Measurement of in-field sucrose loss by mobile refractometry : SRDC Final report BSS318
(2013)
A world-first mobile system to measure sugar loss during harvesting has been developed and successfully field tested. This sugar is lost in all parts of the field residue: trash, tops, smashed billets and juice extracted ...
A collaborative approach to Precision Agriculture RDE for the Australian Sugar Industry : Final report CSE022
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
Strong sugar industry interest in Precision Agriculture (PA) has developed during the 2000s on the back of considerable progress with PA in other Australian agricultural sectors (grains and wine in particular), attempts ...
Sensors for improved harvesting feedback: evaluation of suitability : Final report 2016/954
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
A feasibility study was conducted to investigate the value and application of sensors in the harvesting environment for improved feedback for quality and loss control. A desktop study, this project (a) investigated the ...
Understanding interactions between basecutters and other forward-feed components with the cane stalk : Final report 2016/952
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
Increasing harvesting speed has been necessary to facilitate the large increases in productivity required by the harvesting fleet to manage sugarcane-industry cost pressures. Whilst the power and processing throughput of ...

thorough understanding of why ...
Cropping solutions for the sugarcane farming systems of the Burdekin : Final report 2011/922
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
The 'Cropping solutions for sugarcane farming systems of the Burdekin' project investigated cropping opportunities within the sugar dominant farming systems of the Burdekin. The project was designed to assess the impact ...
Modelling extreme yields in the Wet Tropics to improve nitrogen use efficiency : Final report 2014/024
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
The Wet Tropics experiences one of the highest levels of climate variability in the world. These enormous swings
in inter-annual climate patterns cause large fluctuations in crop size, and hence, how much nitrogen should ...
Ameliorating clay sub soils to improve crop yields : Final report 2013/072
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
There are large areas of sodic duplex clay soils across the Australian sugarcane industry. Often, the sub soil on these soils is not conducive to sugarcane root growth and as a result the sugarcane roots can only explore ...
Maximising centre pivot efficiencies : Final report GGP051
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
Centre pivot irrigators are proven to be one of the most efficient irrigation systems. But
