Chlorotic streak disease of sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS243
(BSES, 2002)Chlorotic streak is a disease recognised since 1929 and is widespread through the cane growing countries of the world. Despite considerable research, particularly in the 1940-1970 period, the causal agent of the disease ... -
Chlorotic streak resistance screening in the Tully district
(ASSCT, 2016)CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) was first recognised more than 85 years ago and is present in most cane-growing countries around the world. An important management strategy is the use of resistant varieties; past research ... -
Chlorotic streak transmission and crop dynamics research
(ASSCT, 2016)CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) is transmitted in water, specifically drainage, flood or irrigation water. Research showed that transmission in water was increased by the addition of oxytetracyline (Terramycin). A two-hour ... -
Chop-throw; a potential driver for the next generation of pneumatic cleaning systems : SRDC Final report BS52S
(2000)The objective of this project was to determine if the chop-throw concept offered potential for high efficiency pneumatic cleaning systems, by virtue of the inherently high efflux velocities and billet presentation from the ... -
Clean Cane Workshop 2000 : SRDC final report
(SRDC, 2000)The Corporation has identified clean cane as a strategic issue that transcends several of its programs of research. -
Climate change and the Australian Sugarcane Industry : impacts, adaptation and R&D opportunities
(2008)Australia is facing continuing climate change (IPCC 2007). The Agriculture and Food Policy Reference Group (2006) considers that without adequate preparation, climate change could have serious implications for sustainable ... -
Climate ready sugarcane : traits for adaptation to high CO2 levels
(2014)Recent work in Brazil and Florida had shown strong responses of sugarcane to elevated CO2, even under well-watered conditions. These results were not expected from current understanding of leaf physiology, given that ... -
Close-range, microwave radar for automatic control of base-cutter height and other cane harvester operations : SDRC Final report JCU019
(SRDC, 2002)The harvesting of sugar cane is the first stage in the commercial milling of cane to produce sugar. It is well known that harvesting plays a major role in determining the overall efficiency of the sugar production process. ... -
Combining weed efficacy, economics and environmental considerations for improved herbicide management in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area
(Science of the Total Environment, 2020)The current Australian sugarcane industry transition toward adoption of an ‘alternative’ herbicide strategy as part of improved environmental stewardship is increasingly complicated by recent farming system, regulatory and ... -
Commercial scale economic evaluation of post-harvest cane cleaning to maximise the returns to the supply shain : Final report 2016/953
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)This project examined three cane supply treatments; Commercial harvesting, Low Loss harvesting and Low Loss Harvesting plus cleaning; to determine if post-harvest cane cleaning offered benefits over harvesting alone. As a ... -
Commercialisation of lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for sugarcane harvesters : Final report BSS251
(2002)The Australian sugar industry is facing the challenge of increasing extraneous matter (EM), depression of ccs, sugar quality issues, and increasing harvesting and transport costs per tonne of final product. In addition, ... -
A Common Approach to Greenhouse-Gas Accounting for Australian Agriculture: Common Terminology for GHG Accounting
(2023-04)This document is an extended glossary of terms used in or relevant to the project A Common Approach to Sector-Level GHG Accounting for Australian Agriculture, including abbreviations. It accompanies the Methods and Data ... -
A Common Approach to Greenhouse-Gas Accounting for Australian Agriculture: Methods and Data Guidance
(2023-04)A common approach for GHG accounting across agricultural sectors is essential to enhance consistency, transparency and confidence in sector-level GHG reporting. Internationally, there are approaches and tools that influence ... -
A Common Approach to Greenhouse-Gas Accounting for Australian Agriculture: Project Overview & Non-Technical Summary
(2023-04)This document accompanies the Methods and Data Guidance (Sevenster et al., 2023) and Common Terminology (Cowie et al., 2023) documents to provide a non-technical description of the project that led to the development of ... -
Comparison of 'into' and 'beside' stool nitrogen placement
(1992)There are now two alternative methods of subsurface nitrogen placement available: beside the stool or into the stool. The second, into the stool treatment, is easier to accomplish. Comparison of cane yields from strips ... -
Conflict over land use - urban development or sugar farms? : occasional paper 01/99
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 1999)The Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC) funds research and development projects aimed at improving industry competitiveness. Urbanisation has been identified as a threat to the Australian sugar industry’s ... -
Consequences of future management options for the Bremerhaven drainage system.
(1991)The following questions were referred to BSES by the Woongoolba Flood Mitigation Advisory Committee: (1) The possible short and long-term effect on all classes of land of lowering the watertable in the Bremerhaven System. ... -
Constituents of non-sugar products of sugarcane : SRDC final report BS85S
(BSES, 1993)Residues of selected pesticides were measured in samples of bagasse, filter mud and molasses from six sugar mills, in samples of dunder from two distilleries, and in cane tops and soil from four canegrowing areas of ... -
