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 ...
Project No 2025: Final report bench testing of new nitrogen products for potential ammonia volatilisation: when boradcast onto soil or sugarcane trash (N-gold "A", N-gold "B")
(1996)
N-Gold "A" and N-Gold "B" are granulated products containing urea and calcium oxide with 42.4 and 43.2 % N and 1.5 and 1.3 % Ca respectively. When broadcast onto soil or a green cane trash blanket, ammonia volatilisation ...
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, ...
Evaluation of biostil dunder and mixtures with nitrogen fertilisers for sugarcane nutrition
(1990)
The aims of this project were: (a) to measure the cane and sugar yield responses from the application of biostil dunder on its own and in mixtures with nitrogen fertilisers in field trials; and (b) to assess the suitability ...
Report on evaluation of nutrient enhancement of biodunder for cane growth
(1992)
Three yield trials were conducted to evaluate strategies for the use of biodunder as a fertiliser for sugarcane. Cane growth in the trials was adversely affected by the weather, which was dry in summer, followed by ...
Irrigation water use in the Eton irrigation scheme
(1994)
The objectives of the survey were: to determine irrigation management strategies used by the canegrowers; to determine water use efficiency for individual blocks; and to identify irrigation practices which affect water use ...
Evaluate sugar beet for potential to produce sugar at Mackay Sugar Experiment Stations : final report TE93005
(BSES, 1993)
Can sugar beet be profitably grown at Mackay? Sugar yields from beets are continuing to increase in overseas countries. Results from experiments at Kalamia Estate in the Burdekin area indicated that sugar beet out-yielded ...
Improving the yields of ratoon crops of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS7S
(SRDC, 1992)
The economics of sugarcane growing improve with the number of ratoon crops which can be grown from a single planting. In Australia, declining yields with increase in the number of ratoons limit a cycle to three to five ...
Improving the ratooning ability of sugarcane : SRDC Final report BS100S
(1996)
Good ratooning cultivars has attributes of rapdi canopy development, associated with early development of adequate stalk numbers, for increased interception of light in early growth, an stability of harvested stalk weight ...
