Understanding why potential field CCS is not realised at the factory : SRDC final report SD02005
(BSES, 2002)
Declining ccs in the Mossman-Tully region has been linked to increasing extraneous matter in mill-supply cane. This was quantified by measuring the proportion and quality of crop fractions in pre-and post-harvest subsamples. ...
Monitoring cane at the mill to improve nitrogen management on the farm : final report CTA029
(SRDC, 2002)
The project originally had a third objective, namely to “Develop promising leads in
rapid and cost effective analyses of N compounds in the mill juice stream to a
“proof-of-concept” stage.” Instrumentation issues and ...
Optimisation of the initial stages of the New South Wales selection program : SRDC final project report BS96S
(2002)
The main aim of this project was to obtain the basic information required to implement an efficient and effective breeding and selection program in NSW. However, the project suffered major difficulties that affected the ...
Breeding clones with high early sugar content : SRDC final report BSS93
(2002)
The project BSS25 ?Breeding of clones with high early sugar content? concluded that the potential for increasing CCS through breeding and selection was greatest early in the season. BSS25 commenced a recurrent selection ...
Evaluation and re-structuring of regional selection programs to maximise efficiency and speed of cultivar release
(2002)
Continual delivery of new cultivars is required to maintain resistance to existing and new pests and diseases, and to provide constant improvement in crop productivity, quality and profitability for an internationally ...
The development of an extension network amongst growers in Tully with a view to improving industry profitability in a participatory atmosphere : final report BSS253
(2002)
The challenge for industry personnel was to develop a network amongst canegrowers in Tully that would provide more effective extension of research and development than current methods could achieve. A project in Mulgrave ...
Optimisation of nutrient management of the Queensland sugar industry : SRDC final report BSS176
(2002)
This project, BSS176, set out to give the sugar industry an indication of how bringing nitrogen rates back to within BSES recommended levels would not only save production costs, but also improve ccs, thus improving ...
Harvester performance testing literature review; loss measurement in sugarcane harvesting : Final report CO02008
(BSES, 2002)
In the process of development of a performance testing protocol for sugarcane harvesters, the need for an independent review of the literature pertaining to sugarcane loss measurement became apparent. This review was ...
Commercialisation of lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for sugarcane harvesters : Final report BSS251
(2002)
The Australian sugar industry is facing the challenge of increasing extraneous matter (EM), depression of ccs, sugar quality issues, and increasing harvesting and transport costs per tonne of final product. In addition, ...
Sugar farming systems development and demonstration on the wet tropical coast : Final report DPI014
(SRDC, 2002)
The QDPI Sugar Solutions Project was an extension project focussing on group activities and on-farm demonstrations. Objectives of the project included the development and testing of alternative farming practices to improve ...
