Understanding the effect of harvester speed on subsequent ratoon performance in the Burdekin : Final report 2014/092
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
In 2014 six harvester speed trials were established in the Burdekin to investigate the effect of harvester speed
on crop yields and subsequent ratooning, and the economics associated with harvesting at different ...
Improving the yields of ratoon crops of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS7S (AMENDED)
(1993)
The economics of sugarcane growing improve with the number of ratoon crops which can be grown from a single planting. In Australia, declining yields with increase in the number of ratoons limit a cycle to three to five ...
A regional partnership approach to developing a sustainable sugar cane system : SRDC Final report MAS001
(SRDC, 2007)
The Mossman milling area has a unique place in the Australian sugar industry; not only is it the
most northern of all mill areas but the Mossman Central Mill is one of the oldest independent
milling companies and still ...
Commercial scale economic evaluation of post-harvest cane cleaning to maximise the returns to the supply shain : Final report 2016/953
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
This project examined three cane supply treatments; Commercial harvesting, Low Loss harvesting and Low Loss Harvesting plus cleaning; to determine if post-harvest cane cleaning offered benefits over harvesting alone. As a ...
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 ...
Determining the relationship between on-farm decision making and profitability : SRDC Final report BS91S
(2000)
This document provides the results of a four year benchmarking project in the Queensland sugar industry. In particular, it highlights the results of data collected from growers in four main regions of Queensland - the ...
Evaluation of scheduling tools for the sugar industry : Final project 2015/082
(Cotton Research and Development Corporation, 2017)
This study was commissioned to Sugar Research Australia (SRA) and AgriTech Solutions to evaluate the irrigation scheduling tools in the sugar industry and assess the feasibility of using satellite imagery as part of a ...
An assessment of the potential of remote sensing based irrigation scheduling for sugarcane in Australia : Final report 2015/082
(Cotton Research and Development Corporation, 2017)
There is currently no operational method of managing irrigation in Australia’s sugar industry on the basis of systematic, direct monitoring of sugar plant physiology. Satellite remote sensing systems, having come a long ...
Product and profit; delivering precision to users of precision agriculture in the Australian sugar industry; yield monitoring : Final report 2014/028
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
The ability to collect robust yield data has been demonstrated in a previous SRA-funded project CSE022 (=2008/022) across a range of different yield sensing options. This same project documented a set of procedures and ...
Measurement and feedback systems for improving market signals for harvesting : SRDC Final report BSS261
(BSES, 2005)
One of the market impediments hindering the adoption of best practice for harvesting is
the one-price, dollar-per-tonne payment method for harvesting. It provides no incentive
for growers to improve farm layout or ...
