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. -
Statewide adoption of best irrigation practices for supplementary and full irrigation districts : SRDC Final report BS183S
(2000)Project BS183S has researched and identified a number of means by which on-farm water use efficiency may be improved. These include the use of irrigation scheduling devices, improved furrow irrigation design and management, ... -
Stool eradication using minimum tillage or glyphosate and associated planting methods
(1985)Research designed to establish practical techniques for stool destruction at the end of a crop's cycle is described. Trials conducted at the Tully Sugar Experiment Station during 1982 and 1983 have shown that glyphosate ... -
Sugar farming systems development and demonstration on the wet tropical coast : Final report DPI014
(SRDC, 2002)The QDPI Sugar Solutions Project was an extension project focussing on group activities and on-farm demonstrations. Objectives of the project included the development and testing of alternative farming practices to improve ... -
Sugar industry riparian management guidelines
(2001)The sugar industry is responding to increasing external scrutiny by improving its environmental credentials. The Canegrowers Environmental Audit identified as s high priority the need for the industry to integrate sound ... -
Sugar yield decline joint venture, phase 1 : SRDC technical report
(2000)This report is a technical summary of the research carried out in Phase 1 of the Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture (SYDJV) which ran from July 1993 to June 1999. Initially, the resources/funds for Phase 1 were provided ... -
Sugar yield decline joint venture, phase 2 : SRDC Final report
(2006)Research in phase 2 has greatly increased our understanding of how farming systems operate, the key components of farming systems, and how they can be manipulated to provide better outcomes. -
Sustaining un-burnt production systems in cool wet environments : SRDC Final report BSS168
(2002)This project was initiated because the Green Cane Trash Blanket (GCTB) system had been rapidly adopted within tropical districts of the Queensland sugar industry between 1984 and 1990, yet there was minimal adoption in the ... -
The contribution of mechanical cane harvesting to the productivity plateau
(1992)The invention of mechanical cane harvesters has been important in the development of the Australian sugar industry. Mechanisation of the harvest has brought many benefits. However associated with mechanical cane harvesting ... -
The economic advantage of reduced tillage planting of sugarcane in Australia
(2003)Land preparation for planting sugarcane is a major cost to growers. Currently growers may undertake up to eight tillage passes to prepare a seedbed for planting. However, this number of passes is considerably less than ... -
The effect of coulter ripping on GCTB ratoons at Hawkins Creek
(1992)In some parts of north Queensland coulter ripping is a standard operation carried out in green cane trash blanketed ratoons. Very little ripping is carried out in the Herbert Valley, even though the soil in old ratoons ... -
The effect of harvester settings on cane loss and subsequent ratoon cane yield
(1992)This replicated trial at Tully showed that harvester settings (basecutter height, forward speed, and direction of travel in relation to crop lodging) can significantly influence the amount of cane left in the paddock after ... -
The effect of two different Toft basecutters on ratoon yield
(1992)The visual appearance of the cane stubble remaining after harvesting with the Toft angled underslung basecutter usually fitted to 7000 series harvesters is different to that remaining after harvesting with the horizontal ... -
The influence of time of harvest on yields and CCS and the subsequent ratoon crop
(1975)This report deals with the second trial of the growth analysis trial programme on the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station. Full details of the purpose of this programme are outlined in Project Report 1973 -
The next step for Precision Agriculture : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2009)Growers in the Homebush Innovative Growers Group are well aware of the within-paddock variability that occurs within paddocks. The adoption of electrical conductivity (EC) soil mapping technology verified the patterns of ... -
The operation of the two-in-one harvesting attachment in a controlled traffic system : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
