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 ...

Genomic organisation of sugarcane cultivars revealed by chromosome-specific oligonucleotide probes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is probably the crop with the most complex genome. Modern
cultivars (2n=100-120) are derived from interspecific hybridization between the noble cane S.
officinarum (2n=80) and the wild cane S. ...
Changes in summer rainfall and implications for agriculture : final report B.CCH.2111
(Meat and Livestock Australia Limited, 2021)
Annual and seasonal rainfall are important drivers of agricultural productivity and profitability in Australian agriculture and various climatological and synoptic drivers influence rainfall patterns in Australia’s diverse ...
Solving YCS : final report 2014/049
(ASSCT, 2021)
Yellow canopy syndrome (YCS) is a sporadic condition presenting as golden-yellowing of the mid canopy in sugarcane during the peak growing period of December to March. The key driver of YCS is growth rate and symptoms ...
Seed-based in vitro propagation to accelerate variety development : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)
To shorten the current lengthy selection process in sugarcane breeding and to accelerate genetic gain, Sugar Research Australia is implementing a range of novel breeding strategies and selection tactics. One strategy is ...
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : Final report 2016/32
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)
The annual productivity of the Australia sugarcane industry fluctuates significantly across most sugarcane growing regions. Although some of this regional variation can be explained by extreme weather events or disease ...
