Evaluating the leaf chlorophyll meter as a tool for nitrogen management in sugarcane
(1995)
Nitrogen is an important constituent of chlorophyll, the compound that gives plants their green colour and the compound that absorbs radiation energy as the basis of plant growth. When nitrogen is in short supply, the ...
Evaluation of nutrient enriched biodunder for sugarcane : a review
(1995)
The review looks at the advantages and disadvantages of fertilising with biodunder\urea compared with applying biodunder and urea separately. The review concludes with 6 recommendations for the use of biodunder\urea\sulfuric ...
Project 921 - rates of biodunder for sugarcane : final report
(1995)
The BSES recommendation for a maximum application rate is considered adequate to maximise returns and production for ratoon crops on the majority of Mackay soils. As the experiments were conducted only on ratoon crops, ...
Review of sodic soils research in the Queensland sugar industry
(1995)
Increasing levels of sodium on the clay, in the absence of high levels of soluble salts, are not believed to be toxic to the cane plant. Any adverse effect on crop production is through deterioration of the soil structure ...
Acid sulfate soils in canegrowing regions of northern New South Wales
(1995)
Acid sulfate subsoils contain iron pyrites (FeS2). Pyrites is stable under anaerobic (saturated) conditions, but when oxidised forms sufuric acid and releases mobile Fe2+ ion. Soil pH can be reduced to as low as 2 and ...
Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed sugar mill gears : final report JCU2S
(BSES, 1995)
Heavy low speed gearing used by the Australian Sugar Industry is manufactured according to
code specifications. These gears fail in several ways with the most common failure modes being
the gradual surface fatigue of ...

Chlorotic streak is a disease of unknown etiology affecting 30-50,000 ha of caneland in Queensland annually. The disease is present in all canegrowing districts but is of greatest incidence in the Herbert River and Rocky ...
Control of soldier fly with controlled-release insecticides : final report CO95011
(BSES, 1995)
The activity of controlled-release granules against soldier fly larvae was evaluated in laboratory bioassays. Five different active ingredients were tested in a range of granule sizes. The product selected as the most ...
