Utilising available technology to better manage yield variability within blocks : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)The specific aim of this project was to gain information on the different layers of information collected at a block level to allow site specific crop management. The Blackburn Brothers have also investigated the farm ... -
Validation of fibre cropping in rotation with sugar cane by Mackay Fibre Producers : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)The ultimate aim of this project was to investigate the feasibility of improving the profitability, sustainability, and robustness of the sugar industry in the central region through the incorporation of fibre rotation ... -
Validation of LSB-PCR diagnostic for ratoon stunting disease and characterisation of non-Lxx strains of Leifsonia associated with sugarcane: final report 2014/086
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Ratoon stunting disease (RSD), caused by Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx), is a major disease of sugarcane worldwide. Diagnosis is problematic because RSD lacks specific external symptoms. This project adapted the LSB-PCR ... -
Validation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in sugarcane ESTs as useful genetic markers : SRDC final report ICB010
(2004)Sugarcane is one of the most important field crops grown in the tropics and subtropics. It possesses a highly complex genome, with multiple copies of a single gene present. Breeding of improved cultivars of sugarcane is ... -
Varietal control of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane
(BSES, 1990)Ratoon stunting disease, caused by the xylem-limited bacterium Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli, is prevalent in most sugarcane-producing countries, including Australia. It is regarded as the most damaging disease of sugarcane ... -
Viability of the seed of itch grass (Rottboellia cochinchinensis) in the Burdekin district
(BSES, 1990)Itch grass, raoul grass, or guinea fowl grass emerged as a problem weed of sugarcane fields in the Burdekin district of North Queensland during the late 1970s - early 1980s. It is considered to be a native of tropical ... -
Water consumption - growth relationships of the variety Q80
(2013)A drainage lysimeter was installed at Ayr Sugar Experiment Station, 1964 and after a settling-in period, planted to sugar cane 1965, to determine the amount of water used by cane and lost by evaporation from the soil during ... -
Water table monitoring in the Ord River Valley : SRDC Final report WAA001
(SRDC, 2020)Monitoring of groundwater levels has been undertaken in the Ord River Irrigation Area using a network of bores established on farms throughout the Stage I area. These bores, many of which were installed as part of this ... -
WATW? : Iterim and final report CGH001
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2007)The primary issue that the WATW? Project addressed was lack of representation of women across all sugar industry sectors, noticeable to all observers, including Government Census 2004. This lack of women’s perspective, and ... -
Whole-farm planning for management of varieties to maximise productivity and reduce losses from diseases : SRDC final report BSS294
(2009)The appropriate selection of sugarcane varieties is critical for maximising profitability and sustainability for both growers and millers in the Australian sugarcane industry. Growers are faced with many complex decisions ... -
WinRHIZO software for evaluating effects of farming systems on sugarcane root systems : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Sugarcane roots are notoriously difficult to study. The opaque nature of the soil matrix, large biomass, and ratooning habit of the crop make studying roots challenging. WinRHIZO is a specialist root analysis software ... -
Workshop on new technologies in sugarcane crop forecasting : SRDC Final report WS004
(2001)Work over the last 3 years in the Herbert Resource Information Centre has demonstrated that it is possible to use remotely sensed satellite imagery to produce a reasonably accurate crop forecast provided there is limited ... -
Writing for results : a practical workshop
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 1991)Our Writing for Results Workshop was designed as a follow-up to the workshop held in Mackay September 1991. In it we looked at the writing of project proposals in more detail and sharpened our skills in preparing informative, ... -
