Overcoming on-farm constraints to productivity and profitability in a wet tropical area
Babinda Cane Protection; CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems; Goodson, M; Thorburn, P (2003)The CCS in the wet tropics has been declining steadily for over three decades, a period in which green cane harvesting-trash blanketing (GCTB) has become standard practice among growers throughout the wet tropics. In the ... -
Pathways to exploiting enhanced photosynthetic efficiency for higher sucrose and biomass yield
Inman-Bamber, NG (2011)Australia has one of the highest commercial cane sugar (CCS) levels in the world but unfortunately CCS appears to have plateaud at about 14% of fresh cane weight over the past 20 years. Up to now in breeding programs, ... -
Precision agriculture; an avenue for profitable innovation in the Australian sugar industry, or expensive technology we can do without? : SRDC Final report CSE018
Bramley, R; Webster, T; Thorburn, P (2007)Precision Agriculture (PA) is an all-encompassing term given to a suite of technologies which promote improved management of agricultural production through recognition that the potential productivity of agricultural land ... -
Review of nitrogen fertiliser research in the Australian sugar industry
CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems; Thorburn, P (2004)The management of nitrogen (N) fertiliser is important to the Australian sugar industry, as it is an important nutrient for sugarcane production. However, over application results in reduced profitability and sugar quality, ... -
Short and long term impacts of green cane trash blanketing on soil fertility
CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems; BSES; Thorburn, P; Kingston, G (2005)In the last three decades, there has been a widespread adoption of green cane harvesting-trash blanketing (GCTB) in the Australian sugarcane industry, generally motivated by the practical advantages (e.g. weed control, ... -
SRDC Research Project final report Increased CCS, cane yield and water use efficiency by exploiting interactions between genetics and management
Inman-Bamber, NG (2009)In October 2003 delegates at an international workshop on sugarcane physiology funded by SRDC concluded that priority should be directed at a better understanding of traits responsible for high yield and high sucrose ... -
Sugar communities and resilience to change : opportunities for enhancing women's participation in sustainability initiatives
Jakku, E; Bellamy, J; Bohnet, I; Finlayson, W (Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2008)This project was funded by SRDC, in partnership with CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems and the University of Queensland. The project commenced in November 2005 and this final report, completed in November 2008, summarises the ... -
Sugar yield decline joint venture, phase 1 : SRDC technical report
Garside, AL (2000)This report is a technical summary of the research carried out in Phase 1 of the Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture (SYDJV) which ran from July 1993 to June 1999. Initially, the resources/funds for Phase 1 were provided ... -
Sugarcane Research Experiment Management System (SREMS) : SRDC final report
Kent, G (2011)SRDC-funded physiological and agronomic experiments have been conducted by many researchers from various research institutes over the past decades. The resulting datasets are typically stored in idiosyncratic formats in a ...
