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 ...
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 ...
Optimal plot size and replication for testing clones in early stages of selection : SRDC final report CSR017
(1998)
The aim of CSRO 17 was to identifY optimal plot design, replication and selection criteria for testing and selecting clones in small plots in early stages of selection in sugarcane breeding programs. Problems associated ...
Optimum selection strategies in original seedlings particularly for heavily lodged crops : SRDC final report BS46S
(1999)
The objectives for this project were: to evaluate the effectiveness of family selection in the plant crop of original seedlings of sugarcane grown to full crop potential in the Burdekin region. The crop will probably be ...
An assessment of surge-irrigation in the Burdekin : Final report CSR35
(1992)
Furrow irrigation is the natural choice for sugarcane. It is relatively cheap to operate and generally not capital intensive, However in operation furrow irrigation has distinct limitations. It is generally inefficient in ...
Increasing irrigation efficiencies in the Australian Sugar Industry : Final report BSE2
(1997)
Over 20 furrow irrigation sites on the Burdekin Delata were monitored by sugarcane growers for water use through the 1995/96 and 1996/97 seasons. Irrigation efficiencies varied from less than 20% to nearly 70%. Demonstration ...
