Accelerating precision agriculture to decision agriculture : a review of on-farm telecommunications challenges and opportunities in supporting a digital agriculture future for Australia
(University of New England, 2017)
This project is supported by funding from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources as part of its Rural R&D for Profit programme. The P2D project involves all Rural Research and Development ...
Accelerating precision agriculture to decision agriculture: the needs and drivers for the present and future of digital agriculture in Australia
(Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationCotton Research and Development Corporation, 2017)
The aim of the project was to benchmark Australian producers’ needs, perceived risks and benefits, and expectations associated with digital agriculture and big data context. Such understanding will inform strategies aimed ...
Developing remote sensing as an industry wide yield forecasting, nitrogen mapping and research aid : Final report 2013/025
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
The science of Earth Observation (EO) is a rapidly developing discipline that has seen an unprecedented rise in remote sensing technologies and application development, including those in agriculture. The Australian sugarcane ...
Modernisation of furrow irrigation in the sugar industry : Final report 2014/079
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Irrigation is an essential part of sugarcane production in many of the sugarcane regions in Australia. Like all agricultural industries, the Australian sugarcane industry is under continuous pressure to demonstrate that ...
Too wet to forget - reducing the impact of excessive rainfall on productivity : Final report 2014/046
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Too wet to forget – reducing the impact of excessive rainfall on productivity, was established due to
the large productivity losses associated with La-Nina events in the sugarcane industry. The effect of
waterlogging ...
Sensors for improved harvesting feedback: evaluation of suitability : Final report 2016/954
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
A feasibility study was conducted to investigate the value and application of sensors in the harvesting environment for improved feedback for quality and loss control. A desktop study, this project (a) investigated the ...
Improving industry returns through harvest best practice : Final report 2014/091
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
In NSW the perception was that in field harvesting losses were unacceptably high and were a result of poor harvesting practices (excessive ground and fan speeds), inadequate harvester set up (no toppers), poor crop ...
Understanding the effect of harvester speed on subsequent ratoon performance in the Burdekin : Final report 2014/092
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
In 2014 six harvester speed trials were established in the Burdekin to investigate the effect of harvester speed
on crop yields and subsequent ratooning, and the economics associated with harvesting at different ...
Evaluation of scheduling tools for the sugar industry : Final project 2015/082
(Cotton Research and Development Corporation, 2017)
This study was commissioned to Sugar Research Australia (SRA) and AgriTech Solutions to evaluate the irrigation scheduling tools in the sugar industry and assess the feasibility of using satellite imagery as part of a ...
An assessment of the potential of remote sensing based irrigation scheduling for sugarcane in Australia : Final report 2015/082
(Cotton Research and Development Corporation, 2017)
There is currently no operational method of managing irrigation in Australia’s sugar industry on the basis of systematic, direct monitoring of sugar plant physiology. Satellite remote sensing systems, having come a long ...
