    A guide to characterising Australian sugarcane soils
    (CRC, 2003) Eldridge, SM
    The purpose of this book is to help those who are variously responsible for developing, promulgating or implementing advice on how to best manage sugar soils in an agronomic context. In particular, it emphasises the importance of detailed knowledge of soils and describes how to select a research site and characterise a soil. The book provides contemporary understanding of the main soils of the sugar industry, how to recognise them and their key properties, how they behave, and how they should be managed. CRC Sugar is proud to have been able to sponsor the development of the book. We trust that it will prove a valuable resource for those whose task it is to ensure a healthy and sustainable future for the soils of the sugar lands.

    Soil-specific nutrient management guidelines for sugarcane production in the Bundaberg District
    (BSES, 2007) Schroeder, B; Panitz, J; Wood, A; Moody, P; Salter, B
    In 2003 and 2006 soil reference booklets for the Herbert and Proserpine districts respectively, entitled Soil Specific Management Guidelines for Sugarcane Production were produced for cane growers. Those booklets described the basic principles of soil management and presented nutrient guidelines for a range of soils. We are now in the position to present a similar booklet aimed at soil-specific nutrient management in the Bundaberg 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 Envirofund project (Improved adoption of best-practice nutrient management: Bundaberg Sugar Industry).
