(University of New England, 2017)This project is supported by funding from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources as part of its Rural R&D for Profit programme. The P2D project involves all Rural Research and Development ... -
Accelerating precision agriculture to decision agriculture: the needs and drivers for the present and future of digital agriculture in Australia
(Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationCotton Research and Development Corporation, 2017)The aim of the project was to benchmark Australian producers’ needs, perceived risks and benefits, and expectations associated with digital agriculture and big data context. Such understanding will inform strategies aimed ... -
Accurate and consistent bed forming to promote better farming practices
(2007)Executive Summary:The aim of the project was to establish an economic and sustainable way of forming beds in our area to aid the sustainability of the SYDJV. Key results from our project were economic and environmental ... -
Achieving the world's best practice harvesting and transport costs for the NSW sugar industry
(2007)This project set out to develop innovative techniques for cane supply management within the NSW Sugar Milling Co-operative Ltd (NSWSMC), assess and promote harvester group optimisation within the NSW industry and to aim ... -
Acid sulfate soils in canegrowing regions of northern New South Wales
(1995)Acid sulfate subsoils contain iron pyrites (FeS2). Pyrites is stable under anaerobic (saturated) conditions, but when oxidised forms sufuric acid and releases mobile Fe2+ ion. Soil pH can be reduced to as low as 2 and ... -
Acquisition of Fiji disease virus by Perkinsiella saccharicida kirk and observations on its instars
(BSES, 1984)The first, second and third instars of Perkinsiella saccharicida were the only stages which transmitted Fiji disease virus to healthy Q70 plants after a 48 hour access feed on diseased plants. A key to distinguish the ... -
Adapting soybean for profitable rotations in sugarcane farming systems : SRDC Final report
(2005)Cropping of soybean has been shown by the yield decline joint venture to increase the yield of the following sugar crop by 15 to 30 percent. One impediment to the increase of soybean in sugarcane production systems is that ... -
Adopting systems approaches to water and nutrient management for future cane production in the Burdekin SRDC Research Project CSE020 final report
(2008)There is concern about environmental impacts of cropping in catchments of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, especially losses of nitrogen (N) and herbicides from cropping systems. Sugarcane production in the Burdekin region ... -
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased industry profitability : SRDC Final report BSS264
(BSES, 2007)The project aimed to maximise commercial cane sugar (CCS), sugar yields (TSPH) and industry profitability in the Herbert region by exploiting regional variation in CCS, soil moisture and trafficability. There is ... -
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased profitability; findings from the 2004 industry survey : Final report
(2004)There is a large potential to increase total sugar production, individual grower and district CCS through better management of harvesting scheduling. Change management will be best implemented through active participation ... -
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased profitability; findings from the 2006 'maximising profitability in the Herbert sugar industry workshop' : Final report BSS264
(2006)In 2003, the Herbert sugar industry established an industry working team to investigate ways to manage the harvest and processing of larger crops and investigate methods of increasing industry profitability. In 2004 SRDC ... -
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) recommends that harvesters maintain pour rates of 80-90 t/h, depending on make and model, and recommends extractor-fan speed guidelines that ensure minimal cane loss with low extraneous ... -
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : final report 2016/955
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives: 1. Determining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields improved to achieve the best economic return for ... -
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : Final report 2019/951
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Patane (et al. 2019) determined that Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives. 1. Defining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields improved to ... -
Advanced computer simulation of sugar factories - SysCAD : revised final report 2010/040
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)This project aims to develop a highly adaptable 'whole of sugar factory' process model that includes the capability to incorporate a variety of adjunct processing options e.g. cogeneration, biofuel production from molasses, ... -
Advancing Australian sugarcane farming systems : Final report 2013/803
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)Vertical tillage principles were discussed vigorously at each strip tillage company visited. Most notably the presentation given by Jerry Hatfield from Iowa State University gave the group a thorough understanding of why ... -
Advancing yield, disease resistance and ratooning by exploiting new sources of genetic variability from wild relatives of sugarcane : phase 1
(2017)This project was originally planned and designed for six years to allow collection of data over 2 or 3 ratoon crops. In this first phase of the project, all propagations and trials were well established and good quality ... -
