Development of a trash rake : SRDC Final report BS144S
(1999)Objectives of project were: to evaluate the performance of selected commercial rakes under various field conditions; to assess the ratooning vigour of varieties after raking trash from the stool area; to develop an improved ... -
Farming systems for green cane trash blankets in cool wet conditions : SRDC final report BS63S
(1998)The three year project to evaluate different farming systems for green cane trash blanketing in cool wet conditions was directed at; evaluating the effect of different trash management practices on crop growth; evaluating ... -
GxE interactions on ratooning of genotypes under trash blankets under cool/wet conditions : SRDC final report BS169S
(2000)This project was established to investigate the magnitude of the genotype by environment interaction effect for ratooning under a trash blanketing under cool/wet conditions. A population of 50 genotypes was deemed necessary ... -
Overcoming on-farm constraints to productivity and profitability in a wet tropical area
(2003)The CCS in the wet tropics has been declining steadily for over three decades, a period in which green cane harvesting-trash blanketing (GCTB) has become standard practice among growers throughout the wet tropics. In the ... -
Short and long term impacts of green cane trash blanketing on soil fertility
(2005)In the last three decades, there has been a widespread adoption of green cane harvesting-trash blanketing (GCTB) in the Australian sugarcane industry, generally motivated by the practical advantages (e.g. weed control, ... -
Statewide adoption of best irrigation practices for supplementary and full irrigation districts : SRDC Final report BS183S
(2000)Project BS183S has researched and identified a number of means by which on-farm water use efficiency may be improved. These include the use of irrigation scheduling devices, improved furrow irrigation design and management, ... -
Sustaining un-burnt production systems in cool wet environments : SRDC Final report BSS168
(2002)This project was initiated because the Green Cane Trash Blanket (GCTB) system had been rapidly adopted within tropical districts of the Queensland sugar industry between 1984 and 1990, yet there was minimal adoption in the ...
