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 ...
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 ...
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : Final report 2019/951
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
Patane (et al. 2019) determined that Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives.
1. Defining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields improved to ...
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 ...
