Spatially explicit estimation of Achievable Yield Potential – An improved basis for fertilizer management: final report 2015/070
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Current practice in implementing the SIX EASY STEPS (6ES) is to use the ‘district yield potential’ (DYP) to guide development of nitrogen (N) fertilizer recommendations. However, because both land (soil, topography) and ...
Delivering a novel DNA-based diagnostic for root health to the sugar industry: final report 2015/042
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Plant root systems play many key roles including nutrients and water uptake, interface with soil microorganisms and resistance to lodging. Unfortunately, as for any other crop, large and systematic studies of sugarcane ...
Role of controlled release fertilizer in Australian sugarcane systems: final report 2014/011
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Controlled release fertilisers (CRFs) are promoted as a means to optimise the productivity achieved per unit of fertiliser nitrogen (N) input and lower environmental impacts from N leaching, runoff and emission losses. ...
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 ...
Determine the optimum tube dimensions for Robert evaporators through experimental investigations and CFD modelling: final report 2012/054
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Experimental investigations were undertaken in a single tube pilot evaporator for nine tubes of
three different lengths and three different diameters to determine the optimum tube dimensions for
Robert evaporators. ...
Improving mill efficiency through rapid analysis methodologies : final report 2014/051
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
A rapid analysis system for measuring key constituents in sugarcane factory products has been
developed using diode array (DA) near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic technology. Analysis of key
constituents in prepared cane, ...
Improved modelling of wet scrubbers : final report 2012/055
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
While wet scrubbers have high collection efficiency, operational problems associated
with many wet scrubber installations reduce boiler steam output and, therefore, factory
crushing rates. These problems include:
Tissue culture - managing impediments to adoption in Tully : final report 2014/093
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
The world is moving and changing every year, it is timely to investigate technologies available outside our current industry practice. When the opportunity arrives we need to take it and explore the possibilities as an ...
Validation of LSB-PCR diagnostic for ratoon stunting disease and characterisation of non-Lxx strains of Leifsonia associated with sugarcane: final report 2014/086
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Ratoon stunting disease (RSD), caused by Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx), is a major disease of sugarcane worldwide. Diagnosis is problematic because RSD lacks specific external symptoms. This project adapted the LSB-PCR ...
