Remote sensing-based precision agriculture tools for the sugar industry : SRDC Final report DPI021
(2013)
This project aimed to develop remote sensing applications that were both relevant and of commercial benefit to the Australian sugar industry and therefore adoptable. Such applications included the in season mapping of crop ...
Provision of improved varieties and pathology services for the Ord Sugar Industry : Final report CTA043
(2012)
This project was established to introduce and evaluate new sugarcane varieties into the Ord river Irrigation Area (ORIA), and to provide advice on pathology issues relating to the ORIA. Cultivars in the ORIA currently are ...
Enhancing efficiency and integration from field to factory in the Herbert : SRDC Final report
(2010)
The Herbert sugar region underwent major strategic change in the harvesting and transport sectors, which will involve $7M investment in siding rationalisation and a substantial reduction in the number of harvesting groups. ...
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 ...
Evaluation of genotypes for a controlled traffic farming system : SRDC Final report BSS296
(BSES, 2012)
The Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture concluded that, in order to improve soil health, the
sugar industry should break the monoculture using fallow legume crops, adopt controlled
traffic and reduce soil cultivation. ...
Cane grower implemented drying-off irrigation scheduling on the tablelands : SRDC Final report BSS304
(2010)
The project set out to develop simple measurement methods which could be implemented by cane growers to increase sucrose yields by indicating when to dry-off mature cane crops and when to provide additional irrigation due ...
Implementing a framework for farmers to engage in the use of Precision Technologies : Final report 2012/013
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
This research project's objectives are: Development of PA fundamental training and resources Pilot the delivery of PA training to ensure a consistent and fundamental level of knowledge across agronomist and advisors within ...
Development of a streamlined life cycle assessment (LCA) tool for assessing the environmental benefits of progressive cane growing : SRDC Final report UQ045
(SRDC, 2012)
The Australian sugar industry faces continuing expectations to demonstrate environmentally sustainable
sugarcane growing practices. This has been driven by moves to protect water quality (through the
Australian Government’s ...
How will climate change impact climate variability in sugarcane growing regions? : SRDC Final report JCU032
(SRDC, 2012)
Sugarcane is the fastest growing, largest biomass and highest sucrose accumulated agricultural crop today
that offers a valuable contribution to delivering a sustainable future (Skocaj, 2013). Aside from cereal crops, ...
Investigate skip row configuration in sugar cane: Final report GGP046
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)
The aim of the project was to compare a double skip row sugarcane system with
conventional solid plant on 1.8 m row spacing. Comparisons were made of productivity,
profitability and water relationships. The skip row ...
