Improving the efficiency of nitrogen fertilisation of sugarcane under minimum till and trash conservation cultural conditions (Final report SRDC Project BS37S)
(1992) Chapman, LS; Freney, R; Denmead, OT; Wood, AW; Saffigna, PG
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 placements of urea in a trash blanket under wet and dry moisture regimes by quantifying the amount of N recovered in the soil-plant system.
Project No 2025: Final report bench testing of new nitrogen products for potential ammonia volatilisation: when boradcast onto soil or sugarcane trash (N-gold "A", N-gold "B")
(1996) Chapman, LS; Haysom, MBC; Makepeace, P
N-Gold "A" and N-Gold "B" are granulated products containing urea and calcium oxide with 42.4 and 43.2 % N and 1.5 and 1.3 % Ca respectively. When broadcast onto soil or a green cane trash blanket, ammonia volatilisation losses were not different to those from prilled or granulated urea when tested in the maboratory. These products produced a more alkaline solution than urea and, in theory, this would slightly increase the ammonia volatilisation losses, but this did not happen in this experiment.N-Gold "A" and N-Gold "B", when analysed for N content in 0.5g samples, showed more variation than for the prilled or granulated urea. This variation is unlikely to cause any deleterious effects when used as a fertiliser but could have implications for quality control
