Evaluating the leaf chlorophyll meter as a tool for nitrogen management in sugarcane
(1995)
Nitrogen is an important constituent of chlorophyll, the compound that gives plants their green colour and the compound that absorbs radiation energy as the basis of plant growth. When nitrogen is in short supply, the ...
Sugar Research and Development Corporation final report Project CTA013 Spatial analysis of the impact of land use on nutrient loads within the Herbert River Catchment
(1998)
This Project arose out of concerns for the apparent increase in nutrient and sediment contaminant loads in Queensland coastal waters since European settlement (e.g. DEAP Report, 1992). At the time of Project inception, the ...
Final report to the Sugar Research and Development Corporation CTA007 A modelling framework to integrate research on nitrogen management of sugarcane
(1996)
This project used a measurement and modelling approach to explore the processes controlling nitrogen supply and losses in the crop and soil elements of sugarcane production systems. Measurements took place both in the field ...
Evaluating the potential for improved sugar yields by assessing the climatic and soil constraints to production in southern cane-growing districts
(1999)
This project conducted strategic research to better understand the processes of yield accumulation in low temperature NSW environments and to identify limits to yield. The fundamental knowledge gained in this project can ...
Improving the efficiency of nitrogen fertilisation of sugarcane under minimum till and trash conservation cultural conditions (Final report SRDC Project BS37S)
(1992)
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 ...
Environmentally sound phosphorus management for sugarcane soils : final report on SRDC Project no CSS3S
(1998)
A field and laboratory-based survey of the behaviour of phosphorus (P) was carried out on the soils of the lower Herbert River catchment, and sediments derived from them. The aim was to explore the factors governing P ...
SRDC Final Report - Project BS142S: Economic cost of soil compaction
(1999)
Objectives of this project were: Adapt a Scandinavian model to determine the effect of soil compaction on crop yield for the Australian sugar industry; Relate crop response to degree of compactness by examining current and ...
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)
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 ...
Comparison of 'into' and 'beside' stool nitrogen placement
(1992)
There are now two alternative methods of subsurface nitrogen placement available: beside the stool or into the stool. The second, into the stool treatment, is easier to accomplish. Comparison of cane yields from strips ...
