Analysis of bagasses and trash utilisation options : SRDC final report QUT008
(SRDC, 2006)The range of potential value adding processes for bagasse and trash currently being considered by the industry is diverse. There is, therefore, an urgent need for a preliminary evaluation of the relative merits of these ... -
Analysis of field and factory options for efficient gathering and utilisation of trash from green cane harvesting : SRDC Final report BS157S
(2000)The objectives of this project were: to determine field costs for harvest\transport of cane with varying levels of cleaning by the harvester; to determine similar costs for field to factory transport; to establish the total ... -
Analysis of sugarcane productivity trends in the wet tropics at a district level : SRDC final report
(2001)This project provided an in-depth re-analysis of district level data for cane yield, sugar content, and sugar content per hectare for the mill districts of Mulgrave, Babinda, and Tully and an evaluation of the estimates ... -
Application of molecular markers to sugarcane breeding
(2006)The CRC SIIB marker application research aims to develop and evaluate ways to apply DNA markers to Australian sugarcane breeding programs to improve breeding, selection and fast release of high performing cultivars. This ... -
APSIM based determination of irrigation attributes and best use of limited water in supplementary irrigation areas of the Australian sugar industry
(2000)The current industry focus on improving irrigation efficiency has identified the need for a better understanding of the potential gains from irrigation and use of irrigation resources in many sugar producing regions. This ... -
Aspects of temporal N management in sugarcane in sub-tropical Queensland : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)The proximity of the Australian sugar industry to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has resulted in ongoing concerns about elevated concentrations of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the near-reef environments due to ... -
Assessing clonal and nitrogen interaction on ccs in sugarcane in the wet tropis ; SRDC project BSS180 final report
(2003)There has been a negative trend in CCS in the Tully-Mossman region since the mid-1960s that has been linked to increased extraneous matter and suckers in the cane supply. The situation had become particularly bad during ... -
Assessing the impact of biochar in the Herbert cane industry.
(2015)Biochar is the charred by-product of biomass pyrolysis, the heating of plant-derived material in the absence of oxygen in order to capture combustible gases. It is generally accepted that biochar is a highly stable form ... -
Assessing the impact that pathogen variation has on the sugarcane breeding program : SRDC final report BSS258
(BSES, 2005)In recent years, two fungal diseases of sugarcane have had a huge impact on the Australian sugar industry and the BSES CSIRO breeding and pathology programs. Sugarcane smut, caused by Ustilago scitaminea, first appeared ... -
Assessing the real nitrogen benefits to subtropical cane from soybean break crops : Final report 2016/404
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Soybeans grown as a break crop in subtropical cane rotations can fix substantial amounts of nitrogen (N), some N remains in residues even after the bulk of N has been removed in harvested beans. However, there is concern ... -
Assessment of aromatic compounds as strategic lures in a canegrub control program : SRDC final report BS34S
(BSES, 1991)Anethole, n-butyric acid, citral, citronellal, eucalyptus oil, eugenol, geraniol, hexanoic acid, hexan-1-ol, 3-hexen-1-ol, 1-nonanol, pentanoic acid, phenol, sorbic acid and the standard Trece Japanese beetle floral lure ... -
Assessment of bulk segregant analysis and marker- assisted selection for economically important traits in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS138
(1998)The main aim of this project was to assess the feasibility of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and marker-assisted selection for important traits in sugarcane. The target trait for this feasibility study was rust resistance. ... -
Assessment of investment by in selected projects : Final report SRD007
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2006)The Sugar Research & Development Corporation (SRDC) required benefit-cost analyses (BCAs) to be undertaken on six of their recently completed investments. Information from the original project proposal, milestone reports, ... -
Assessment of new soft cane varieties : final report 2015/081
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)The project objectives were to: experimentally determine whether extraneous matter affects the fibre quality parameters measured by SRA; experimentally determine whether the commercial cane preparation process affects the ... -
Assessment of NutriSmart, a new environmentally friendly fertiliser in the Herbert River sugar-growing region
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2006)"In recent years Australian cane growers have sought to maintain viability and world competitiveness in an increasingly tougher export market environment by adopting new farming practises which are more profitable and ... -
Assessment of the potential of sex pheromones as strategic lures for the control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS17S
(BSES, 1991)Sex pheromones were shown to be emitted by females of Antitrogus consanguineus, A. parvulus and L. picticollis. Attraction of males of L. picticollis to females of A. consanguineus shows that the compound or compounds ... -
Assessment of various food constituents as feeding attractants for canegrubs in a pest control program : SRDC final report BS35S
