User manual for CaneLCA Eco-efficiency Calculator V1.01
(BSES, 2013)
CaneLCA calculates the eco-efficiency of sugarcane production over its lifecycle, to help sugarcane producers and their advisors identify sustainable farming practices. CaneLCA can assist sugarcane producers to:
A pilot for business planning for young farmers and partner in the sugarcane industry : final report ACF002
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
Through ACFA’s Next Gen program, it was identified that given the aging demographic of cane farmers it is important that young farmers, the future decision makers of the industry, are provided with the tools and skills ...
The fast fluorescence kinetics; a sensitive tool for early detection of water stress in sugarcane : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)
Water stress is a major constraint for sugarcane production in many regions of the
world, including Australia. Sensitive and non-destructive early measurement of the crop
response to water stress would be of great value ...
Field evaluation of selected introgression clones for their resistance to root-knot nematodes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Sugarcane nematodes, root-knot (RKN) and root-lesion (RLN), cause an estimated loss of over $80 million per year to the Australian sugar industry. In particular, RKN is a major problem if sugarcane is planted in sandy soil. ...
Economic evaluation of sugarcane harvesting best practice (HBP) : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Mechanical sugarcane harvesting is commonly undertaken at ground speeds that exceed the cleaning capacity of modern harvesters, which is likely to increase extraneous matter (EM) levels in the cane supply. To attempt to ...
A boiler simulator for improved operator training : final report 2016/001
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
A boiler simulator training package ready for use by industry has been developed during this project.
After some fine tuning to accommodate site specific details and interaction with existing factory
control systems (if ...
Evaluation of the Neltec Colour Q for measuring the purity of magma from C centrifugals : final report 2018/201
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
In Australian factories one operator typically manages the high grade fugalling, sugar drying and low grade (C) fugalling stations. The C fugals are managed least effectively as there is no process instrumentation to monitor ...
Automating harvester and haulout forward progression during harvest utilizing DGPS : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2010)
Issue: The issue that this project sought to address was to increase the performance of the harvester and haul-out during forward progression. This issue has ramifications through the entire sugar value chain as losses at ...
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)
Production peaked in the Herbert River mills in 2005 but since then productivity has declined. Analysis of mill data in the Herbert has successfully identified groups of farms with similar productivity over time and the ...
WinRHIZO software for evaluating effects of farming systems on sugarcane root systems : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Sugarcane roots are notoriously difficult to study. The opaque nature of the soil matrix, large
biomass, and ratooning habit of the crop make studying roots challenging. WinRHIZO is a
specialist root analysis software ...
