A literature review of harvesting operations and their implication on soil compaction and yield in sugar cane : Final report PR02012
(BSES, 2002)
A significant effort has been applied to the investigation of soil compaction in the
sugar cane industry. Most recently research performed by Dr Mike Braunack at Tully
in the wet tropics of Queensland, Australia, has ...
Sustaining un-burnt production systems in cool wet environments : SRDC Final report BSS168
(2002)
This project was initiated because the Green Cane Trash Blanket (GCTB) system had been rapidly adopted within tropical districts of the Queensland sugar industry between 1984 and 1990, yet there was minimal adoption in the ...
Hitch design and dynamic stability of infield haulouts : Final report USQ1S
(1990)
This report is submitted to the Sugar Research and Development Council as a summary of the findings generated under the project USQIS, "Hitch Design and Dynamic Stability of Haulouts" . An interim report (July 1990) detailed ...
Chop-throw; a potential driver for the next generation of pneumatic cleaning systems : SRDC Final report BS52S
(2000)
The objective of this project was to determine if the chop-throw concept offered potential for high efficiency pneumatic cleaning systems, by virtue of the inherently high efflux velocities and billet presentation from the ...
An initial evaluation of surge irrigation as a management tool for the Burdekin sugar industry : Final report 89/7
(1991)
Conventional furrow and surge irrigation were compared during the growth of second and third ratoon sugarcane crops on a duplex soil in the Lower Burdekin district. Data collection was severely hampered during this ...
Improved sugarcane farming systems : SRDC Final report BSS286
(2010)
This project - Improved Sugarcane Farming Systems (BSS286) - was designed to build on the outcomes of phase 1 and 2 or the Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture (STDJV). Thus its main focus was on issues that had been identified ...
Lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS210S
(2001)
The goal of this project was the development of a prototype lightweight harvester elevator and integrated secondary cleaning system. The goal was commercially driven and proposed transfer and adaptation of high-speed ...
Controlled traffic farming systems for the North Coast Grower Group : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project Final report
(2008)
The project aim was to implement and trial farming systems that incorporate the practices of controlled traffic, minimum tillage and crop rotations. The North Coast Grower Group members combined their resources and efforts ...
A participatory approach to improving furrow irrigation efficiency : SRDC Final report BSS206
(2002)
A combination of low water use efficiencies on a significant proportion of furrow-irrigated farms, and a serious decline in water availability for a majority of farms, gave strong impetus to improving application efficiencies ...
Raising awareness and adoption of sustainable cane growing practices : SRDC Final report BSS238
(2002)
This project aimed to raise awareness and adoption of sustainable canegrowing practices in the Queensland and New South Wales sugar industries by providing canegrowers with the capacity to critically assess their farming ...
