Final report SRDC Project CLW009 Improving yield and ccs in sugarcane through the application of silicon based amendments
(2003)
Under high leaching environments common to the wet tropics, soils undergo significant weathering, which, when combined with accelerated chemical and physical degradation due to soil perturbation and crop removal, results ...
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 ...
Environmentally sound phosphorus management for sugarcane soils : final report on SRDC Project no CSS3S
(1998)
A field and laboratory-based survey of the behaviour of phosphorus (P) was carried out on the soils of the lower Herbert River catchment, and sediments derived from them. The aim was to explore the factors governing P ...
Risk assessment of phosphorus (P) loss and guidelines for P use in lower Herbert soils Final report on SRDC Project No CLW010
(2000)
In project CSS3S (Bramley et aI., 1998), a field and laboratory-based survey of the behaviour of phosphorus (P) was carried out on the soils of the lower Herbert River catchment, and sediments derived from them. The aim ...
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 ...
GIVE 2009 project report
(2009)
The Grower Innovation Virtual Expo (GIVE 09) was hosted by the Herbert Young Farmers and Herbert and Tully grower groups. The event was also supported by Herbert Cane Productivity Services Limited (HCPSL), Tully Cane ...
SRDC Final Report - Project BS142S: Economic cost of soil compaction
(1999)
Objectives of this project were: Adapt a Scandinavian model to determine the effect of soil compaction on crop yield for the Australian sugar industry; Relate crop response to degree of compactness by examining current and ...
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 ...
SRDC Research Project final report Irrigation runoff event monitoring
(2006)
A major concern of the Burdekin irrigated sugarcane growing industry is the impact of nutrient runoff on the waterways and the surrounding environment. In line with the current Commonwealth and State Government’s Reef Water ...
