Implementation of irrigation practices for profitable resource efficient sugarcane production in the Ord : Final report CSE007
(SRDC, 2006)
Sugarcane is currently the major crop in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) in terms of area, occupying
approximately 4000 hectares or a third of the irrigable area. It is also possible that further expansion could ...
Regional evaluation of high density planting : SRDC Final report BSS241
(2003)
This project was successful in comparing two farming systems: conventional 1.52-m single rows and the High Density Planting system (HDP), which consists of four rows on a 2.1-m wide bed using controlled-traffic and ...
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 ...
Increased adoption of efficient sustainable irrigation practices by Australian canegrowers : SRDC Final report BS127S
(1997)
SRDC funded the three-year project 'Increased Adoption of Efficient, Sustainable Irrigation Practices by Australian Canegrowers in July 1994. The broad objectives of the project were to; Determine perceived limits to ...
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 ...
Modelling extreme yields in the Wet Tropics to improve nitrogen use efficiency : Final report 2014/024
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
The Wet Tropics experiences one of the highest levels of climate variability in the world. These enormous swings
in inter-annual climate patterns cause large fluctuations in crop size, and hence, how much nitrogen should ...
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 ...
Ameliorating clay sub soils to improve crop yields : Final report 2013/072
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
There are large areas of sodic duplex clay soils across the Australian sugarcane industry. Often, the sub soil on these soils is not conducive to sugarcane root growth and as a result the sugarcane roots can only explore ...
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 ...
