    Support of cane farmer trials of enhanced efficiency fertiliser in the catchments of the Great Barrier Reef : Final report 2016/807
    (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2022-01) Connellan, J; Thompson, M
    There is growing pressure from community and government for farmers located within the Great Barrier Reef catchments to reduce nutrient losses. Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEFs) provide an opportunity to improve nitrogen (N) fertiliser uptake by sugarcane crops by better matching N supply with crop demand. Complementary benefits from improving fertiliser N uptake efficiency are the resultant improvements in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and reduced risk of nitrate losses.
