Remote sensing-based precision agriculture tools for the sugar industry : SRDC Final report DPI021
(2013)This project aimed to develop remote sensing applications that were both relevant and of commercial benefit to the Australian sugar industry and therefore adoptable. Such applications included the in season mapping of crop ... -
Report on BSES workshop identifying opportunities in harvesting and extraneous matter
(1996)This is a report of the scoping meeting on harvest scheduling and extraneous matter held at BSES on Mondary July 29. The meeting was designed to identify issues and opportunities for BSES in these areas. Staff selected ... -
Restoring efficiency to harvested cane transport in New South Wales : SRDC Final report
(2009)The New South Wales sugar industry has transported mechanically harvested burned cane to its three mills using a multilift bulk bin system since 1974. The transport has been both efficient and cost effective, until the ... -
Restoring the balance - guidelines for managing floodgates and drainage systems on coastal floodplains
(NSW Agriculture, 2003)Many coastal floodplains in Australia have an extensive network of floodgates, constructed drains and modified water courses. These are designed to mitigate the impacts of floods and large rainfall events. Floodgates prevent ... -
Review of current and future investments in high density planting : SRDC Final report
(SRDC, 1999)The BSES is presently confronting the issue of how to facilitate the adoption of HOP as a commercially productive system. Relevant preliminary project proposals have been submitted for SRDC funding. This consultancy assesses ... -
Review, analysis and discussion of precision agriculture technologies : SRDC Final report NCA009
(2007)The development of a range of new technologies has brought agriculture and agricultural equipment to a whole new level of sophistication. First hypothesised in the early 1990’s, Precision Agriculture (PA) is a crop management ... -
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 ... -
Share-farming options for the Australian sugar industry : SRDC Final report BSS298
(2007)The Australian sugar industry is faced with an aging farmer population, high land prices that limit expansion and a large number of small farms. Share farming and leasing have the potential to solve these three problems.This ... -
Smarter Irrigation; educating growers in innovative on-farm water management and scheduling practices : Final report 2017/802
(Cotton Research and Development Corporation, 2018)The general objective of the project was to realise significant productivity and profitability improvements for sugarcane growers. Engage in coaching and training activities with seven sugarcane growers in the use of ... -
Sodic soils and rising groundwater management in the Burdekin
(2013)Sodic soils are a production limiting issue for large areas of the Burdekin region. Saline soils, saline groundwater and rising groundwater tables also have a high possibility to further limit yield potential. Rising ... -
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. -
