Commercialisation of lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for sugarcane harvesters : Final report BSS251
(2002)
The Australian sugar industry is facing the challenge of increasing extraneous matter (EM), depression of ccs, sugar quality issues, and increasing harvesting and transport costs per tonne of final product. In addition, ...
Provision of improved varieties and pathology services for the Ord Sugar Industry : Final report CTA043
(2012)
This project was established to introduce and evaluate new sugarcane varieties into the Ord river Irrigation Area (ORIA), and to provide advice on pathology issues relating to the ORIA. Cultivars in the ORIA currently are ...
Increasing in-mill NIR effectiveness and communicating data to all sectors for improved decision making in the sugarcane value chain : SRDC Final report CSR038
(2009)
In 2005 Mackay Sugar introduced changes to their cane payment formula that primarily used Near Infra Red (NIR) data as the basis for grower payments. The cane payment system was based on the principle of sharing risks and ...
Enhancing efficiency and integration from field to factory in the Herbert : SRDC Final report
(2010)
The Herbert sugar region underwent major strategic change in the harvesting and transport sectors, which will involve $7M investment in siding rationalisation and a substantial reduction in the number of harvesting groups. ...
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased profitability; findings from the 2004 industry survey : Final report
(2004)
There is a large potential to increase total sugar production, individual grower and district CCS through better management of harvesting scheduling. Change management will be best implemented through active participation ...
Sugar farming systems development and demonstration on the wet tropical coast : Final report DPI014
(SRDC, 2002)
The QDPI Sugar Solutions Project was an extension project focussing on group activities and on-farm demonstrations. Objectives of the project included the development and testing of alternative farming practices to improve ...
Improving the yields of ratoon crops of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS7S
(SRDC, 1992)
The economics of sugarcane growing improve with the number of ratoon crops which can be grown from a single planting. In Australia, declining yields with increase in the number of ratoons limit a cycle to three to five ...
