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 ...
WinRHIZO software for evaluating effects of farming systems on sugarcane root systems : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Sugarcane roots are notoriously difficult to study. The opaque nature of the soil matrix, large
biomass, and ratooning habit of the crop make studying roots challenging. WinRHIZO is a
specialist root analysis software ...
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, ...
Establishing the second crop cycle into permanent beds : SRDC Final report BSS306
(2010)
The 'establishing the second crop cycle into permanent beds' project operated over a 3-year period from 2007 until 2010. The project aimed to assist growers who had adopted controlled traffic to re-establish a second crop ...
Remote sensing-based precision agriculture tools for the sugar industry : SRDC Final report DPI021
(2013)
This project aimed to develop remote sensing applications that were both relevant and of commercial benefit to the Australian sugar industry and therefore adoptable. Such applications included the in season mapping of crop ...
Provision of improved varieties and pathology services for the Ord Sugar Industry : Final report CTA043
(2012)
This project was established to introduce and evaluate new sugarcane varieties into the Ord river Irrigation Area (ORIA), and to provide advice on pathology issues relating to the ORIA. Cultivars in the ORIA currently are ...
Enhancing efficiency and integration from field to factory in the Herbert : SRDC Final report
(2010)
The Herbert sugar region underwent major strategic change in the harvesting and transport sectors, which will involve $7M investment in siding rationalisation and a substantial reduction in the number of harvesting groups. ...
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. ...
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 ...
