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 ...
A new high throughput method for screening for root-knot and root-lesion nematode resistance in sugarcane : Final report 2019/401
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)
Root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus zeae) and root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne javanica) are the two most important nematode pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. They cause loses of over $82 million to the Australian sugar ...
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 ...
Improving health and safety in the cane industry
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)
The sugar industry is a large contributor to the agriculture industry and economy in Queensland. Managing risks, including the requirement to do so under the various workplace health and safety (WHS) legislation, is a core ...
Southern Sugar Solutions : Final report 2017/012
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)
The Southern Sugar Solutions project was a novel project that linked research; development and extension activities that were being conducted by DAF with funding support from GRDC to monitor impact on the subsequent cane crop.
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 ...
Keeping our chemicals in their place – In the field
(2021-07-01)
This project specifically examined whether off-site movement of pesticides could be managed through the use of a range of tools and techniques including adjuvants, product formulations, product placement and application ...
Seeing is believing: managing soil variability, improve crop yield, and minimising off site impacts using digital soil mapping
(2020-12-31)
Over 70 % of sugarcane industry operates next to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Farmers are under pressure to improve practices to minimise off-farm pollution, while at the same time improve fertiliser (e.g. lime) and ...
