Assessing clonal and nitrogen interaction on ccs in sugarcane in the wet tropis ; SRDC project BSS180 final report
Hurney, AP; Berding, N; Grace, D (2003)There has been a negative trend in CCS in the Tully-Mossman region since the mid-1960s that has been linked to increased extraneous matter and suckers in the cane supply. The situation had become particularly bad during ... -
Does ratoon age impact on N-fertiliser requirements in the Wet Tropics? : ASSCT poster paper
Skocaj, DM; Schroeder, BL; Park, G; Hurney, AP (ASSCT, 2019) -
Environmental stimuli for sugarcane suckering in the wet tropics : SRDC final report BSS221
Berding, N; Hurney, AP; Bonnett, GD; Joseph, F (2003)The northern section of the industry has been in crisis for most of the years in the decade up to 2002 because of declining CCS. This decline has been due to increased extraneous matter levels due largely to increased ... -
evelopment of a strategy for selection of high-CCS cultivars for high-fertility environments in northern Queensland : SRDC Final report BSS179
Berding, N; Hurney, AP; Swain, RS (2004)The need to develop a strategy for cultivar development for high-fertility soils present in northern Queensland was driven by industry concerns regarding a declining CCS pattern in years prior to commencement of this ... -
Factors affecting the sugar content of sugar cane in the wet tropics of Queensland: statistical analysis of ccs data at Babinda and Tully
Sturgess, OW; Hogarth, DM; Hurney, AP; Leverington, KC (BSES, 1972)In the wet tropics, the sugar content of crops is usually below the state's average and is a critical factor in farm economy, particularly during years of low sugar prices. This aspect of sugar production has been the ... -
Farm assessment of productivity limits in the wet tropics : SRDC Final report BSS159
Hurney, AP; Bown, PA (2000)There is an ongoing concern in the wet tropics over productivity levels, particularly with regard to low CCS. Previously, productivity trends within the region have been assessed utilising mill area statistics (Smith, ... -
Improving the yields of ratoon crops of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS7S (AMENDED)
Chapman, LS; Ferraris, R; Ludlow, MM; Hurney, AP (1993)The economics of sugarcane growing improve with the number of ratoon crops which can be grown from a single planting. In Australia, declining yields with increase in the number of ratoons limit a cycle to three to five ... -

Influence of harvester basecutters on ratooning of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BSS123
Hurney, AP; Croft, BJ; Grace, D; Richards, DR (2005)Current single row mechanical sugarcane harvesters use twin rotary basecutters with multiple blades to produce an impact cut in the stalk at or near ground level. However, the cane stubble is often damaged during harvesting, ... -
Phytotoxic substances associated with the decomposition of sugarcane trash residues. (Final report SRDC Project BS31S)
Hurney, AP; Ridge, DR (1992)Ratooning through trash blankets is generally effective with minor exceptions for certain varieties and in cold or waterlogged soils. Information was required to determine whether these effects are normal reactions of slow ... -
Soil compaction studies - Mossman
Hurney, AP (1975)Study was initiated to investigate the effects of the different bin transport systems on soil compaction. Compaction under dry soil conditions does not appear to be a serious problem and can ve overcome by cultivation. ... -
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
Croft, BJ; Magarey, RC; Hurney, AP; Reghenzani, JR (1990)Yields of most crops are known to decrease if that crop is grown continuously without fallowing or rotation with other crop species. Sugarcane has been grown continuously on many fields in Queensland for 50-100 years. ... -
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
Croft, BJ; Magarey, RC; Hurney, AP; Reghenzani, JR (1991)Evidence from investigations into fumigation, fungicide application, fallowing and growth of sugarcane on recently cultivated soils strongly suggests that yields in established cane growing areas are being restricted by ... -
Spatial distribution of potential soil constraints affecting nitrogen management in the Wet Tropics : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Skocaj, DM; Schroeder, BL; Hurney, AP; Rigby, A; Telford, D (ASSCT, 2019)Position in the landscape and climatic conditions experienced during the growing season, especially following the application of nitrogen (N) fertiliser, has important implications for crop growth, N uptake and N losses. ...
