Soil-specific nutrient management guidelines for sugarcane production in the Mackay District
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015) Salter, B; Schroeder, B; Panitz, J; Calcino, D; Wood, A
In the last 10 years, soil reference booklets for the Herbert, Proserpine, Johnstone, Bundaberg, Plane Creek, New South Wales and Isis districts, entitled Soil-Specific Management Guidelines for Sugarcane Production, were produced for the industry. These booklets describe the basic principles of soil management and present nutrient guidelines for a range of district soils. We are now in the position to present a similar booklet aimed at soil-specific nutrient management in the Mackay district. This is based on a methodology developed within an SRDC-funded project (Improved nutrient management in the Australian sugar industry) and research conducted in the area as part of an Australian Government funded project (Improved adoption of best-practice nutrient management).
