Cane supply options analysis for maximising whole industry profitability : SRDC Final report MSA001
(SRDC, 2001)Opportunities exist for increasing industry profitability in the Mackay region through alternative cane supply schedules that exploit differences in CCS and cane yield at harvest date, found across the Mackay region and ... -
CANEGROWERS strategy for women and teams : Final report CMC001
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2007)This report outlines the results of a project to address the issue of women in leadership roles with the sugar industry in Queensland. The aim of the project was to increase participation of women and other members of ... -
Canegrowing and sustainability - a survey of Australian cane growers with particular reference to the Code of Practice for Sustainable Cane Growing in Queensland : final report BSS238
(2000)The sustainable management of soil and water resources is crucial both for the productivity of sugarcane growing and for the protection of the environment. Canegrowers recognise the importance of maintaining the condition ... -
Canegrub resistant plants containing antimetabolic compounds : SRDC final report BSS163
(BSES, 2000)Transgenic sugarcane plants engineered to express either the potato proteinase inhibitor II or the snowdrop lectin gene show increased antibiosis to larvae of Antitrogus consanguineus in pot-based glasshouse trials.Canegrubs ... -
Changes in summer rainfall and implications for agriculture : final report B.CCH.2111
(Meat and Livestock Australia Limited, 2021)Annual and seasonal rainfall are important drivers of agricultural productivity and profitability in Australian agriculture and various climatological and synoptic drivers influence rainfall patterns in Australia’s diverse ... -
Characterisation and maintenance of the Australian sugarcane mapping populations
(BSES, 2003)There were two major aims to this project. The first was to identify markers linked to major diseases of sugarcane that were difficult and expensive to select for. The second objective was to determine the cross-transferability ... -
Characterisation of proteinase inhibitors from canegrubs for possible application to genetically engineer pest-derived resistance into sugarcane : SRDC final report STU032
(2005)The primary objective of this research was to identify, isolate and clone a proteinase inhibitor from the haemolymph of a canegrub species with activity against the major midgut proteases of the source insect. The potential ... -
Chicory herbicide trial : final report 2212
(BSES, 2002)Chicory is currently a commercially cultivated root crop mainly grown in Belgium. Small areas of Chicory for Whitlof production are grown in Australia mainly in the state of Victoria. The objective of this project was ... -
Chlorotic streak disease in Queensland
(BSES, 1995)Chlorotic streak is a disease of unknown etiology affecting 30-50,000 ha of caneland in Queensland annually. The disease is present in all canegrowing districts but is of greatest incidence in the Herbert River and Rocky ... -
Chlorotic streak disease of sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS243
(BSES, 2002)Chlorotic streak is a disease recognised since 1929 and is widespread through the cane growing countries of the world. Despite considerable research, particularly in the 1940-1970 period, the causal agent of the disease ... -
Chlorotic streak resistance screening in the Tully district
(ASSCT, 2016)CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) was first recognised more than 85 years ago and is present in most cane-growing countries around the world. An important management strategy is the use of resistant varieties; past research ... -
Chlorotic streak transmission and crop dynamics research
(ASSCT, 2016)CHLOROTIC STREAK DISEASE (CSD) is transmitted in water, specifically drainage, flood or irrigation water. Research showed that transmission in water was increased by the addition of oxytetracyline (Terramycin). A two-hour ... -
Chop-throw; a potential driver for the next generation of pneumatic cleaning systems : SRDC Final report BS52S
(2000)The objective of this project was to determine if the chop-throw concept offered potential for high efficiency pneumatic cleaning systems, by virtue of the inherently high efflux velocities and billet presentation from the ... -
Clean Cane Workshop 2000 : SRDC final report
(SRDC, 2000)The Corporation has identified clean cane as a strategic issue that transcends several of its programs of research. -
Climate change and the Australian Sugarcane Industry : impacts, adaptation and R&D opportunities
(2008)Australia is facing continuing climate change (IPCC 2007). The Agriculture and Food Policy Reference Group (2006) considers that without adequate preparation, climate change could have serious implications for sustainable ... -
Climate ready sugarcane : traits for adaptation to high CO2 levels
(2014)Recent work in Brazil and Florida had shown strong responses of sugarcane to elevated CO2, even under well-watered conditions. These results were not expected from current understanding of leaf physiology, given that ... -
Close-range, microwave radar for automatic control of base-cutter height and other cane harvester operations : SDRC Final report JCU019
(SRDC, 2002)The harvesting of sugar cane is the first stage in the commercial milling of cane to produce sugar. It is well known that harvesting plays a major role in determining the overall efficiency of the sugar production process. ... -
Combining weed efficacy, economics and environmental considerations for improved herbicide management in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area
(Science of the Total Environment, 2020)The current Australian sugarcane industry transition toward adoption of an ‘alternative’ herbicide strategy as part of improved environmental stewardship is increasingly complicated by recent farming system, regulatory and ... -
