Advancing Australian sugarcane farming systems : Final report 2013/803
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)
Vertical tillage principles were discussed vigorously at each strip tillage company visited. Most
notably the presentation given by Jerry Hatfield from Iowa State University gave the group a
thorough understanding of why ...
Cropping solutions for the sugarcane farming systems of the Burdekin : Final report 2011/922
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
The 'Cropping solutions for sugarcane farming systems of the Burdekin' project investigated cropping opportunities within the sugar dominant farming systems of the Burdekin. The project was designed to assess the impact ...
Modelling extreme yields in the Wet Tropics to improve nitrogen use efficiency : Final report 2014/024
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
The Wet Tropics experiences one of the highest levels of climate variability in the world. These enormous swings
in inter-annual climate patterns cause large fluctuations in crop size, and hence, how much nitrogen should ...
Ameliorating clay sub soils to improve crop yields : Final report 2013/072
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
There are large areas of sodic duplex clay soils across the Australian sugarcane industry. Often, the sub soil on these soils is not conducive to sugarcane root growth and as a result the sugarcane roots can only explore ...
Maximising centre pivot efficiencies : Final report GGP051
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
Centre pivot irrigators are proven to be one of the most efficient irrigation systems. But
in the cane industry with long ratoon cycles, and a six month harvest season, a pivot
applying the same amount of water over ...
Improving industry returns through harvest best practice : Final report 2014/091
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
In NSW the perception was that in field harvesting losses were unacceptably high and were a result of poor harvesting practices (excessive ground and fan speeds), inadequate harvester set up (no toppers), poor crop ...
Developing a robust soybean industry in Central and Northern Queensland : Final report GGP060
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2013)
The benefits of using soybeans as a break crop during the traditional sugarcane crop fallow period has been well documented. Trials conducted under the SYDJV highlighted that legumes, such as soybeans, produced the following ...
Understanding the effect of harvester speed on subsequent ratoon performance in the Burdekin : Final report 2014/092
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
In 2014 six harvester speed trials were established in the Burdekin to investigate the effect of harvester speed
on crop yields and subsequent ratooning, and the economics associated with harvesting at different ...
Commercial scale economic evaluation of post-harvest cane cleaning to maximise the returns to the supply shain : Final report 2016/953
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
This project examined three cane supply treatments; Commercial harvesting, Low Loss harvesting and Low Loss Harvesting plus cleaning; to determine if post-harvest cane cleaning offered benefits over harvesting alone. As a ...
Enhancing the sugar industry value chain by addressing mechanical harvest losses through research, technology and adoption : Final report 2016/901
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
The project addressed the challenges of mechanical sugarcane harvesting, that include damage to the crop, cane loss from the harvester and high levels of extraneous matter sent to the mill. It did this by developing harvester ...
