Defeating the Autumn predictability barrier : SRDC Final report JCU027
(SRDC, 2009)The success of an Australian sugarcane cropping season depends on rainfall and the ability to forecast it. The benefits associated with long range rainfall forecasts to reduce the risk and uncertainty associated with ... -
Delivering the capability to evaluate alternative cane supply arrangements across the sugar industry using a whole industry systems approach : SRDC Final report CTA0044
(SRDC, 2002)Increasing cost/price pressure has forced the Australian sugar industry to seek innovative avenues for increasing profitability. To address this, the industry saw opportunities for increasing productivity and hence ... -
Delivering web-based irrigation management : SRDC Final report BSS297
(2009)This project furthered the development of WaterSense. This is a web-based sugarcane irrigation scheduling and planning tool that allows the user to optimise irrigation inputs over multiple fields and enhance potential ... -
Demonstrate the true value of harvesting best practice and provide the basis for the sharing of the additional revenue created by its adoption
(2008)The Cooperative Systems project (SRDC Project MSA003) considered how a cane quality incentive scheme might be incorporated into a cane payment. The report discussed the measurement and feedback of cane quality data to ... -
Design and build a moving wall on side tipping cane transporters : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2006)With the finalisation of the New South Wales Sugar Milling Cooperative’s Co-generation project, the transportation of whole of cane crop, with its 50% increase in bulk density, without losing the current efficiencies of ... -
Determining the relationship between on-farm decision making and profitability : SRDC Final report BS91S
(2000)This document provides the results of a four year benchmarking project in the Queensland sugar industry. In particular, it highlights the results of data collected from growers in four main regions of Queensland - the ... -
Develop a whole-of-crop load levelling arm : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)This project aims to encourage involvement of representatives from all Condong harvesting groups to work together improving their skills to carry out R&D while building onto SRDC project. (HGP002 Design and build a moving ... -
Develop and assess adaptability of different row spacings for harvester fronts : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)Cutting different row widths is a piece of cake this season for a Home Hill cane harvester contractor. This project allowed an easy change of harvester front’s widths by the pull of a lever from 1.52m to 1.83m rows, which ... -
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 ... -
Developing extended fallow options for the Plane Creek district : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2014)At the time of initiation of this project, sugarcane lands were being lost to cattle grazing, tree production and hobby farms due to the low returns being experienced for sugarcane. The low sugarcane returns were a product ... -
Developing implement coulters for volcanic red soils : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)This project was specifically designed to alleviate problems faced by farming enterprises growing sugarcane in undulating red volcanic soils. Traditional disc coulters used on farming implements in undulating red volcanic ... -
Developing remote sensing as an industry wide yield forecasting, nitrogen mapping and research aid : Final report 2013/025
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)The science of Earth Observation (EO) is a rapidly developing discipline that has seen an unprecedented rise in remote sensing technologies and application development, including those in agriculture. The Australian sugarcane ... -
Development and implementation of harvest management planning tools for the maximisation of CCS in the Tully district
(2010)The Tully Sugar Limited milling district is characterised by large geographical, varietal, and seasonal differences in sugar yield. Growers are increasingly looking for ways to increase profitability by capitalising on ... -
Development of a large capacity haulout bin : SRDC Final report DDI1S
