Irrigation water use in the Eton irrigation scheme
(1994)
The objectives of the survey were: to determine irrigation management strategies used by the canegrowers; to determine water use efficiency for individual blocks; and to identify irrigation practices which affect water use ...
Evaluating alternative irrigation for a greener future
(2011)
The potential agronomic and environmental benefits of green cane harvesting and trash blanketing, the ongoing issues of nutrients and pesticides threatening the Great Barrier Reef, the rising ground water levels in the ...
National Program for Sustainable Irrigation
(2010)
The National Program for Sustainable Irrigation was a unique collaboration as it involved governments, irrigators, water providers and researchers from across Australia. It covered every aspect of irrigation from dam ...
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 ...
APSIM based determination of irrigation attributes and best use of limited water in supplementary irrigation areas of the Australian sugar industry
(2000)
The current industry focus on improving irrigation efficiency has identified the need for a better understanding of the potential gains from irrigation and use of irrigation resources in many sugar producing regions. This ...
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production; optimising the use of limited water under supplementary irrigation
(2000)
About 60% of sugar produced in Australia depends on irrigation. In some regions, production would be impossible without irrigation; in others, irrigation is used to supplement rainfall. It can improve production and reduce ...
An assessment of surge-irrigation in the Burdekin : Final report CSR35
(1992)
Furrow irrigation is the natural choice for sugarcane. It is relatively cheap to operate and generally not capital intensive, However in operation furrow irrigation has distinct limitations. It is generally inefficient in ...
Cane grower implemented drying-off irrigation scheduling on the tablelands : SRDC Final report BSS304
(2010)
The project set out to develop simple measurement methods which could be implemented by cane growers to increase sucrose yields by indicating when to dry-off mature cane crops and when to provide additional irrigation due ...
Implementation of the Rocky Point Strategic Plan as a model for local area industry development : SRDC Final report BSS247
(2002)
The Rocky Point Strategic Plan was initiated as a direct result of concern from both growers and the sugar mill about the future viability of the local industry. The aim was to follow a similar procedure to the Maryborough ...
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:
