Interactive web-based material to support FMS : Farm Management Systems for the Sugar Cane Industry, sub-program 1
(2005)An interactive web-based toolset was developed to support the Australian sugar industry’s Farm Management System (FMS) program. Primary issues that were addressed in this sub-program included the provision of a system to ... -
Introgression of new genes from Saccharum officinarum
(SRDC, 2004)Modern sugarcane cultivars are derived from two main ancestral species: Saccharum officinarum, which is the main source of high sucrose levels, and S. spontaneum. Only a small number of clones of either species have ever ... -
Investigate skip row configuration in sugar cane: Final report GGP046
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)The aim of the project was to compare a double skip row sugarcane system with conventional solid plant on 1.8 m row spacing. Comparisons were made of productivity, profitability and water relationships. The skip row ... -
Investigating losses from green and burnt cane harvesting conditions : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2020)Despite much research into the impact of high harvester pour rates and fan speeds on harvested cane yields, there has been low adoption of HBP (harvesting best practice) across the industry. Full adoption across the ... -
Investigating marketing strategies for sugar and other crops and alternative cropping by the Mackay district young farmers' group : SRDC Final report BSS292
(2006)This aims of this project were to investigate and develop a better understanding of: Marketing strategies utilised in the sugar industry and other options; Marketing strategies utilised in other industries (particularly ... -
Investigating renewable feedstocks such as (Hibiscus Cannabis – Kenaf and Crotalaria Juncea – Sunn Hemp) for generation at Mackay Sugar Limited : final report GGP063
(BSES, 2014)As the Australian sugar industry embarks on the opportunity to value add from its waste streams our industry will become more sustainable into the future. This project has investigated the opportunity to replace the ... -
Investigating the corrosivity of evaporator condensates and the contributing factors : final report 2020/204
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)Recent studies of steam efficient evaporator stations in Australian factories have shown that sucrose degradation and the subsequent formation of acids in the juice produces final evaporator condensates of low pH (sometimes ... -
Investigation of lignin biosynthesis in sugarcane for improved lignocellulosic ethanol production: final report 2010/068
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)Second generation bioethanol is a renewable energy resource produced from lignocellulosic biomass with the potential to reduce reliance on oil-based energy. Sugarcane bagasse is an abundant source of lignocellulosic material ... -
Investigation of mangrove dieback Pioneer River Estuary, Mackay
(2002)This report discusses the results of an investigation to establish a potential cause of the mangrove dieback that has occurred within the Pioneer River estuary and Bassett Basin, Mackay, Central Queensland from 1998 to ... -
Investigation of the limits to high density planting : SRDC Final report BSS212
(2002)Plant-density trials were successful in demonstrating the effect of row spacing and withinrow plant spacing on cane yield. Increasing plant density resulted in an increase in cane yield and stalk numbers at harvest. Cane ... -
Investment analyses for the Managing Climate Variability Program
(2007)The Managing Climate Variability Program (MCVP) managed by Land and Water Australia (LWA) is scheduled to be completed by June 2007. In accord with LWA policy, the impact of the program required assessment and the impacts ... -
Irrigation risk management strategies to reduce water use and maximize profitability; a paradigm shift in performance to $ per unit of water : Final report CTA038
(SRDC, 2003)The Australian sugar industry is predisposed to maximize the benefits of irrigation because of its geographic and climatic location. However mistakes of older irrigation schemes elsewhere in Australia, need to be ... -
Irrigation water use in the Eton irrigation scheme
(1994)The objectives of the survey were: to determine irrigation management strategies used by the canegrowers; to determine water use efficiency for individual blocks; and to identify irrigation practices which affect water use ... -
Is magnesium deficiency a causal agent of sugarcane Yellow Canopy Syndrome? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a disorder affecting sugarcane in the Australian industry, the cause of which is unknown. This paper reviews YCS research focusing on magnesium imbalance as a possible cause of the condition. ... -
Keeping our chemicals in their place – In the field
(2021-07-01)This project specifically examined whether off-site movement of pesticides could be managed through the use of a range of tools and techniques including adjuvants, product formulations, product placement and application ... -
Key factors in control of Greyback Canegrub populations : SRDC final report BS120S
(BSES, 1998)Greyback canegrub outbreaks with severe losses in sugar production have persisted for more than six years in the Burdekin district, but population densities of the pest have declined at locations in the Herbert Valley, ... -
Knowledge of sugarcane physiology and climate-crop-soil interactions : SRDC final report
(2003)Compared to other crops, knowledge of growth mechanisms in sugarcane is inadequate. The question arises as to how much longer can we continue to prosper from sugarcane if knowledge of the growth processes on which our ... -
Land and Water Management Plan drafting tools for the Farming Management System framework
(2005)During the development of the Sugar FMS program it became apparent that Queensland Government requirements for Land and Water Management Plans were becoming an increasingly significant business concern for many cane growers. ... -
