Incentive price harvesting signals versus traditional payment system : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)Is to help farmers with the transition from the traditional way that they have paid for their cane to be harvested to an incentive pricing system that related to their farm layout and the management of the cane harvested ... -
Incidence and economic effects of ratoon stunting disease on the Queensland sugarcane industry : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) has had a significant influence on productivity and profitability in the Australian sugarcane industry for at least the last 76 years. There have been few attempts to objectively quantify ... -
Increased adoption of efficient sustainable irrigation practices by Australian canegrowers : SRDC Final report BS127S
(1997)SRDC funded the three-year project 'Increased Adoption of Efficient, Sustainable Irrigation Practices by Australian Canegrowers in July 1994. The broad objectives of the project were to; Determine perceived limits to ... -
Increased productivity through better design and management of irrigated canefields : SRDC Final report BS90S
(1996)This project has obtained, for the first time, data on the performance and efficiency of furrow irrigated canefields. In particular, it has shown the water application efficiencies on high infiltration soils it is generally ... -
Increased profitability and water use efficiency through best use of limited water under supplementary irrigation : SRDC Final report CSE001
(SRDC, 2005)The objectives of this project towards increased profitability and water use efficiency was to: -
Increasing in-mill NIR effectiveness and communicating data to all sectors for improved decision making in the sugarcane value chain : SRDC Final report CSR038
(2009)In 2005 Mackay Sugar introduced changes to their cane payment formula that primarily used Near Infra Red (NIR) data as the basis for grower payments. The cane payment system was based on the principle of sharing risks and ... -
Increasing irrigation efficiencies in the Australian Sugar Industry : Final report BSE2
(1997)Over 20 furrow irrigation sites on the Burdekin Delata were monitored by sugarcane growers for water use through the 1995/96 and 1996/97 seasons. Irrigation efficiencies varied from less than 20% to nearly 70%. Demonstration ... -
Increasing productivity and profitablity in soldierfly-affected crops in the Pioneer Valley : SRDC Grower Group innovation project
(BSES, 2008)The aim of our project is to find a way to reduce the effect soldier fly has on a sugar cane crop and to reduce soldier fly numbers. On farm trials are being conducted after consulting entomologists that have experience ... -
Increasing sugar recovery through improved mill sanitation and biocide application : final report 2020/203
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)Undetermined sucrose loss during the processing of sugarcane to sugar is estimated between 1-2%, being a large financial loss to the industry. Microbial infection of sugarcane juice is from the microorganisms that enter ... -
Increasing the capacity to identify and action value chain integration opportunities
(2005)This report provides a review of the past value chain sugar research in Australia and other countries, and formulates key messages that the Australian industry can learn upon for future value chain activities. Compared to ... -
Influence of harvester basecutters on ratooning of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BSS123
(2005)Current single row mechanical sugarcane harvesters use twin rotary basecutters with multiple blades to produce an impact cut in the stalk at or near ground level. However, the cane stubble is often damaged during harvesting, ... -
Inheritance of Fiji disease resistance
(BSES, 1981)Various projects have been conducted in recent years to study the inheritance of resistance to Fiji disease. In this report the results of these studies are presented and the implications for the plant breeding programme ... -
Inheritance of resistance to pachymetra root rot : SRDC final report BS27S
(BSES, 1994)Genetical resistance to root pathogens is a sensible strategy for disease control in a perennial crop such as sugarcane. Pachymetra root rot is a serious disease in Queensland and can cause losses of 30-40% in susceptible ... -
Innovation in disease management; where to next : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)New technologies offer considerable scope for the refinement of disease management in the Australian sugarcane industry. While resistant cultivars, disease-free plant sources, crop termination and quarantine have provided ... -
Innovative approaches to identifying the cause of chlorotic streak and new management strategies : final report 2013/357
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Chlorotic streak is one of the major diseases in the Australian sugar industry. The disease occurs in areas of high rainfall and poorly drained fields and is a limitation to productivity, particularly during seasons that ... -
Innovative farmers in the Herbert : Environmental protection agency project final report
