dc.description.abstractThe appropriate selection of sugarcane varieties is critical for maximising profitability and sustainability for both growers and millers in the Australian sugarcane industry. Growers are faced with many complex decisions when selecting varieties such as yield potential, suitability to soil type, optimum mix of varieties to maximize sugar content throughout the season, resistance to diseases and pests, ratooning ability and tolerance to stresses such as drought, frost and flooding. This project has developed a web-based variety decision support tool and information resource for the Australian sugarcane industry named QCANESelect to help growers make the best variety choices.
