(ASSCT, 2021)
In 2019, the Australian sugarcane industry conducted a month-long demonstration with 12 trials to determine the commercial viability of harvesting best practice. Initiated by a small group of innovative growers and contractors ...
Cost assessment of the adoption of harvesting best practice (HBP) : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Using ground speeds and extractor fan speeds recommended by Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) will minimise cane loss and stool damage. While these benefits provide an incentive for growers to request contractors use HBP ...
Harvesting groups; the key to improving harvesting practice : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
In the 2017 and 2018 crushing seasons, Sugar Research Australia Limited (SRA) conducted a

to reduce loss have been well ...
Investigating losses from green and burnt cane harvesting conditions : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2020)
Despite much research into the impact of high harvester pour rates and fan speeds on harvested cane yields, there has been low adoption of HBP (harvesting best practice) across the industry. Full adoption across the ...
Economic evaluation of sugarcane harvesting best practice (HBP) : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Mechanical sugarcane harvesting is commonly undertaken at ground speeds that exceed the cleaning capacity of modern harvesters, which is likely to increase extraneous matter (EM) levels in the cane supply. To attempt to ...
