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
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)This research project's objectives are: Development of PA fundamental training and resources Pilot the delivery of PA training to ensure a consistent and fundamental level of knowledge across agronomist and advisors within ... -
Implementing an integrated sugar system in NSW : Final report NSC005
(2006)The New South Wales Sugar Milling Co-operative’s (NSWSMC) move to whole cane harvesting for cogeneration will increase in-field haulout traffic by 30% with the potential for yield decline due to increased soil compaction. ... -
Implementing methods for wider industry adoption : SRDC final report CSE009
(2007)Many of the challenges that the sugarcane industry faces are complex systems issues and R&D addressing these issues requires the active participation of industry stakeholders. A deeper understanding of processes that ... -
Implementing zero-till planting systems in the NSW sugar industry
(2007)The project ‘Implementing Zero-Tillage Planting Systems in the NSW Sugar Industry’ aimed to introduce a direct drill billet planter to plant extensive areas of trial and commercial cane in the three mill areas of NSW. A ... -
Improved batch pan monitoring, control and optimization - a soft sensor approach : SRDC final project JCU018
(SRDC, 2001)Cane sugar is manufactured in process vessels called vacuum pans, which are closely supervised by operating personnel, known as pan boilers. Traditionally, the pan boiler’s job has been made easier through the use of a ... -
Improved environmental outcomes and profitability through innovative management of nitrogen SRDC research project CSE011 final report
(2008)Nitrogen (N) fertiliser additions are an important contributor to productivity and profitability in intensive farming systems, including sugarcane production. However, applying N increases losses of N to the environment, ... -
Improved harvesting efficiency in farming systems : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)The aim of the project was to achieve more efficient harvesting within our group. We monitored the harvesting effort for each paddock to determine the levels of paddock efficiency and increase awareness of the results. The ... -
Improved integrated resource planning in the Australian Sugar Industry : Final report CTA039
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2002)The Australian sugar industry is at the crossroads. Responding to the challenges that it faces requires technical, institutional and social innovation. In responding, the sugar industry requires a capacity to deal effectively ... -
Improved modelling of wet scrubbers : final report 2012/055
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)While wet scrubbers have high collection efficiency, operational problems associated with many wet scrubber installations reduce boiler steam output and, therefore, factory crushing rates. These problems include: -
Improved nitrogen use efficiency through accounting for deep soil and mineralisable N supply and deployment of EEF to better match crop N demand : final report RRDP1717
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020) -
Improved sugarcane farming systems : SRDC Final report BSS286
(2010)This project - Improved Sugarcane Farming Systems (BSS286) - was designed to build on the outcomes of phase 1 and 2 or the Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture (STDJV). Thus its main focus was on issues that had been identified ... -
Improved train safety through improved locomotive braking performance : SRDC final report QUT019
(Sugar Research Institute, 2009)The safe operation of the cane railway, in the same way as for mainline railways, is gaining greater attention. One important aspect of safe operation is the ability to stop a train in an acceptable distance (or time). ... -
Improvement of internal soil drainage and yield on heavy clay soils in the Herbert.
(2015)The Herbert consists of large areas of clay soils being approximately 60% of soils being sugarcane farmed within the region. These soils are usually nutritionally fertile; however yield potential is limited due to waterlogging. ... -
