A profitable future for Australian agriculture; biorefineries for higher-value animal feeds, chemicals and fuels : final report 2015/902
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
The Biorefineries for Profit project began in 2016 with a goal of establishing profitable bioproduct technologies
for the Australian sugar, cotton, forestry, and pork industries. The project has developed technologies to ...
Development of value-added products from sugarcane boiler ash : final report 2011/903
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
Bagasse fly ash from co-generation plants is often recycled into the sugarcane fields. However, bagasse fly ash
contains quartz (naturally accumulated by the cane) that may be re-suspended into respirable-sized
particulate ...
CRC Sugar Industry innovation through biotechnology : final report 2B8
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2010)
Sugarcane has a highly effective carbohydrate biosynthetic and storage metabolism
that has facilitated its use for the production of sucrose. Sugars are increasingly seen
as low-cost, renewable organic resources which ...
Investigating renewable feedstocks such as (Hibiscus Cannabis – Kenaf and Crotalaria Juncea – Sunn Hemp) for generation at Mackay Sugar Limited : final report GGP063
(BSES, 2014)
As the Australian sugar industry embarks on the opportunity to value add from its waste
streams our industry will become more sustainable into the future. This project has
investigated the opportunity to replace the ...
A monitoring-based system to enhance canegrub control best management practice for Isis sugarcane growers : final report GGP056
(BSES, 2013)
The aim of GGP-056 was for growers to experience the effectiveness and practical value of
monitoring canegrub risk as the basis for more cost-effective and efficient canegrub management: -
taking the most appropriate ...
Reviewing and extending knowledge of fibre quality assessment within the SRA breeding program to develop optimally adapted varieties for the Australian sugar industry
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
This project aimed to improve knowledge of the significance of fibre quality measurement data to improve its value for variety selection and to provide guidance on further research work to utilise fibre quality requirements ...
Remote sensing to implement an effective pest management strategy for canegrubs
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
a) Issue:
The greyback canegrub (Dermolepida albohirtum) is the main pest of cane crops in all canegrowing regions from Mossman to Sarina. Infestations by this pest species may cost the industry up to 40 million dollars ...
SUMO wrestling - understanding the molecular basis of drought tolerance in sugarcane : final report 2017/401
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
We report here that neither the plant growth hormone gibberellin (GA) signalling, nor SUMOylation post-translational mechanism, a well-known phenomenon triggered by several abiotic stresses, are involved in water stress-induced ...
Maximising genetic gain from family and within family selection : final report 011/343
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
The aim of this project is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of selection in progeny assessment trials (PATs). These improvements will result in increased rates of genetic gain and the release of more productive ...
Assessment of new soft cane varieties : final report 2015/081
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
The project objectives were to: experimentally determine whether extraneous matter affects the fibre quality parameters measured by SRA; experimentally determine whether the commercial cane preparation process affects the ...
