Modernisation of furrow irrigation in the sugar industry : Final report 2014/079
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Irrigation is an essential part of sugarcane production in many of the sugarcane regions in Australia. Like all agricultural industries, the Australian sugarcane industry is under continuous pressure to demonstrate that ...
Too wet to forget - reducing the impact of excessive rainfall on productivity : Final report 2014/046
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Too wet to forget – reducing the impact of excessive rainfall on productivity, was established due to
the large productivity losses associated with La-Nina events in the sugarcane industry. The effect of
waterlogging ...
Sensors for improved harvesting feedback: evaluation of suitability : Final report 2016/954
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
A feasibility study was conducted to investigate the value and application of sensors in the harvesting environment for improved feedback for quality and loss control. A desktop study, this project (a) investigated the ...
Improving industry returns through harvest best practice : Final report 2014/091
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
In NSW the perception was that in field harvesting losses were unacceptably high and were a result of poor harvesting practices (excessive ground and fan speeds), inadequate harvester set up (no toppers), poor crop ...
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 ...
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 ...
