Ameliorating clay sub soils to improve crop yields : Final report 2013/072
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
There are large areas of sodic duplex clay soils across the Australian sugarcane industry. Often, the sub soil on these soils is not conducive to sugarcane root growth and as a result the sugarcane roots can only explore ...
Maximising centre pivot efficiencies : Final report GGP051
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
Centre pivot irrigators are proven to be one of the most efficient irrigation systems. But
in the cane industry with long ratoon cycles, and a six month harvest season, a pivot
applying the same amount of water over ...
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 ...
Developing a robust soybean industry in Central and Northern Queensland : Final report GGP060
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)
The benefits of using soybeans as a break crop during the traditional sugarcane crop fallow period has been well documented. Trials conducted under the SYDJV highlighted that legumes, such as soybeans, produced the following ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Masterclasses in soil health and soil biology for the sugar industry : Final report 2016/025
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
A total of 252 sugar growers, productivity services staff and others attended a series of Master Classes in Soil Health/Soil Biology that were held in 2017 and 2018. During those classes they had the opportunity to see ...
