease outbreaks, and declining soil health. To survive, all sectors of the industry needed to become more profitable. The key to this was a more reliable and increasing cane supply with the minimum of input costs. BSES Limited developed the PROSPER initiative specifically to target a more reliable and increasing cane supply. The program's focus was directly on BSES' mission to "Deliver realised value in strategic and applied research and extension services to growers, millers and customers".

    Risk to the Australian Sugar Industry from exotic pests : SRDC final report BSS175
    (BSES, 1999) FitzGibbon, F; Allsopp, PG; De Barro, PJ
    This project aimed to develop a pest risk analysis on likely sugarcane pest introductions and pest incursion management plan. Assessments in the risk analysis detail the likely sources of introduction and the best strategies for minimising their impact once they become established. The management plan sets out the activities and responsibilities for dealing with an incursion. These will allow the best use of limited resources and will maximise the early success in treating new introductions.
