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 CG013 Growers working together to improve water quality in the Herbert Sugar Industry
(2008)
The sugarcane area of the Herbert River district is located adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The quality of water entering the GBR lagoon from the Herbert district is one of the most important environmental issues ...
SRDC Reseach Project final report Building grower capacity to understand and better manage groundwater
(2009)
The Upper Haughton Water Balance Study - Building grower capacity to understand and better manage groundwater commenced in July 2006 after growers expressed concerns at the rising groundwater table in the Burdekin River ...
Strategic tillage to reduce soil structural degradation : SRDC final project report BSS143
(2004)
The project was undertaken to assess the benefits of zonal tillage, where only the crop row is cultivated and the compacted inter-row is left as a permanent traffic zone.Focus groups of growers were convened to discuss ...
Final report - SRDC project BSS106 : Assessing linkages between machine traffic, soil conditions and productivity
(2001)
The objectives of this project was to; 1: determine the effect of matching crop row spacing to harvester wheel track widths on longevity and yeild of ratoon crops planted in dual rows; 2: investigate the mechanism causing ...
Review of nitrogen fertiliser research in the Australian sugar industry
(2004)
The management of nitrogen (N) fertiliser is important to the Australian sugar industry, as it is an important nutrient for sugarcane production. However, over application results in reduced profitability and sugar quality, ...
Final report - SRDC project BS145S : Improving sett/soil contact to enhance sugarcane establishment
(2000)
This project had three objectives that were achieved in the following order: quantify the crop establishment practices of canegrowers within the major regions of Queensland and New South Wales; quantify the improvement in ...
Improved environmental outcomes and profitability through innovative management of nitrogen SRDC research project CSE011 final report
(2008)
Nitrogen (N) fertiliser additions are an important contributor to productivity and profitability in intensive farming systems, including sugarcane production. However, applying N increases losses of N to the environment, ...
Adopting systems approaches to water and nutrient management for future cane production in the Burdekin SRDC Research Project CSE020 final report
(2008)
There is concern about environmental impacts of cropping in catchments of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, especially losses of nitrogen (N) and herbicides from cropping systems. Sugarcane production in the Burdekin region ...
