Facilitate the accessibility of productivity data by sugarcane farm managers through the SUGARSCAPE productivity software application : SRDC Final report BSS248
(2001)Utilising previous research outcomes, a utility was added to the SUGARSCAPE software application to export productivity data and farm map data to common file types. The purpose of this export utility was to provide a ... -
Facilitating enhanced peanut / sugarcane rotations by assessing and managing the issues related to growing peanuts : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)Rotation cropping has been identified by the Sugar Yield decline Joint Venture (SYDJV) as a critical tool in addressing decline in the Australian sugar industry. Previous research demonstrates that when break crops are ... -
Facilitation of best practice to reduce extraneous matter and cane loss : SRDC Final report BSS189
(2002)Green cane harvesting and trash blanketing are important agronomic production techniques in the northern sugar producing areas. Cane losses are accepted to be higher with green cane harvesting and extraneous matter levels ... -
Factors affecting cane farm productivity and profitability in the Bundaberg district
(1993)At the request of the Bundaberg Cane Productivity Committee, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries carried out a study to identify factors affecting the level of sugar yields and reasons for variation in the level ... -
Farm assessment of productivity limits in the wet tropics : SRDC Final report BSS159
(2000)There is an ongoing concern in the wet tropics over productivity levels, particularly with regard to low CCS. Previously, productivity trends within the region have been assessed utilising mill area statistics (Smith, ... -
Farm business management for the Queensland Sugar Industry : SRDC Final report BS136S
(1999)The objectives of the project were to: train a core group of sugar industry staff in the principles and skills of FBM; develop appropriate technology for the extension of FBM advice to canefarmers; trial, evaluate and ... -
Farm management systems training course : Farm Management Systems for the Sugarcane Industry, Sub-program 3
(2007)The Farm Management Systems suite of projects came about in response to an increasing need for grower resources and demonstrated capacity to manage the environmental pressures of profitable cane farming. In total 5 projects ... -
Global change : helping inform the Australian sugar industry on potential impacts, possible adaptation strategies and best bet investment of R&D
(2007)Australia is facing some degree of continuing global change (IPCC 2007) (referred to as climate change in this report, and including climate variables and atmospheric gases). The Agriculture and Food Policy Reference Group ... -
Harvester best practice on-board expert system and monitoring : SRDC Final report
(2007)Cane losses through harvesters operating outside Harvest Best Practice (HBP) are a major cost to the sugar industry. Where they exist, current information systems provide feedback to the operator only after the cane has ... -
Harvester performance testing literature review; loss measurement in sugarcane harvesting : Final report CO02008
(BSES, 2002)In the process of development of a performance testing protocol for sugarcane harvesters, the need for an independent review of the literature pertaining to sugarcane loss measurement became apparent. This review was ... -
Harvesting groups; the key to improving harvesting practice : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)In the 2017 and 2018 crushing seasons, Sugar Research Australia Limited (SRA) conducted a project to assist harvesting groups to reduce sugar loss. The principles of harvesting practice to reduce loss have been well ... -
Herbicide phytotoxicity screening Central; Southern Queensland varieties 1989 season
(1990)This report summarised the results of the three sugarcane phytotoxicity trials conducted on the Sugar Experiment Station, Bundaberg during 1989. Twelve approved, or promising varieties, from the central and southern districts ... -
