Improving the ratooning ability of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS100S
(1996)Good ratooning cultivars has attributes of rapdi canopy development, associated with early development of adequate stalk numbers, for increased interception of light in early growth, an stability of harvested stalk weight ... -
Improving the yields of ratoon crops of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS7S (AMENDED)
(1993)The economics of sugarcane growing improve with the number of ratoon crops which can be grown from a single planting. In Australia, declining yields with increase in the number of ratoons limit a cycle to three to five ... -
Improving the yields of ratoon crops of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS7S
(SRDC, 1992)The economics of sugarcane growing improve with the number of ratoon crops which can be grown from a single planting. In Australia, declining yields with increase in the number of ratoons limit a cycle to three to five ... -
Improving water penetration in the Burdekin
(1990)Poor water penetration represents the greatest source of preventable yield loss in the Burdekin district. The problem occurs in all four mill areas in the district with about 18 000 ha affected to some degree. Cane yield ... -
Improving yield and cane quality through implementation of harvesting best practice - 2019 Herbert demonstration : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)In 2019, the Australian sugarcane industry conducted a month-long demonstration with 12 trials to determine the commercial viability of harvesting best practice. Initiated by a small group of innovative growers and contractors ... -
Incentive price harvesting signals versus traditional payment system : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2007)Is to help farmers with the transition from the traditional way that they have paid for their cane to be harvested to an incentive pricing system that related to their farm layout and the management of the cane harvested ... -
Increased adoption of efficient sustainable irrigation practices by Australian canegrowers : SRDC Final report BS127S
(1997)SRDC funded the three-year project 'Increased Adoption of Efficient, Sustainable Irrigation Practices by Australian Canegrowers in July 1994. The broad objectives of the project were to; Determine perceived limits to ... -
Increased productivity through better design and management of irrigated canefields : SRDC Final report BS90S
(1996)This project has obtained, for the first time, data on the performance and efficiency of furrow irrigated canefields. In particular, it has shown the water application efficiencies on high infiltration soils it is generally ... -
Increased profitability and water use efficiency through best use of limited water under supplementary irrigation : SRDC Final report CSE001
(SRDC, 2005)The objectives of this project towards increased profitability and water use efficiency was to: -
Increasing in-mill NIR effectiveness and communicating data to all sectors for improved decision making in the sugarcane value chain : SRDC Final report CSR038
(2009)In 2005 Mackay Sugar introduced changes to their cane payment formula that primarily used Near Infra Red (NIR) data as the basis for grower payments. The cane payment system was based on the principle of sharing risks and ... -
Increasing irrigation efficiencies in the Australian Sugar Industry : Final report BSE2
(1997)Over 20 furrow irrigation sites on the Burdekin Delata were monitored by sugarcane growers for water use through the 1995/96 and 1996/97 seasons. Irrigation efficiencies varied from less than 20% to nearly 70%. Demonstration ... -
Increasing the capacity to identify and action value chain integration opportunities
(2005)This report provides a review of the past value chain sugar research in Australia and other countries, and formulates key messages that the Australian industry can learn upon for future value chain activities. Compared to ... -
Influence of harvester basecutters on ratooning of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BSS123
(2005)Current single row mechanical sugarcane harvesters use twin rotary basecutters with multiple blades to produce an impact cut in the stalk at or near ground level. However, the cane stubble is often damaged during harvesting, ... -
Innovative farmers in the Herbert : Environmental protection agency project final report
(2007)Farming systems innovation has been taking place in the Herbert region since the early days of the sugar industry. During the 1960s and 1970s a complete change in the farming system took place with the introduction of ... -
Integrated value chain scenarios for enhanced mill region profitability
(2005)The Australian sugar industry has recently faced an unprecedented cost-price ‘squeeze’ from a run of poor seasons and the collapse of the sugar price. As a result there is impetus to consider diversifying products from the ... -
Integrating and optimising farm-to-mill decisions to maximise industry profitability : SRDC Final report CSE005
(2006)Late in the 1990’s, the Australian sugar industry recognised the need to achieve increased integration across its value chain, so as to reduce costs and increase international competitiveness. Past projects and independent ... -
Interactive web-based material to support FMS : Farm Management Systems for the Sugar Cane Industry, sub-program 1
(2005)An interactive web-based toolset was developed to support the Australian sugar industry’s Farm Management System (FMS) program. Primary issues that were addressed in this sub-program included the provision of a system to ... -
Investigate skip row configuration in sugar cane: Final report GGP046
