Cane supply options analysis for maximising whole industry profitability : SRDC Final report MSA001
(SRDC, 2001)
Opportunities exist for increasing industry profitability in the Mackay region through alternative cane supply schedules that exploit differences in CCS and cane yield at harvest date, found across the Mackay region and ...
Improvements in base cutter design and cane feeding : Final report NCE004
(SRDC, 2002)
This project followed on from Project US2 (Cutting of sugarcane), which showed that
conventional basecutters and knockdown angles contributed to cane damage and loss by
way of disk contact, multiple layered cuts and ...
Enhanced delivery of PROSPER to achieve adoption of best management practices in the Queensland Sugar Industry : SRDC Final report BSS260
(2006)
The late 1990s and early 2000s saw declining productivity and profitability within the Australian sugar industry. This decline was driven by a combination of adverse climatic conditions, declining terms of trade, pest and ...

(2006)
Research in phase 2 has greatly increased our understanding of how farming systems operate, the key components of farming systems, and how they can be manipulated to provide better outcomes.
Increased profitability and water use efficiency through best use of limited water under supplementary irrigation : SRDC Final report CSE001
(SRDC, 2005)
The objectives of this project towards increased profitability and water use efficiency was to:
Influence of harvester basecutters on ratooning of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BSS123
(2005)
Current single row mechanical sugarcane harvesters use twin rotary basecutters with multiple blades to produce an impact cut in the stalk at or near ground level. However, the cane stubble is often damaged during harvesting, ...
Irrigation risk management strategies to reduce water use and maximize profitability; a paradigm shift in performance to $ per unit of water : Final report CTA038
(SRDC, 2003)
The Australian sugar industry is predisposed to maximize the benefits of irrigation because of
its geographic and climatic location. However mistakes of older irrigation schemes elsewhere
in Australia, need to be ...
Review, analysis and discussion of precision agriculture technologies : SRDC Final report NCA009
(2007)
The development of a range of new technologies has brought agriculture and agricultural equipment to a whole new level of sophistication. First hypothesised in the early 1990’s, Precision Agriculture (PA) is a crop management ...
Implementation of irrigation practices for profitable resource efficient sugarcane production in the Ord : Final report CSE007
(SRDC, 2006)
Sugarcane is currently the major crop in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) in terms of area, occupying
approximately 4000 hectares or a third of the irrigable area. It is also possible that further expansion could ...
Regional evaluation of high density planting : SRDC Final report BSS241
(2003)
This project was successful in comparing two farming systems: conventional 1.52-m single rows and the High Density Planting system (HDP), which consists of four rows on a 2.1-m wide bed using controlled-traffic and ...
