Evaluation of biostil dunder and mixtures with nitrogen fertilisers for sugarcane nutrition
(1990)
The aims of this project were: (a) to measure the cane and sugar yield responses from the application of biostil dunder on its own and in mixtures with nitrogen fertilisers in field trials; and (b) to assess the suitability ...
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
(1990)
Yields of most crops are known to decrease if that crop is grown continuously without fallowing or rotation with other crop species. Sugarcane has been grown continuously on many fields in Queensland for 50-100 years. ...
The effect of zinc deficiency as a factor limiting sugarcane growth (SRC Project BS14S - Final Report)
(1990)
Results from this project confirm that substantial yield responses to zinc application can be expected in deficient soils in North Queensland. Deficiency is commonly associated with lime application. Three soil and two ...
Improving water penetration in the Burdekin
(1990)
Poor water penetration represents the greatest source of preventable yield loss in the Burdekin district. The problem occurs in all four mill areas in the district with about 18 000 ha affected to some degree. Cane yield ...
Hygroscopic water in sugarcane : final report 114
(CSR, 1990)
At the 1989 Workshop on Cane Analysis conducted by the Sugar
Research Council it emerged that the best technical method of cane
analysis for the Australian industry was the direct cane analysis
method (DCA) employing ...
Towards functional specifications of a sampling scheme for commercial sampling of prepared cane : final report V89/17
(BSES, 1990)
Payment by Australian sugar mills to sugar can growers has for many years been based
on samples of "first expressed juice" - the juice squeezed from prepared cane at the
number one mill. This basis for payment is ...
High grade sugar recovery using a continuous centrifuge : final report BSC25
(Bundaberg Sugar company Limited, 1990)
This project report describes the conversion of an existing batch high grade centrifuge to a continuous unit (termed a hybrid fugal) and an assessment of its performance characteristics.
Viability of the seed of itch grass (Rottboellia cochinchinensis) in the Burdekin district
(BSES, 1990)
Itch grass, raoul grass, or guinea fowl grass emerged as a problem weed of sugarcane fields in the Burdekin district of North Queensland during the late 1970s - early 1980s. It is considered to be a native of tropical ...
Varietal control of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane
(BSES, 1990)
Ratoon stunting disease, caused by the xylem-limited bacterium Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli, is prevalent in most sugarcane-producing countries, including Australia. It is regarded as the most damaging disease of sugarcane ...
