Improving harvest efficiency in the Mossman Central Mill area : SRDC Final report
(2006)
The Mossman sugar industry in 2004 was characterised by small farms and small blocks, an excessive kilometer/tonne transport ratio, an aging transport infrastructure with a bin fleet of limited capacity, a decreasing area ...
New soybean varieties for fallow cropping of sugarcane fields : SRDC Final report
(2008)
Cropping of soybean has been shown by the yield decline joint venture to increase the yield of the following sugar crop by 15 to 30 percent. Part of the benefit occurs via provision of nitrogen to the following cane crop ...
Understanding water quality in sugarcane farming systems : SRDC Final report BSS329
(2005)
The ‘new’ sugarcane farming system (reduced tillage, controlled traffic, legume break) has many advantages over the traditional farming system. However, the impact on water quality is not known. This project aimed to ...
Delivering web-based irrigation management : SRDC Final report BSS297
(2009)
This project furthered the development of WaterSense. This is a web-based sugarcane irrigation scheduling and planning tool that allows the user to optimise irrigation inputs over multiple fields and enhance potential ...
Beneficial use irrigation strategies with treated urban effluent : Final report 972471
(2000)
Objectives for research:1. To identify the demand for effluent water by comparing three levels of water application to assess economics of crop response to water, and the impact on balancing storage capacity;2. To select ...

(2005)
Peter McGuire led the NSW farming systems steering committee and others on a study tour to the Birchip Cropping Group, Victoria and farms serviced by that group. Key learnings from the project include: Greater knowledge ...
Close-range, microwave radar for automatic control of base-cutter height and other cane harvester operations : SDRC Final report JCU019
(SRDC, 2002)
The harvesting of sugar cane is the first stage in the commercial milling of cane to produce sugar. It is well known that harvesting plays a major role in determining the overall efficiency of the sugar production process. ...
Restoring efficiency to harvested cane transport in New South Wales : SRDC Final report
(2009)
The New South Wales sugar industry has transported mechanically harvested burned cane to its three mills using a multilift bulk bin system since 1974. The transport has been both efficient and cost effective, until the ...
Adapting soybean for profitable rotations in sugarcane farming systems : SRDC Final report
(2005)
Cropping of soybean has been shown by the yield decline joint venture to increase the yield of the following sugar crop by 15 to 30 percent. One impediment to the increase of soybean in sugarcane production systems is that ...
