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
project to assist harvesting groups to reduce sugar loss. The principles of harvesting practice
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 ...
Restoring the balance - guidelines for managing floodgates and drainage systems on coastal floodplains
(NSW Agriculture, 2003)
Many coastal floodplains in Australia have an extensive network of floodgates, constructed drains and modified water courses. These are designed to mitigate the impacts of floods and large rainfall events. Floodgates prevent ...

(BSES, 2013)
CaneLCA calculates the eco-efficiency of sugarcane production over its lifecycle, to help sugarcane producers and their advisors identify sustainable farming practices. CaneLCA can assist sugarcane producers to:
Increasing the capacity to identify and action value chain integration opportunities
(2005)
This report provides a review of the past value chain sugar research in Australia and other countries, and formulates key messages that the Australian industry can learn upon for future value chain activities. Compared to ...
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 ...
QNR-3 the Australian On-line Agrometeorological Information Service (SILO)
(Land and Water Resources
Research and Development Corporation, 2000)
Australian agriculture operates in an extremely variable climate that impacts on productivity, profitability and resource condition. This climate variability, in conjunction with declining terms of trade, has driven farmers ...
A national climate change research strategy for primary industries
(Land and Water Australia, 2008)
Australia’s primary industries are projected to be significantly affected by climate change. The
changes in climate over the next few decades will be substantial, but the effects will vary across
the country. Some regions ...
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 ...
