Decision support for choice of enhanced efficiency fertilisers - Herbert catchment pilot study : Final report 2017/015
Verburg, K (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEF) are of interest to the sugarcane industry because they have the potential to increase N use efficiency and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. However, agronomic and environmental benefits are ... -
How much nitrogen will that crop need? Incorporating climate forecasting to improve nitrogen management in the Wet Tropics : Final project 2015/075
Everingham, Y; Biggs, J; Schroeder, B; Skocaj, D; Thorburn, P; Sexton, J (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Determining the optimum amount of nitrogen that is required by the crop to maximise production, profitability and environmental outcomes is a challenging problem. The modelling approach taken in this project has balanced ... -
Implementing methods for wider industry adoption : SRDC final report CSE009
Jakku, E; Everingham, Y; Inman-Bamber, G; Thorburn, P (2007)Many of the challenges that the sugarcane industry faces are complex systems issues and R&D addressing these issues requires the active participation of industry stakeholders. A deeper understanding of processes that ... -
Modelling extreme yields in the Wet Tropics to improve nitrogen use efficiency : Final report 2014/024
Everingham, Y (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)The Wet Tropics experiences one of the highest levels of climate variability in the world. These enormous swings in inter-annual climate patterns cause large fluctuations in crop size, and hence, how much nitrogen should ... -
Overcoming constraints to high yield and CCS in large and lodged cane crops
Chapman, SC; Jackson, PA; Lawn, RJ (2001)Past research indicates that large sugarcane crops (that usually also happen to be lodged) experience a slowdown in growth during winter, well before harvest (Muchow et al. 1996). The project examined factors affecting the ... -
Pre-treatment of sugar cane : Final report JCU030
Jacob, MV (2011)This project developed a customised microwave applicator for the pre-treatment of sugar cane. Three undergraduate Engineering students investigated the optimisation of microwave treatment, mechanical and chemical properties. ...
