An analysis of sugar production issues in the Ord River Irrigation Area : SRDC technical report 01/2000
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation, 2000)
The analysis considered both cane yield and sugar content. A Preliminary Report in October 1998 utilised 1996 and 1997 production data, and concentrated on whether that data evidenced any changes from the pilot phase of ...
APSIM based determination of irrigation attributes and best use of limited water in supplementary irrigation areas of the Australian sugar industry
(2000)
The current industry focus on improving irrigation efficiency has identified the need for a better understanding of the potential gains from irrigation and use of irrigation resources in many sugar producing regions. This ...
Sugar yield decline joint venture, phase 1 : SRDC technical report
(2000)
This report is a technical summary of the research carried out in Phase 1 of the Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture (SYDJV) which ran from July 1993 to June 1999. Initially, the resources/funds for Phase 1 were provided ...
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production; optimising the use of limited water under supplementary irrigation
(2000)
About 60% of sugar produced in Australia depends on irrigation. In some regions, production would be impossible without irrigation; in others, irrigation is used to supplement rainfall. It can improve production and reduce ...
QNR-3 the Australian On-line Agrometeorological Information Service (SILO)
(Land and Water Resources
Research and Development Corporation, 2000)
Australian agriculture operates in an extremely variable climate that impacts on productivity, profitability and resource condition. This climate variability, in conjunction with declining terms of trade, has driven farmers ...
Statewide adoption of best irrigation practices for supplementary and full irrigation districts : SRDC Final report BS183S
(2000)
Project BS183S has researched and identified a number of means by which on-farm water use efficiency may be improved. These include the use of irrigation scheduling devices, improved furrow irrigation design and management, ...
Analysis of field and factory options for efficient gathering and utilisation of trash from green cane harvesting : SRDC Final report BS157S
(2000)
The objectives of this project were: to determine field costs for harvest\transport of cane with varying levels of cleaning by the harvester; to determine similar costs for field to factory transport; to establish the total ...
Farm assessment of productivity limits in the wet tropics : SRDC Final report BSS159
(2000)
There is an ongoing concern in the wet tropics over productivity levels, particularly with regard to low CCS. Previously, productivity trends within the region have been assessed utilising mill area statistics (Smith, ...
Evaluation of the chop-throw system for incorporation in a two-row harvester : SRDC Final report BS103S
(2000)
This report outlines a three-year project to develop a two-row, chop-throw harvester in conjunction with a Bundaberg innovator and evaluate its performance under commercial conditions. The role of the BSES in this project ...
Chop-throw; a potential driver for the next generation of pneumatic cleaning systems : SRDC Final report BS52S
(2000)
The objective of this project was to determine if the chop-throw concept offered potential for high efficiency pneumatic cleaning systems, by virtue of the inherently high efflux velocities and billet presentation from the ...
