A review of nitrogen use efficiency in sugarcane
(2015)
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is the world's largest coral reef ecosystem, providing both substantial economic benefit to Australia and significant international ecological value. The health of the GBR is under pressure ...
Boosting NUE in sugarcane through temporal and spatial management options : Final report 2014/045
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
This collaborative project involved the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) and the Sugar Research Australia (SRA) Technology Unit. It aimed to evaluate methods of matching nitrogen (N) supply (from soils and fertilisers) ...
A field experiment to evaluate the response of sugarcane varieties to waterlogging
(ASSCT, 2018)
RECENT PRODUCTIVITY REVIEWS in the Herbert and Central regions identified strong
negative correlations between excessive rainfall and productivity. Waterlogging has a
significant effect on sugarcane productivity. It ...
Nitrogen availability from legume and past fertiliser history : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
It is likely that land-based activities within the Australian sugar industry have a negative effect on the quality of water in the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. Improvements to nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) are likely to ...
Aspects of temporal N management in sugarcane in sub-tropical Queensland : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
The proximity of the Australian sugar industry to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has resulted in ongoing concerns about elevated concentrations of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the near-reef environments due to ...
Evaluation of genotypes for a controlled traffic farming system : SRDC Final report BSS296
(BSES, 2012)
The Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture concluded that, in order to improve soil health, the
sugar industry should break the monoculture using fallow legume crops, adopt controlled
traffic and reduce soil cultivation. ...
Too wet to forget - reducing the impact of excessive rainfall on productivity : Final report 2014/046
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Too wet to forget – reducing the impact of excessive rainfall on productivity, was established due to
the large productivity losses associated with La-Nina events in the sugarcane industry. The effect of
waterlogging ...
Improved sugarcane farming systems : SRDC Final report BSS286
(2010)
This project - Improved Sugarcane Farming Systems (BSS286) - was designed to build on the outcomes of phase 1 and 2 or the Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture (STDJV). Thus its main focus was on issues that had been identified ...
