Regional evaluation of high density planting : SRDC Final report BSS241 (revised)
(2003)This project was successful in comparing two systems: conventional 1.52-m single rows and the High Density Planting system (HDP), which consists of four rows on a 2.1-m wide bed using controlled-traffic and minimum-tillage ... -
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
