Influence of harvester basecutters on ratooning of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BSS123
(2005)
Current single row mechanical sugarcane harvesters use twin rotary basecutters with multiple blades to produce an impact cut in the stalk at or near ground level. However, the cane stubble is often damaged during harvesting, ...
Irrigation risk management strategies to reduce water use and maximize profitability; a paradigm shift in performance to $ per unit of water : Final report CTA038
(SRDC, 2003)
The Australian sugar industry is predisposed to maximize the benefits of irrigation because of
its geographic and climatic location. However mistakes of older irrigation schemes elsewhere
in Australia, need to be ...
