Facilitate the accessibility of productivity data by sugarcane farm managers through the SUGARSCAPE productivity software application : SRDC Final report BSS248
(2001)Utilising previous research outcomes, a utility was added to the SUGARSCAPE software application to export productivity data and farm map data to common file types. The purpose of this export utility was to provide a ... -
Facilitating enhanced peanut / sugarcane rotations by assessing and managing the issues related to growing peanuts : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)Rotation cropping has been identified by the Sugar Yield decline Joint Venture (SYDJV) as a critical tool in addressing decline in the Australian sugar industry. Previous research demonstrates that when break crops are ... -
Facilitating the commercialisation of products from GM sugarcane : communications plan
(2007)This project addresses the knowledge gap of how management affects soil biological processes. This is important because management has to maximise soil health and nutrient relations. Knowledge of soil biology in context ... -
Facilitation of best practice to reduce extraneous matter and cane loss : SRDC Final report BSS189
(2002)Green cane harvesting and trash blanketing are important agronomic production techniques in the northern sugar producing areas. Cane losses are accepted to be higher with green cane harvesting and extraneous matter levels ... -
Factors affecting cane farm productivity and profitability in the Bundaberg district
(1993)At the request of the Bundaberg Cane Productivity Committee, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries carried out a study to identify factors affecting the level of sugar yields and reasons for variation in the level ... -
Factors affecting the distribution of the vine species in sugarcane: results of GIS surveys in Central Queensland
(ASSCT, 2015)Extracted from the Proceedings of the Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technology, Volume 37, 2015. -
Factors affecting the incidence of and damage caused by weevil borers : SRDC final report BS151S
(BSES, 1998)This study has shown that sampling billets for weevil borer damage through the extraneous matter system of a sugar mill gives reliable data as it supports in field data collected by BSES. These data may allow the simple ... -
Factors affecting the sugar content of sugar cane in the wet tropics of Queensland: statistical analysis of ccs data at Babinda and Tully
(BSES, 1972)In the wet tropics, the sugar content of crops is usually below the state's average and is a critical factor in farm economy, particularly during years of low sugar prices. This aspect of sugar production has been the ... -
Factors influencing populations of Eumargarodes laingi and promargarodes spp. in sugarcane at Bundaberg and derivation of sequential sampling plans
(BSES, 1992)A survey of the margarodids Eumargarodes laingi Jakubski and Promargarodes spp. in sugarcane was carried out at Bundaberg. E. laingi cyst numbers were influenced by soil type; Promargarodes spp. numbers did not differ ... -
Factory scale trials with laser produced stainless steel screens : Bingera mill 1987 season
(BSES, 1987)The main objective in the tests carried out at Bingera was to compare the performance of two adjacent, similar, BMA K1000 centrifugals, one of which was fitted with a new set of standard Cr-Ni screens, and the other with ... -
Far North Queensland Sugar Industry Task Force (FNQSITF) : Final report SN002
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2002)The Far North Queensland Sugar Industry Task Force (FNQSITF) was formed on the 16th June 2000 when it held its first meeting. Its objectives were to plan and implement ways of improving the situation in the sugar industry ... -
Farm assessment of productivity limits in the wet tropics : SRDC Final report BSS159
(2000)There is an ongoing concern in the wet tropics over productivity levels, particularly with regard to low CCS. Previously, productivity trends within the region have been assessed utilising mill area statistics (Smith, ... -
Farm business management for the Queensland Sugar Industry : SRDC Final report BS136S
(1999)The objectives of the project were to: train a core group of sugar industry staff in the principles and skills of FBM; develop appropriate technology for the extension of FBM advice to canefarmers; trial, evaluate and ... -
Farm health and safety tools for the Sugar FMS framework : Final report FMS008
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2006)The main issue being addressed by this project was a practical need for workplace health and safety (WHS) information specific to the sugar industry, a complex issue only lightly addressed within the environmentally ... -
Farm management systems training course : Farm Management Systems for the Sugarcane Industry, Sub-program 3
(2007)The Farm Management Systems suite of projects came about in response to an increasing need for grower resources and demonstrated capacity to manage the environmental pressures of profitable cane farming. In total 5 projects ... -
Farming systems for green cane trash blankets in cool wet conditions : SRDC final report BS63S
(1998)The three year project to evaluate different farming systems for green cane trash blanketing in cool wet conditions was directed at; evaluating the effect of different trash management practices on crop growth; evaluating ... -
Farming systems that optimise the control of greyback canegrubs by BioCane� : SRDC final report BSS226
(BSES, 2002)The carry-over of BioCane from one crop to the next is likely to be affected by soil cultivation during seedbed preparation. Metarhizium spores were concentrated in the rows in ratoon crops, either as spores surviving ... -
