Nuffield scholar looks at Brazil planting system
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)When Joe Muscat set out on his Nuffield Scholarship he had three main objectives regarding fibre crops, but along the way he discovered something else. -
Nutrient management from variable rate technology in a control traffic system by the Oakenden Grower Group : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2008)The aim of the project is to determine the benefits of nutrient management system in a controlled traffic farming enterprise in an environmentally sustainable manner. The project will determine the cost benefits by comparing ... -
On level ground : mastering your soils for greater productivity and profitability
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)The term soil health has been defined in various ways, but here, is referred to as: A measure of soil physical, chemical and biological condition that reflects the capacity of a given soil to support a profitable and ... -
On the hunt for improved NUE options
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)A background in split fertiliser application in other industries has led Burdekin canegrower Chris Lyne to investigate enhanced efficiency fertilisers. Burdekin sugarcane grower Chris Lyne has seen record-breaking yields ... -

(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2009)New policies and market drivers are currently being implemented to stimulate additional investment in technologies and energy sources which result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition there is a rising demand ... -
Optimal plot size and replication for testing clones in early stages of selection : SRDC final report CSR017
(1998)The aim of CSRO 17 was to identifY optimal plot design, replication and selection criteria for testing and selecting clones in small plots in early stages of selection in sugarcane breeding programs. Problems associated ... -
Optimisation of cultural practices for efficient mechanical harvesting : SRDC Final report BS20S
(1991)Some progress has already been made in identifying field conditions and practices which lead to high dirt levels. These include lodged cane, wet field conditions and cutting with the harvester basecutter below ground ... -
Optimisation of experimental design and analysis for variety trials to maximise genetic gain : SRDC final report UQ023
(2001)The analysis of field experimental data usually assumes independent observations. This method is often inappropriate if the data contain strong spatial trends. Methods of analysis (commonly used in cereal trials) which ... -
Optimisation of nutrient management of the Queensland sugar industry : SRDC final report BSS176
(2002)This project, BSS176, set out to give the sugar industry an indication of how bringing nitrogen rates back to within BSES recommended levels would not only save production costs, but also improve ccs, thus improving ... -
Optimisation of the initial stages of the New South Wales selection program : SRDC final project report BS96S
