Final report SRDC Project CLW009 Improving yield and ccs in sugarcane through the application of silicon based amendments
(2003)Under high leaching environments common to the wet tropics, soils undergo significant weathering, which, when combined with accelerated chemical and physical degradation due to soil perturbation and crop removal, results ... -
Finite element and durability modelling of roller shells and shafts : final report JCU6S
(BSES, 1998)The technology that has been adopted by the Australian raw sugar industry for roller shells and shafts has evolved over the past 40 years. Apart from Crawford's theoretical calculations on shell design and Cullen's factory ... -
Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed sugar mill gears : final report JCU2S
(BSES, 1995)Heavy low speed gearing used by the Australian Sugar Industry is manufactured according to code specifications. These gears fail in several ways with the most common failure modes being the gradual surface fatigue of ... -
Determination of fracture properties of cast steels : final report JCU9S
(SRDC, 1998)Technology currently exists to estimate the structural durability of cracked sugar mill gears and mill roller shafts. Both SRDC projects JCU2S (Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed gears) and JCU6S (finite ... -
Environmental factors affecting Adelina in the Burdekin region : final report CE004
(BSES, 2003)The project aimed to determine why the canegrub pathogen Adelina does not infect a significant proportion of the canegrub population in the Burdekin Delta area. It examined the effect of physical characteristics of soil ... -
High efficiency production of transgenic sugarcane plants
(1994)The efficiency of gene transfer into embryogenic callus of sugarcane has been increased tenfold by optimisation of particle bombardment conditions, and there is a corresponding increase in stable transformation frequencies. ... -
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
(1999)Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ... -
Workshop on new technologies in sugarcane crop forecasting : SRDC Final report WS004
(2001)Work over the last 3 years in the Herbert Resource Information Centre has demonstrated that it is possible to use remotely sensed satellite imagery to produce a reasonably accurate crop forecast provided there is limited ... -
Continuous improvement and innovation workshop : final report WS008
(2005)Reports and programs associated with the sugar industry have highlighted significant needs and opportunities for the industry including: ~ The need for significant performance improvement across all sectors ~ Effective ... -
Strategic baiting protocols for rodents in sugarcane : Final report STU033
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2003)This research was undertaken to investigate the perceived problem of secondary poisoning risk to avian predators associated with the use of rodenticides in the Australian sugar industry. Although a minor component of the ... -
Quantifying and managing sources of sediments and nutrients in low-lying canelands : Project no CLW007 - final report
(2003)Queensland’s north-east coast are used for sugar production. Various studies investigating sediment discharge from catchments where sugar is an important land use have demonstrated that sediment export from cane lands often ... -
Final report to the Sugar Research and Development Corporation CTA007 A modelling framework to integrate research on nitrogen management of sugarcane
(1996)This project used a measurement and modelling approach to explore the processes controlling nitrogen supply and losses in the crop and soil elements of sugarcane production systems. Measurements took place both in the field ... -
Environmentally sound phosphorus management for sugarcane soils : final report on SRDC Project no CSS3S
(1998)A field and laboratory-based survey of the behaviour of phosphorus (P) was carried out on the soils of the lower Herbert River catchment, and sediments derived from them. The aim was to explore the factors governing P ... -
Risk assessment of phosphorus (P) loss and guidelines for P use in lower Herbert soils Final report on SRDC Project No CLW010
(2000)In project CSS3S (Bramley et aI., 1998), a field and laboratory-based survey of the behaviour of phosphorus (P) was carried out on the soils of the lower Herbert River catchment, and sediments derived from them. The aim ... -
Transformation of sugarcane using Agrobacterium tumefaciens : final report on CTA027
(2000)A method for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sugarcane tissues has been developed in this project. This method offers an alternative technique for the introduction of transgenes into sugarcane. In general, ... -
Development of transformation cassettes for sugarcane : SRDC final report QT002
(2000)There are currently few gene regulation sequences (promoters/terminators) which have been shown to be effective in sugarcane. At present, the industry standard gene regulatory sequences used for genetic engineering of ... -
Lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS210S
(2001)The goal of this project was the development of a prototype lightweight harvester elevator and integrated secondary cleaning system. The goal was commercially driven and proposed transfer and adaptation of high-speed ... -
Sugar Research & Development Corporation final report Pesticide transport in sugar production systems
(2000)The fate and persistence of a number of the key pesticides used in Australian sugar production have now been quantified for a range of soil types and conditions, In general there is no evidence of season-to-season build ... -
Optimal plot size and replication for testing clones in early stages of selection : SRDC final report CSR017
(1998)The aim of CSRO 17 was to identifY optimal plot design, replication and selection criteria for testing and selecting clones in small plots in early stages of selection in sugarcane breeding programs. Problems associated ... -
