Assessing nitrogen inside a plastic coat
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)The science of fertiliser use is at the frontline of an on-farm revolution that is improving producitvity and stopping nutrients such as nitrogen from harming the environment. -
Assessing the impact of biochar in the Herbert cane industry.
(2015)Biochar is the charred by-product of biomass pyrolysis, the heating of plant-derived material in the absence of oxygen in order to capture combustible gases. It is generally accepted that biochar is a highly stable form ... -
Assessing the impact that pathogen variation has on the sugarcane breeding program : SRDC final report BSS258
(BSES, 2005)In recent years, two fungal diseases of sugarcane have had a huge impact on the Australian sugar industry and the BSES CSIRO breeding and pathology programs. Sugarcane smut, caused by Ustilago scitaminea, first appeared ... -
Assessing the real nitrogen benefits to subtropical cane from soybean break crops : Final report 2016/404
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Soybeans grown as a break crop in subtropical cane rotations can fix substantial amounts of nitrogen (N), some N remains in residues even after the bulk of N has been removed in harvested beans. However, there is concern ... -
Assessing the sugar content of a crop for managing the harvesting sequence
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)Maximising whole-farm sugar yield is possible by selecting blocks to harvest with maximum Commercial Cane Sugar (CCS). -
Assessing the value of using bagasse as a paper pulp
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)A major research project is investigating the potential to turn bagasse into paper pulp, which would help greatly lift the value of a resource that is put to an otherwise low-value use. -
