Scoping study - remote sensing of sugarcane leaf diseases : FSRDC final report BSS295
(BSES, 2006)
Estimation of the incidence of sugarcane leaf diseases in the Australian sugar industry is largely confined to subjective estimates by Cane Productivity Services personnel. Resistance ratings for leaf diseases are applied ...
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 ...
SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report Precision spot spraying system: it works in grains will it work in cane?
(BSES, 2009)
This project set out to test the suitability of new technology for precision herbicide application in sugarcane. WeedSeeker® sensors have been successfully used in broadacre situations; with individual case studies reporting ...
Integrated pest management of soldier fly : SRDC final report BSS160
(BSES, 2001)
Soldier flies are a serious soil-dwelling pest of cane, and there is no insecticidal control available. In large-plot trials, numbers of soldier fly larvae in plant and first ratoon crops were lower after a long fallow, ...
Overcoming barriers to controlled traffic adoption : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)
At the commencement of this project, the available solutions for keeping harvesting traffic centred on wider row spacings while adequately filling cane bins are not effective. This was due to unsuitable harvester elevator ...
Nutrient management from variable rate technology in a control traffic system by the Oakenden Grower Group : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)
The aim of the project is to determine the benefits of nutrient management system in a controlled traffic farming enterprise in an environmentally sustainable manner. The project will determine the cost benefits by comparing ...
Improving soil health in undulating, dryland farms in the Central region : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2009)
The project sought to: Improve the condition of soil for the following cane crop by introducing break crops; Investigate zero tillage options in undulating soil conditions to reduce erosion; Compare the benefits of different ...
Development of a precision mill mud applicator for a new farming system : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)
This aim was to construct an innovative mill mud spreader capable of accurately applying mill mud in a narrow band between 2m dual rows. The group postulated that applying mill mud in a band would increase the area that a ...
Electronic logbook for harvest record keeping : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)
The main project aims were to develop an electronic harvester logging system that would be user friendly and reduce the requirements for manual entry of data. The information collected was then collated and reported to the ...
Optimising benefits of GPS integration into controlled traffic farming (CTF) system : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)
The modification of the haulout has been completed and been in operation for the 2007 harvesting season. The aim of the project was to primarily reduce the compacted area on the ends of the rows during the turning around ...
