Identifying management zones within cane paddocks: an essential foundation for precision sugarcane agriculture : SRDC Final report BPS001
(2011)
Variability in plant growth across spatial zones within sugarcane crops arises from the complex interactions of soil nutritional status, soil physical properties (especially soil texture), surface and subsurface drainage, ...
Integrating and optimising farm-to-mill decisions to maximise industry profitability : SRDC Final report CSE005
(2006)
Late in the 1990’s, the Australian sugar industry recognised the need to achieve increased integration across its value chain, so as to reduce costs and increase international competitiveness. Past projects and independent ...
A cooperative systems model for the Mackay regional sugar industry : SRDC Final report MSA003
(SRDC, 2006)
In 2000-2001 the Mackay sugar industry embarked on a path of rapid and major
change, driven by a depressed world sugar market and specific regional problems
of drought and disease. The changes were initially directed ...
Statewide adoption of best irrigation practices for supplementary and full irrigation districts : SRDC Final report BS183S
(2000)
Project BS183S has researched and identified a number of means by which on-farm water use efficiency may be improved. These include the use of irrigation scheduling devices, improved furrow irrigation design and management, ...
Establishing the second crop cycle into permanent beds : SRDC Final report BSS306
(2010)
The 'establishing the second crop cycle into permanent beds' project operated over a 3-year period from 2007 until 2010. The project aimed to assist growers who had adopted controlled traffic to re-establish a second crop ...
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : Final report 2019/951
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
Patane (et al. 2019) determined that Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives.
1. Defining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields improved to ...
Analysis of field and factory options for efficient gathering and utilisation of trash from green cane harvesting : SRDC Final report BS157S
(2000)
The objectives of this project were: to determine field costs for harvest\transport of cane with varying levels of cleaning by the harvester; to determine similar costs for field to factory transport; to establish the total ...
Harvester performance testing literature review; loss measurement in sugarcane harvesting : Final report CO02008
(BSES, 2002)
In the process of development of a performance testing protocol for sugarcane harvesters, the need for an independent review of the literature pertaining to sugarcane loss measurement became apparent. This review was ...
Implementing an integrated sugar system in NSW : Final report NSC005
(2006)
The New South Wales Sugar Milling Co-operative’s (NSWSMC) move to whole cane harvesting for cogeneration will increase in-field haulout traffic by 30% with the potential for yield decline due to increased soil compaction. ...
An assessment of surge-irrigation in the Burdekin : Final report CSR35
(1992)
Furrow irrigation is the natural choice for sugarcane. It is relatively cheap to operate and generally not capital intensive, However in operation furrow irrigation has distinct limitations. It is generally inefficient in ...
