(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2007)In 2004, the SRDC funded ‘Cultural Imprint’ project, a collaborative joint venture between CSR Sugar, CANEGROWERS Herbert River, the Australian Mechanical Cane Harvesters Association and BSES Ltd. The objectives of the ... -
Data-base and data handling programs for Plant Data Record
(BSES, 1981)The information contained in the BSES Plant Data Record is stored in computer data-bases for reporting and reference. Data for both the 1979 and 1980 seasons is stored at Bundaberg and reports for each of these years were ... -
Decision support for choice of enhanced efficiency fertilisers - Herbert catchment pilot study : Final report 2017/015
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEF) are of interest to the sugarcane industry because they have the potential to increase N use efficiency and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. However, agronomic and environmental benefits are ... -
Defeating the Autumn predictability barrier : SRDC Final report JCU027
(SRDC, 2009)The success of an Australian sugarcane cropping season depends on rainfall and the ability to forecast it. The benefits associated with long range rainfall forecasts to reduce the risk and uncertainty associated with ... -
Delivering a novel DNA-based diagnostic for root health to the sugar industry: final report 2015/042
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Plant root systems play many key roles including nutrients and water uptake, interface with soil microorganisms and resistance to lodging. Unfortunately, as for any other crop, large and systematic studies of sugarcane ... -
Delivering the capability to evaluate alternative cane supply arrangements across the sugar industry using a whole industry systems approach : SRDC Final report CTA0044
(SRDC, 2002)Increasing cost/price pressure has forced the Australian sugar industry to seek innovative avenues for increasing profitability. To address this, the industry saw opportunities for increasing productivity and hence ... -
Delivering web-based irrigation management : SRDC Final report BSS297
