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
project to assist harvesting groups to reduce sugar loss. The principles of harvesting practice
to reduce loss have been well ...
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 ...
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 ...
Commercial scale economic evaluation of post-harvest cane cleaning to maximise the returns to the supply shain : Final report 2016/953
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
This project examined three cane supply treatments; Commercial harvesting, Low Loss harvesting and Low Loss Harvesting plus cleaning; to determine if post-harvest cane cleaning offered benefits over harvesting alone. As a ...
