| Abstract | The project aimed to maximise commercial cane sugar (CCS), sugar yields (TSPH) and
industry profitability in the Herbert region by exploiting regional variation in CCS, soil
moisture and trafficability. There is significant potential to increase total sugar
production, and individual grower and district CCS through better management of
harvesting scheduling. |
| Abstract | A collaborative partnership developed among BSES Limited, CANEGROWERS Herbert
River, QMCHA, CSR Sugar, and other research and extension organisations to investigate
opportunities to improve monetary returns from the harvested crop. A consultative group
was established to guide the research and implementation of the outcomes of the project;
this group contained representatives from BSES, CANEGROWERS Herbert River,
QMCHA, CSR Sugar, HCPSL and CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems. |
| Abstract | The project developed information packages and tools to assist with the decision-making
process on when to harvest particular blocks on farms, optimum season start and finish
times for different areas, and opportunities manage cane to maximise CCS, particularly
for early harvest. |
