Final report : SRDC project BSS198 : Improving nutrition management and recommendations by analysing historical soil analysis database
(2001)
The aim of this project was to improve and refine nutrient management in the Australian sugar industry using historical databases of soil test data in order to minimise off-site impacts and increase nutrient use efficiency. ...
Final report - SRDC project BSS106 : Assessing linkages between machine traffic, soil conditions and productivity
(2001)
The objectives of this project was to; 1: determine the effect of matching crop row spacing to harvester wheel track widths on longevity and yeild of ratoon crops planted in dual rows; 2: investigate the mechanism causing ...
Prediction and management of acidity production and export from acid sulphate soils used for sugar production final report SRDC Project DNR004
(2001)
The experimental design of this project successfully enabled runoff and groundwater drainage flow components to be distinguished in a cane-farming context at Pimpama, southeast Queensland. The majority of acidity exported ...
Sugar industry riparian management guidelines
(2001)
The sugar industry is responding to increasing external scrutiny by improving its environmental credentials. The Canegrowers Environmental Audit identified as s high priority the need for the industry to integrate sound ...
Impact of chopper harvesting on the translation of field CCS to factory realised CCS : SRDC final report SD01007
(BSES, 2001)
This project was designed to investigate the impact of chopper harvesting on CCS at the
mill relative to measured CCS levels of cane in the field, as part of the reason behind
declining CCS. Background for the project ...
An experimental study of boiling in calandria tubes : SRDC final report JCU021
(SRDC, 2001)
Raw sugar processing relies heavily on process equipment employing calandria-based heating systems to concentrate highly viscous sugar solutions, such as evaporators or vacuum pans. The design of these unit operations is ...
Upgrading load and speed limits for cane transport vehicles : SRDC final project report SD01004
(BSES, 2001)
The primary objective of this project was to reduce costs associated with the haulout of
cane by facilitating the continued development of haulout equipment, appropriate to the
needs of the industry.
This was achieved by:
Improved batch pan monitoring, control and optimization - a soft sensor approach : SRDC final project JCU018
(SRDC, 2001)
Cane sugar is manufactured in process vessels called vacuum pans, which are
closely supervised by operating personnel, known as pan boilers. Traditionally, the
pan boiler’s job has been made easier through the use of a ...
Towards long-term sustainability of sugarcane farming in the Johnstone River catchment
(2001)
Cane farmers are important stakeholders in the Johnstone River Catchment. Their engagement in the sustainability debate is essential, however, at times they appear to be isolated from it. The Johnstone River Catchment ...
An integrated decision support system (DSS) to improve the utilisation of productivity data by extension, research and productivity programs : final report BS182S
(2001)
Utilising previous research outcomes, a software application titled SUGARSCAPE was developed to provide extension, research and productivity staff within the Australian sugar industry a means of collating block and farm ...
