Identification of resistance mechanisms in sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra : SRDC final report BS79S
(BSES, 1999)Project objectives- Develop techniques for studying the biochemical reactions of sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical mechanisms of infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical changes produced in ... -
Identification of unknown root pathogens responsible for sugarcane yield decline : SRDC final report BS73S
(BSES, 1996)Sugarcane yield decline (YD) is characterised by poor root development ( a lack of fine root growth, root discolouration) and poor root health. Previous YD research implicated the involvement of unrecognised pathogens in ... -
Identifying management zones within cane paddocks: an essential foundation for precision sugarcane agriculture : SRDC Final report BPS001
(2011)Variability in plant growth across spatial zones within sugarcane crops arises from the complex interactions of soil nutritional status, soil physical properties (especially soil texture), surface and subsurface drainage, ... -
Impact of application depth and slot closure on runoff losses of imidacloprid
(ASSCT, 2020)Imidacloprid represents the Australian sugar industry’s best canegrub-management tool, but it has been detected in many water bodies, including groundwater, creeks, rivers and marine environments, posing a potential risk ... -
Impact of chopper harvesting on the translation of field CCS to factory realised CCS : SRDC final report SD01007
(BSES, 2001)This project was designed to investigate the impact of chopper harvesting on CCS at the mill relative to measured CCS levels of cane in the field, as part of the reason behind declining CCS. Background for the project ... -
Impact of nutgrass on sugarcane yield
(BSES, 2011)Research carried out in Mackay over 2009-2010 in plant cane confirmed the impact of nutgrass competition on sugarcane yield and profitability. Trials were conducted on both dryland and irrigated sites, with similar yield ... -
Implement supervisory/advisory control of pan and fugal stations : final report 2010/038
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015) -
Implementation of a 2M farming system : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project Final report
(2008)The SYDJV with research conducted over some fourteen years, recommended the adoption of a new farming system based on controlled traffic, minimum tillage, and break cropping. Cane harvesters and associated haul out equipment ... -
Implementation of controlled traffic farming of sugarcane in the Herbert River district : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project Final report GGP003
(SRDC, 2007)The Pinnacle Precision Farming (PPF) Group was formed with the goal of implementing and benefiting from the principals of controlled traffic farming using techniques being used by the Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture ... -
Implementation of improved sugarcane farming systems in the Clare area, Burdekin District, North Queensland : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project Final report
(2007)The MIG was interested to quantify the benefits of moving from their current 1.52m row configuration to a row configuration that better matches tractors, harvesters and haulage equipment using GPS technology. As a result ... -
Implementation of irrigation practices for profitable resource efficient sugarcane production in the Ord : Final report CSE007
(SRDC, 2006)Sugarcane is currently the major crop in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) in terms of area, occupying approximately 4000 hectares or a third of the irrigable area. It is also possible that further expansion could ... -
Implementation of management strategies for control of sugarcane weevil borer in far north Queensland : SRDC final report BSS224
(BSES, 2002)Sugarcane weevil borers are an introduced pest of sugarcane from New Guinea. They cause significant losses to ccs and may contribute to production of poor quality sugar crystals. The adoption of pre-harvest burning of ... -
Implementation of sensitive pathogen indexing methods in sugarcane quarantine : SRDC final report BSS187
(BSES, 2000)BSES provides a quarantine service primarily for sugarcane plant breeding, allowing safe intrastate and international exchange of germplasm. The aim of this project was to develop or obtain, and implement in quarantine, ... -
Implementation of the Rocky Point Strategic Plan as a model for local area industry development : SRDC Final report BSS247
(2002)The Rocky Point Strategic Plan was initiated as a direct result of concern from both growers and the sugar mill about the future viability of the local industry. The aim was to follow a similar procedure to the Maryborough ... -
Implementing a framework for farmers to engage in the use of Precision Technologies : Final report 2012/013
