Decision support for choice of enhanced efficiency fertilisers - Herbert catchment pilot study : Final report 2017/015
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEF) are of interest to the sugarcane industry because they have the potential to increase N use efficiency and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. However, agronomic and environmental benefits are ...
Evaporator liquor brix sensor : final report 2017/003
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
A Pro-M-tec Ultrasonic Time of Flight (TOF) sensor was installed for trials at Victoria Mill in 2017. The
TOF instrument calculates the brix of a liquid using the measurement of temperature and velocity of
an ultrasonic ...
Integrated disease management of sugarcane streak mosaic in Indonesia : final report 2012/083
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), 2019)
Sugarcane streak mosaic (SCSM) caused by sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) is a
relatively recently recognised disease of sugarcane that is now widespread through S.E.
Asia and widely infecting commercial crops, both ...
Using remote sensing to improve canegrub management in North Queensland canefields : final report 2015/038
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
Field ready, optimised precision weed identification sensor system : final report 2015/055
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
This project aimed to integrate machine vision-based weed discrimination algorithms with commercial spray control systems from a spray equipment manufacturer, to develop a field-ready, optimised, precision weed detection ...
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) recommends that harvesters maintain pour rates of 80-90 t/h,
depending on make and model, and recommends extractor-fan speed guidelines that ensure
minimal cane loss with low extraneous ...
Productivity performance of climatological sub-regions within the Tully Mill area : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Inter-annual climate variability has a significant impact on productivity in the Wet Tropics
region. Climate also varies spatially, yet the impact on productivity is less well known. Two
distinct climatological sub-regions ...
Nitrogen availability from legume and past fertiliser history : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
It is likely that land-based activities within the Australian sugar industry have a negative effect on the quality of water in the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. Improvements to nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) are likely to ...
Aspects of temporal N management in sugarcane in sub-tropical Queensland : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
The proximity of the Australian sugar industry to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has resulted in ongoing concerns about elevated concentrations of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the near-reef environments due to ...
Spatial distribution of potential soil constraints affecting nitrogen management in the Wet Tropics : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Position in the landscape and climatic conditions experienced during the growing season, especially following the application of nitrogen (N) fertiliser, has important implications for crop growth, N uptake and N losses. ...
