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 ...
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 ...
Technical Report - Evaluation of a Roving Capacitance Probe for Measuring Soil Moisture
(1998)
In the Proserpine area of central Queensland, Australia, trials were conducted to evaluate the performance of a proving capacitance probe for determining soil moisture. Soil moisture was monitored using both a neutron ...
Sugar Research and Development Corporation final report Increasing sugar cane yields by improvements in soil structure
(1998)
A project to increase sugar cane yields by improvements in soil structure was conducted at Broadwater, NSW. It was instigated in response to the poor physical structure of many cane soils and poor root development in many ...
Finite element and durability modelling of roller shells and shafts : final report JCU6S
(BSES, 1998)
The technology that has been adopted by the Australian raw sugar industry for roller shells and shafts has evolved over the past 40 years. Apart from Crawford's theoretical calculations on shell design and Cullen's factory ...
Determination of fracture properties of cast steels : final report JCU9S
(SRDC, 1998)
Technology currently exists to estimate the structural durability of cracked sugar mill gears and mill roller shafts. Both SRDC projects JCU2S (Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed gears) and JCU6S (finite ...
Developing a framework for advancing road transportation of sugarcane : SRDC final report SD98013
(BSES, 1998)
An objective of this project was to initiate a research program for the road transportation of sugarcane. Future research projects will be undertaken with the knowledge and cooperation of key parties and therefore have ...
Promotion of integrated pest management in sugarcane: Final report BS184
(1998)
Associate Professor and agricultural science writer Lisa Halvorsen was invited to work with the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations for five months. Her aim was to help develop effective communications strategies for ...
Key factors in control of Greyback Canegrub populations : SRDC final report BS120S
(BSES, 1998)
Greyback canegrub outbreaks with severe losses in sugar production have persisted for more than six years in the Burdekin district, but population densities of the pest have declined at locations in the Herbert Valley, ...
