How much nitrogen will that crop need? Incorporating climate forecasting to improve nitrogen management in the Wet Tropics : Final project 2015/075
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
Determining the optimum amount of nitrogen that is required by the crop to maximise production, profitability and environmental outcomes is a challenging problem. The modelling approach taken in this project has balanced ...
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 ...
Spatially explicit estimation of Achievable Yield Potential – An improved basis for fertilizer management: final report 2015/070
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Current practice in implementing the SIX EASY STEPS (6ES) is to use the ‘district yield potential’ (DYP) to guide development of nitrogen (N) fertilizer recommendations. However, because both land (soil, topography) and ...
Delivering a novel DNA-based diagnostic for root health to the sugar industry: final report 2015/042
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Plant root systems play many key roles including nutrients and water uptake, interface with soil microorganisms and resistance to lodging. Unfortunately, as for any other crop, large and systematic studies of sugarcane ...
Strategies to manage soil-borne fungi and mitigate sugarcane yield decline : Final report 2013/101
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
Culture–dependent and culture-independent analyses of sugarcane rhizosphere fungal and oomycete communities were conducted across two cropping seasons at two sites. Agronomic treatments included replant continuous cane, ...
Assessing the impact of biochar in the Herbert cane industry.
(2015)
Biochar is the charred by-product of biomass pyrolysis, the heating of plant-derived material in the absence of oxygen in order to capture combustible gases. It is generally accepted that biochar is a highly stable form ...
Herbert Water Quality Monitoring Project: final Report 2011/003
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
The Herbert River Catchment is situated in the Wet Tropics Region of Far North Queensland and covers approximately 10,000 square kilometers and unlike many other coastal streams in the wet tropics, the Herbert River has a ...
Decision support for choice of enhanced efficiency fertilisers - Herbert catchment pilot study : Final report 2017/015
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEF) are of interest to the sugarcane industry because they have the potential to increase N use efficiency and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. However, agronomic and environmental benefits are ...
A review of nitrogen use efficiency in sugarcane
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
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 ...
Improvement of internal soil drainage and yield on heavy clay soils in the Herbert.
(2015)
The Herbert consists of large areas of clay soils being approximately 60% of soils being sugarcane farmed within the region. These soils are usually nutritionally fertile; however yield potential is limited due to waterlogging. ...
