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 ...
Improving the yields of ratoon crops of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS7S
(SRDC, 1992)
The economics of sugarcane growing improve with the number of ratoon crops which can be grown from a single planting. In Australia, declining yields with increase in the number of ratoons limit a cycle to three to five ...
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 ...
Developing remote sensing as an industry wide yield forecasting, nitrogen mapping and research aid : Final report 2013/025
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
The science of Earth Observation (EO) is a rapidly developing discipline that has seen an unprecedented rise in remote sensing technologies and application development, including those in agriculture. The Australian sugarcane ...
Evaluation of genotypes for a controlled traffic farming system : SRDC Final report BSS296
(BSES, 2012)
The Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture concluded that, in order to improve soil health, the
sugar industry should break the monoculture using fallow legume crops, adopt controlled
traffic and reduce soil cultivation. ...
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 ...
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 ...
