Adoption of an optimal season length for increased profitability; findings from the 2004 industry survey : Final report
(2004)
There is a large potential to increase total sugar production, individual grower and district CCS through better management of harvesting scheduling. Change management will be best implemented through active participation ...
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 ...
evelopment of a strategy for selection of high-CCS cultivars for high-fertility environments in northern Queensland : SRDC Final report BSS179
(2004)
The need to develop a strategy for cultivar development for high-fertility soils present in northern Queensland was driven by industry concerns regarding a declining CCS pattern in years prior to commencement of this ...
Quantifying the socio-economic impacts of harvesting residue retention systems : SRDC Final report BSS173
(2002)
BSS173: 'Quantifying the socio-economic impacts of harvesting residue retention systems' is a project jointly funded by the Sugar Research and Development Corporation and Land and Water Australia (formally Land and Water ...
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased profitability; findings from the 2006 'maximising profitability in the Herbert sugar industry workshop' : Final report BSS264
(2006)
In 2003, the Herbert sugar industry established an industry working team to investigate ways to manage the harvest and processing of larger crops and investigate methods of increasing industry profitability. In 2004 SRDC ...
Workshop on new technologies in sugarcane crop forecasting : SRDC Final report WS004
(2001)
Work over the last 3 years in the Herbert Resource Information Centre has demonstrated that it is possible to use remotely sensed satellite imagery to produce a reasonably accurate crop forecast provided there is limited ...
Defeating the Autumn predictability barrier : SRDC Final report JCU027
(SRDC, 2009)
The success of an Australian sugarcane cropping season depends on rainfall and the ability to
forecast it. The benefits associated with long range rainfall forecasts to reduce the risk and
uncertainty associated with ...
Improving planting systems for sugarcane : SRDC Final report BSS208
(2004)
This project has researched the major factors affecting the establishment of a sugarcane crop. Adoption of a systems approach has resulted in an improved planting system that matches the requirements of the growing of ...
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 ...
Development of an improved method of harvester performance testing - in association with the jet-clean system project : Final report NCA001
(2001)
In seeking to evaluate the performance of some advanced cleaning system concepts such as the NCEA Jet Clean System (NCA 006) and the NCEA Clean Flow Fan the NCEA became aware of the lack of objective automated harvester ...
