Quantifying and managing sources of sediments and nutrients in low-lying canelands : Project no CLW007 - final report
(2003)
Queensland’s north-east coast are used for sugar production. Various studies investigating sediment discharge from catchments where sugar is an important land use have demonstrated that sediment export from cane lands often ...
Improving the management of acid and sodic soils with green trash retention using calcium-based ameliorants/products : SRDC final project report BSS199
(2003)
Although the advantages of leaving cane residues on the harvested land have been well documented, and nutrient cycling in relation to green-cane trash blanketing has been well examined within a Cooperative Research Centre ...
A reference booklet for canegrowers on the nutrition and fertilizing of sugarcane for different soil types
(2003)
A wide range of different soils are used for sugarcane production in the Herbert River district. An understanding of these differences both at district and farm levels will ensure that nutrient management reflects this ...
Assessing clonal and nitrogen interaction on ccs in sugarcane in the wet tropis ; SRDC project BSS180 final report
(2003)
There has been a negative trend in CCS in the Tully-Mossman region since the mid-1960s that has been linked to increased extraneous matter and suckers in the cane supply. The situation had become particularly bad during ...
Overcoming on-farm constraints to productivity and profitability in a wet tropical area
(2003)
The CCS in the wet tropics has been declining steadily for over three decades, a period in which green cane harvesting-trash blanketing (GCTB) has become standard practice among growers throughout the wet tropics. In the ...
Final report SRDC Project CLW009 Improving yield and ccs in sugarcane through the application of silicon based amendments
(2003)
Under high leaching environments common to the wet tropics, soils undergo significant weathering, which, when combined with accelerated chemical and physical degradation due to soil perturbation and crop removal, results ...
The economic advantage of reduced tillage planting of sugarcane in Australia
(2003)
Land preparation for planting sugarcane is a major cost to growers. Currently growers may undertake up to eight tillage passes to prepare a seedbed for planting. However, this number of passes is considerably less than ...
Ratooning and ratoon management in overseas cane-sugar industries
(2003)
Travel was undertaken to Florida, Louisiana, Brazil and Argentina in March-April 1994 and to southern Africa in October 1994. I assessed the environments and management of production systems in relation to productivity ...
Final report Sugar Research and Development Corporation Preparation of a CD Rom library of plant-parasitic nematodes
(2003)
Plant parasitic nematodes are of considerable importance to all cropping industries within Australia. Losses caused by plant parasitic nematodes currently recorded in Australia is estimated at between $300 to 450 million. ...
Enhancing resistance to yellow spot disease": SRDC final project report BSS245
(BSES, 2003)
Yellow spot is a leaf disease caused by the fungus Mycovellosiella koepkei. Although known in Queensland since 1950, some facets of the disease have never been adequately researched. Yellow spot principally, but not ...
