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 ...
Final report SRDC Project CSR024 Improving the environment for sugarcane growth through the amelioration of soil acidity
(2002)
Most soils used for growing sugarcane in wet tropical northern Queensland are highly acidic. Comparisons between new cane land and land that has been growing sugarcane for many years have demonstrated that our soils have ...
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 ...
Risk assessment of phosphorus (P) loss and guidelines for P use in lower Herbert soils Final report on SRDC Project No CLW010
(2000)
In project CSS3S (Bramley et aI., 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 ...
Effect of long-term application of potassium on sugarcane and soil properties in the Herbert River district : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Excess potassium (K) fertiliser use can have a significant effect on sugar quality and refining
costs but offers no benefit to sugarcane crop yield. Potassium fertiliser guidelines are based on
soil texture and two ...
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production; optimising the use of limited water under supplementary irrigation
(2000)
About 60% of sugar produced in Australia depends on irrigation. In some regions, production would be impossible without irrigation; in others, irrigation is used to supplement rainfall. It can improve production and reduce ...
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
(1999)
Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ...
Adoption of an optimal season length for increased industry profitability : SRDC Final report BSS264
(BSES, 2007)
The project aimed to maximise commercial cane sugar (CCS), sugar yields (TSPH) and
industry profitability in the Herbert region by exploiting regional variation in CCS, soil
moisture and trafficability. There is ...
