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 ...
SRDC Research Project final report Increased CCS, cane yield and water use efficiency by exploiting interactions between genetics and management
(2009)
In October 2003 delegates at an international workshop on sugarcane physiology funded by SRDC concluded that priority should be directed at a better understanding of traits responsible for high yield and high sucrose ...
Knowledge of sugarcane physiology and climate-crop-soil interactions : SRDC final report
(2003)
Compared to other crops, knowledge of growth mechanisms in sugarcane is inadequate. The question arises as to how much longer can we continue to prosper from sugarcane if knowledge of the growth processes on which our ...
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:
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 ...
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 ...
