Adopting systems approaches to water and nutrient management for future cane production in the Burdekin SRDC Research Project CSE020 final report
CSIRO; Sugar Research and Development Corporation; BSES; Thorburn, P (2008)There is concern about environmental impacts of cropping in catchments of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, especially losses of nitrogen (N) and herbicides from cropping systems. Sugarcane production in the Burdekin region ... -
CRC Sugar Industry innovation through biotechnology : final report 2B8
Anne Rae, A; Hodoniczky, J (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2010)Sugarcane has a highly effective carbohydrate biosynthetic and storage metabolism that has facilitated its use for the production of sucrose. Sugars are increasingly seen as low-cost, renewable organic resources which ... -
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 ... -
Improved environmental outcomes and profitability through innovative management of nitrogen SRDC research project CSE011 final report
Thorburn, P; Webster, T; Biggs, J; Biggs. I; Park, S (2008)Nitrogen (N) fertiliser additions are an important contributor to productivity and profitability in intensive farming systems, including sugarcane production. However, applying N increases losses of N to the environment, ... -
Improving the efficiency of nitrogen fertilisation of sugarcane under minimum till and trash conservation cultural conditions (Final report SRDC Project BS37S)
Chapman, LS; Freney, R; Denmead, OT; Wood, AW; Saffigna, PG (1992)Objectives of the experiments were (1) Determine the extent of NH3 volatilisation when urea and ammonium sulfate are applied to the surface of a trash blanket in four cane-growing regions. Evaluate the effect of various ... -
A new high throughput method for screening for root-knot and root-lesion nematode resistance in sugarcane : Final report 2019/401
Aitken, K; Bhuiyan, S (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)Root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus zeae) and root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne javanica) are the two most important nematode pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. They cause loses of over $82 million to the Australian sugar ... -
Optimal plot size and replication for testing clones in early stages of selection : SRDC final report CSR017
Jackson, P; McRae, TA (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 ... -
Reducing boiler maintenance costs and deferring capital expenditure through improved technology : final report 2016/020
Plaza, F; Alam, N (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)Boiler tube wear and corrosion costs the industry approximately $5 million a year in repairs, stops and inefficient operation. For example, the replacement cost of one convection bank due to wear is approximately $1 million ... -
Sugarcane for future climates : final report 2013/029
Stokes, C; Jackson, P; Basnayake, J; Inman-Bamber, G; Lakshmanan, P; Natarajan, S (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Increasing costs of irrigation in irrigated production regions, and seasonal periods of water deficits in rain-fed production regions are impacting greatly on profitability, sustainability, and expansion of the Australian ...
