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 ...
Investigation of mangrove dieback Pioneer River Estuary, Mackay
(2002)
This report discusses the results of an investigation to establish a potential cause of the mangrove dieback that has occurred within the Pioneer River estuary and Bassett Basin, Mackay, Central Queensland from 1998 to ...
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 ...
Assessing clonal and nitrogen interaction on ccs in sugarcane in the wet tropis ; SRDC project BSS180 final report
(2003)
There has been a negative trend in CCS in the Tully-Mossman region since the mid-1960s that has been linked to increased extraneous matter and suckers in the cane supply. The situation had become particularly bad during ...
Strategic tillage to reduce soil structural degradation and improve productivity : SRDC final project report BSS143
(2002)
Focus groups of growers were convened to discuss industry attitude and reasons for non-adoption of reduced tillage planting. It was largely agreed that compared with ten to fifteen years ago the industry had moved to ...
Final report : SRDC project BSS198 : Improving nutrition management and recommendations by analysing historical soil analysis database
(2001)
The aim of this project was to improve and refine nutrient management in the Australian sugar industry using historical databases of soil test data in order to minimise off-site impacts and increase nutrient use efficiency. ...
Final report - SRDC project BSS142 : Economic cost of soil compaction
(2000)
This project was developed as a result of a study tour undertaken by Dr Braunack (Braunack, 1994) where the concept of the degree of compactness was thought to be applicable to the Australian sugar industry.The overall aim ...
Final report SRDC project GGIP050 Improving soybean and nitrogen management in subtropical NSW cane systems
(2012)
This project aimed to document nitrogen inputs from soybean crops grown in NSW cane lands, promote soil-specific fertiliser recommendations following soybean to achieve more efficient use of nitrogen fertiliser and to ...
SRDC Research Project Harnessing soil biology to improve the productivity of the new sugarcane farming system
(2010)
This project addresses the knowledge gap of how management affects soil biological processes. This is important because management has to maximise soil health and nutrient relations. Knowledge of soil biology in context ...
