A stocktake of the levels and sources of nitrate in groundwaters associated with sugarcane areas
(2000)Water containing high concentrations of nitrate is unfit for human consumption and, if discharging to freshwater or marine habitats, can contribute to algal blooms and eutrophication. Previous studies have found elevated ... -
Development of criteria for draining shallow watertables in the Isis irrigation area
(1993)This project was proposed to the Sugar Research Council because qualitative data suggested a significant problem with waterlogging and salinity in hydromorphic sedimentary soils in the Bundaberg to Maryborough region. ... -
Nitrate retention at depth under sugarcane in Far North Queensland Wet Tropics
(2002)Nitrogen mass-balance studies for sugarcane grown on Ferrosols (Krasnozem) in the Far North Queensland (FNQ) wet tropics have shown 30 to 50 kg N/ha/yr of the applied fertiliser+N leached below the root-zone (<0.75 m) as ... -
Sodic soils and rising groundwater management in the Burdekin
(2013)Sodic soils are a production limiting issue for large areas of the Burdekin region. Saline soils, saline groundwater and rising groundwater tables also have a high possibility to further limit yield potential. Rising ...
