Automating harvester and haulout forward progression during harvest utilizing DGPS : SRA Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2010)
Issue: The issue that this project sought to address was to increase the performance of the harvester and haul-out during forward progression. This issue has ramifications through the entire sugar value chain as losses at ...
Identifying management zones within cane paddocks: an essential foundation for precision sugarcane agriculture : SRDC Final report BPS001
(2011)
Variability in plant growth across spatial zones within sugarcane crops arises from the complex interactions of soil nutritional status, soil physical properties (especially soil texture), surface and subsurface drainage, ...
Integrating and optimising farm-to-mill decisions to maximise industry profitability : SRDC Final report CSE005
(2006)
Late in the 1990’s, the Australian sugar industry recognised the need to achieve increased integration across its value chain, so as to reduce costs and increase international competitiveness. Past projects and independent ...
