Enhancing grower groups in the Australian sugar industry : final report BSS287
(2007)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 ... -
Enhancing nutrient placement: Sub surface application of cane : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report GGP044
(SRDC, 2011)Historically composting of wastes is used to reduce waste volume by about 50% so that cartage to a landfill site is reduced or in farming provides economics in application to pasture or broad acre. Responding to waste ... -
Enhancing resistance to yellow spot disease": SRDC final project report BSS245
(BSES, 2003)Yellow spot is a leaf disease caused by the fungus Mycovellosiella koepkei. Although known in Queensland since 1950, some facets of the disease have never been adequately researched. Yellow spot principally, but not ... -
Enhancing sugarcane growth and yield by biocontrol agents and biofertilizers : final report 2014/402
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Australian sugarcane industry is facing significant challenges affecting sugarcane growth. Sugarcane diseases and soil degradation are the two major threats. Many sugarcane diseases are caused by pathogenic fungi and ... -
Enhancing the Plant breeding outcomes of sugarcane cytogenetic techniques : SRDC final report BSS339
(2011)The first part of this project was to attend the annual Plant and Animal Genome XIX (PAG) conference held in San Diego, USA, from January 14-19, 2011, and to present a paper at the associated International Consortium of ... -
Enhancing the sugar industry value chain by addressing mechanical harvest losses through research, technology and adoption : Final report 2016/901
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)The project addressed the challenges of mechanical sugarcane harvesting, that include damage to the crop, cane loss from the harvester and high levels of extraneous matter sent to the mill. It did this by developing harvester ... -
Environmental and economic performance indicators : Farm Management Systems for the Sugarcane Industry, sub-program 2
(2006)This project examines the use of key performance indicators within a Farm Management System (FMS) to assess changes in environmental and economic circumstances attributable to exposure to key risk factors. Such indicators ... -
Environmental factors affecting Adelina in the Burdekin region : final report CE004
(BSES, 2003)The project aimed to determine why the canegrub pathogen Adelina does not infect a significant proportion of the canegrub population in the Burdekin Delta area. It examined the effect of physical characteristics of soil ... -
Environmental stimuli for sugarcane suckering in the wet tropics : SRDC final report BSS221
(2003)The northern section of the industry has been in crisis for most of the years in the decade up to 2002 because of declining CCS. This decline has been due to increased extraneous matter levels due largely to increased ... -
Environmentally sound phosphorus management for sugarcane soils : final report on SRDC Project no CSS3S
(1998)A field and laboratory-based survey of the behaviour of phosphorus (P) was carried out on the soils of the lower Herbert River catchment, and sediments derived from them. The aim was to explore the factors governing P ... -

(BSES, 1992)Objectives: -
Epidemiology studies into sugarcane smut : SRDC final report BSS302
(BSES, 2010)The objective of this project was to: Optimise industry transition from susceptible to resistant commercial varieties, with minimal losses resulting from direct or in-direct crop effects, thus maximising industry profitability. -
Establishing a million tonne harvesting co-operative : Final report HGP001
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2006)The aim of the project was to form a million tonne harvesting co-operative in the Broadwater Sugar Mill area involving the amalgamation by way of merger of 7 registered harvesting groups with the option for 2 current ... -
Establishing the second crop cycle into permanent beds : SRDC Final report BSS306
(2010)The 'establishing the second crop cycle into permanent beds' project operated over a 3-year period from 2007 until 2010. The project aimed to assist growers who had adopted controlled traffic to re-establish a second crop ... -
Estimates of breeding value of sugarcane clones and their impact on efficient parent management and cross pollination : SRDC final report STU060
(2010)Sugarcane breeders in Australia use family trials from four regional programs to estimate breeding values of current parents. Genetic gain to the Australian sugarcane industry can be maximised through efficient parent ... -
Estimating disease-associated yield losses in breeding selection trials - Endemic diseases; Pachymetra root rot, orange rust and yellow spot
(BSES, 2007)Previous work has shown that plant improvement stage 3 selection trials can be used to assess the relationship between yield and disease resistance with particular Queensland endemic diseases - principally Pachymetra root ... -
Evaluate sugar beet for potential to produce sugar at Mackay Sugar Experiment Stations : final report TE93005
(BSES, 1993)Can sugar beet be profitably grown at Mackay? Sugar yields from beets are continuing to increase in overseas countries. Results from experiments at Kalamia Estate in the Burdekin area indicated that sugar beet out-yielded ... -
