Productivity improvements through energy innovation in the Australian sugar industry : final report 2017/011
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
Water pumping forms a significant portion of energy use in Australian irrigated agriculture. Water for Australia’s $2 billion annual sugarcane crop is from precipitation and irrigation. As an irrigated industry in a variable ...
Exploiting introgression for the development of productive and regionally adapted varieties for NSW : final report 2013/022
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
This project aimed to explore sugar cane variety improvement opportunities available through introgression in relation to 2-year cropping, temperate cane growing conditions of NSW and frosting. It provided an opportunity ...
Investigating losses from green and burnt cane harvesting conditions : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2020)
Despite much research into the impact of high harvester pour rates and fan speeds on harvested cane yields, there has been low adoption of HBP (harvesting best practice) across the industry. Full adoption across the ...
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : final report 2016/955
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives:
1. Determining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields
improved to achieve the best economic return for ...
Smart blending of enhanced efficiency fertilisers to maximise sugarcane profitability : final technical report RRDP1718
(Cotton Research and Development Corporation;Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, 2020)
Jointly funded by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, Sugar Research
Australia, Queensland Government, and industry and research partners, this project aimed to: (1)
characterise PCU N release ...
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : Final report 2019/951
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
Patane (et al. 2019) determined that Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives.
1. Defining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields improved to ...
Water table monitoring in the Ord River Valley : SRDC Final report WAA001
(SRDC, 2020)
Monitoring of groundwater levels has been undertaken in the Ord River Irrigation Area using a network of bores established on farms throughout the Stage I area. These bores, many of which were installed as part of this ...
Understanding interactions between basecutters and other forward-feed components with the cane stalk : Final report 2016/952
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
Increasing harvesting speed has been necessary to facilitate the large increases in productivity required by the harvesting fleet to manage sugarcane-industry cost pressures. Whilst the power and processing throughput of ...
Enhancing the sugar industry value chain by addressing mechanical harvest losses through research, technology and adoption : Final report 2016/901
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
The project addressed the challenges of mechanical sugarcane harvesting, that include damage to the crop, cane loss from the harvester and high levels of extraneous matter sent to the mill. It did this by developing harvester ...
Understanding the mechanisms that control the release of a soluble crystalline agrichemical extruded with polymers
(2020)
Nitrogen (N) is an essential element to sustain all life on Earth, yet it also wreaks havoc when in excess. The production of synthetic N fertilisers through the Haber-Bosch process began in the early 1900s and initiated ...
