Efficient use of water resources in sugar production; optimising the use of limited water under supplementary irrigation
(2000)
About 60% of sugar produced in Australia depends on irrigation. In some regions, production would be impossible without irrigation; in others, irrigation is used to supplement rainfall. It can improve production and reduce ...
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased industry profitability : SRDC Final report BSS264
(BSES, 2007)
The project aimed to maximise commercial cane sugar (CCS), sugar yields (TSPH) and
industry profitability in the Herbert region by exploiting regional variation in CCS, soil
moisture and trafficability. There is ...
