Determination of fracture properties of cast steels : final report JCU9S
(SRDC, 1998)Technology currently exists to estimate the structural durability of cracked sugar mill gears and mill roller shafts. Both SRDC projects JCU2S (Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed gears) and JCU6S (finite ... -
Determine the optimum tube dimensions for Robert evaporators through experimental investigations and CFD modelling: final report 2012/054
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Experimental investigations were undertaken in a single tube pilot evaporator for nine tubes of three different lengths and three different diameters to determine the optimum tube dimensions for Robert evaporators. ... -
Determining the biology of rhopaea canegrub in the New South Wales sugar industry : SRDC final report BSS201
(BSES, 2002)Rhopaea canegrub (Rhopaea magnicornis Blackburn) is the major insect pest of the New South Wales sugar industry with about 25% of Condong farms affected. Rhopaea has also been reported as a pest in the Broadwater and Nambour ... -
Determining the relationship between on-farm decision making and profitability : SRDC Final report BS91S
(2000)This document provides the results of a four year benchmarking project in the Queensland sugar industry. In particular, it highlights the results of data collected from growers in four main regions of Queensland - the ... -
Develop a blueprint for the introduction of new processing technologies for Australian factories: final report 2015/043
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Several overseas factories are using technologies that reduce their process steam consumptions to very low levels, e.g. lower than 32% on cane, which are much lower than achieved by the most steam efficient Australian ... -
Develop a whole-of-crop load levelling arm : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)This project aims to encourage involvement of representatives from all Condong harvesting groups to work together improving their skills to carry out R&D while building onto SRDC project. (HGP002 Design and build a moving ... -
Develop and assess adaptability of different row spacings for harvester fronts : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)Cutting different row widths is a piece of cake this season for a Home Hill cane harvester contractor. This project allowed an easy change of harvester front’s widths by the pull of a lever from 1.52m to 1.83m rows, which ... -
Developing a framework for advancing road transportation of sugarcane : SRDC final report SD98013
(BSES, 1998)An objective of this project was to initiate a research program for the road transportation of sugarcane. Future research projects will be undertaken with the knowledge and cooperation of key parties and therefore have ... -
Developing a new approach to extension for widespread adoption of Best Management Practice
(2002)MUL001 has sought to improve the uptake of research outcomes by the sugar industry’s growing sector. It is recognised that the traditional one-to-one extension approach is no longer affordable and the current system was ... -
Developing a new methodology for competency based training courses for shift supervisors in sugar factories : revised final report QUT032
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)The provision of effective training of supervisors and operators is essential if sugar factories are to operate profitably and in an environmentally sustainable and safe manner. The benefits of having supervisor and operator ... -
Developing a robust soybean industry in Central and Northern Queensland : Final report GGP060
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)The benefits of using soybeans as a break crop during the traditional sugarcane crop fallow period has been well documented. Trials conducted under the SYDJV highlighted that legumes, such as soybeans, produced the following ... -

Developing an integrated cropping-systems RD&E program for the sugar industry
(2008)Sugarcane trash is used extensively as garden mulch in an industry with a value in excess of $20 million per annum. The incursion of sugarcane smut has complicated the movement of trash by companies that provide sugarcane ... -
Developing cytogenetic and molecular tools to improve selection for soil-borne pathogen resistance in wild hybrids : final report 2013/358
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)In Australia, sugarcane has been grown for more than 100 years now as a monoculture without much fallow cropping. Consequently, the heavily cultivated areas had no chance to reduce the levels of soil-borne pathogens. ... -
Developing extended fallow options for the Plane Creek district : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2014)At the time of initiation of this project, sugarcane lands were being lost to cattle grazing, tree production and hobby farms due to the low returns being experienced for sugarcane. The low sugarcane returns were a product ... -
