Fibre characteristics of cane - results of measurements carried out at Bundaberg during 1987 season

Abstract

During September, 1987 a total of twenty-three samples of cane were tested for extreme fibre characteristics at BSES in Bundaberg. The main purpose of this testing program, which was introduced during 1986 season, is to screen all prospective Q canes prior to their release to obtain some indication which varieties are likely to cause handling problems during the milling process.
