Climate ready sugarcane : traits for adaptation to high CO2 levels
Stokes, CJ; Inman-Bamber, NG (2014)Recent work in Brazil and Florida had shown strong responses of sugarcane to elevated CO2, even under well-watered conditions. These results were not expected from current understanding of leaf physiology, given that ... -
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
Inman-Bamber, NG; Robertson, MJ; Muchow, RC; Wood, AW (1999)Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ... -
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production; optimising the use of limited water under supplementary irrigation
Inman-Bamber, NG; Robertson, MJ; Muchow, RC; Wood, AW; Wegener, MK; Spillman, MF (2000)About 60% of sugar produced in Australia depends on irrigation. In some regions, production would be impossible without irrigation; in others, irrigation is used to supplement rainfall. It can improve production and reduce ... -
Implementation of irrigation practices for profitable resource efficient sugarcane production in the Ord : Final report CSE007
Inman-Bamber, NG (SRDC, 2006)Sugarcane is currently the major crop in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) in terms of area, occupying approximately 4000 hectares or a third of the irrigable area. It is also possible that further expansion could ... -
Increased profitability and water use efficiency through best use of limited water under supplementary irrigation : SRDC Final report CSE001
Inman-Bamber, NG (SRDC, 2005)The objectives of this project towards increased profitability and water use efficiency was to: -
Irrigation risk management strategies to reduce water use and maximize profitability; a paradigm shift in performance to $ per unit of water : Final report CTA038
Inman-Bamber, NG (SRDC, 2003)The Australian sugar industry is predisposed to maximize the benefits of irrigation because of its geographic and climatic location. However mistakes of older irrigation schemes elsewhere in Australia, need to be ... -
Knowledge of sugarcane physiology and climate-crop-soil interactions : SRDC final report
Inman-Bamber, NG (2003)Compared to other crops, knowledge of growth mechanisms in sugarcane is inadequate. The question arises as to how much longer can we continue to prosper from sugarcane if knowledge of the growth processes on which our ... -
Pathways to exploiting enhanced photosynthetic efficiency for higher sucrose and biomass yield
Inman-Bamber, NG (2011)Australia has one of the highest commercial cane sugar (CCS) levels in the world but unfortunately CCS appears to have plateaud at about 14% of fresh cane weight over the past 20 years. Up to now in breeding programs, ... -
SRDC Research Project final report Increased CCS, cane yield and water use efficiency by exploiting interactions between genetics and management
Inman-Bamber, NG (2009)In October 2003 delegates at an international workshop on sugarcane physiology funded by SRDC concluded that priority should be directed at a better understanding of traits responsible for high yield and high sucrose ...
