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 ...
Development and testing of a SNP marker platform in sugarcane : final report 2012/025
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Marker assisted selection is being used in many industries to develop new and improved crops. This
project sought to develop a selection tool for the Australian sugarcane industry by developing a set
of DNA markers ...
Maximising the rate of parental improvement in the Australian Sugarcane Breeding Program : final report 2008/319
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Parental improvement is an integral and key component in commercial genetic improvement programs. Its importance has not been fully realised, and even ignored in SRA Sugarcane Breeding Programs around the world, partly due ...
New germplasm to develop more productive varieties with enhanced resistance to nematodes, pachymetra root rot and smut : final report 2011/344
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Sugarcane industries around the world were transformed in the early 1900s when Dutch plant breeders working in Indonesia, and Indian breeders, working independently, developed sugarcane varieties derived from the wild ...
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : final report 2014/054
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Production peaked in the Herbert River mills in 2005 at 5.5 Mt, and in 2015 was 4.5 Mt. Cane and sugar yields during this period have also been below average, particularly in 2011, and significant areas went from growing ...
Starch accumulation in sugarcane in response to stress
(ASSCT, 2016)
Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a new problem affecting the Australian sugar industry. It was first reported in 2012 and has increased in occurrence and spread from the initial reports in North Queensland to further south ...
Profit based measures to capture, evaluate and prioritise genetic improvement of water use efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency in sugarcane : final report 2014/302
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Sugar Research Australia (SRA) contracted AbacusBio Pty Ltd with IDA Economics Pty Ltd to undertake a systems modelling project to estimate the relative economic value of two potential new performance traits of sugarcane ...
The fast fluorescence kinetics; a sensitive tool for early detection of water stress in sugarcane : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)
Water stress is a major constraint for sugarcane production in many regions of the
world, including Australia. Sensitive and non-destructive early measurement of the crop
response to water stress would be of great value ...
A boiler simulator for improved operator training : final report 2016/001
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
A boiler simulator training package ready for use by industry has been developed during this project.
After some fine tuning to accommodate site specific details and interaction with existing factory
control systems (if ...
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)
Production peaked in the Herbert River mills in 2005 but since then productivity has declined. Analysis of mill data in the Herbert has successfully identified groups of farms with similar productivity over time and the ...
