Review of sodic soils research in the Queensland sugar industry
(1995)
Increasing levels of sodium on the clay, in the absence of high levels of soluble salts, are not believed to be toxic to the cane plant. Any adverse effect on crop production is through deterioration of the soil structure ...
Final Report SRDC Project BS98S Factors Affecting the Residual Value of Lime
(1996)
Project was initiated to determine the relative significance of soil acidity and soil calcium status for predicting response of sugarcane to lime in southern Queensland, where recommendations developed for tropical soils ...
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
(1990)
Yields of most crops are known to decrease if that crop is grown continuously without fallowing or rotation with other crop species. Sugarcane has been grown continuously on many fields in Queensland for 50-100 years. ...
Consequences of future management options for the Bremerhaven drainage system.(A report to the Woongoolba Flood Mitigation Advisory Committee).
(1991)
The following questions were referred to BSES by the Woongoolba Flood Mitigation Advisory Committee: (1) The possible short and long-term effect on all classes of land of lowering the watertable in the Bremerhaven System. ...
Soil compaction studies - Mossman
(1975)
Study was initiated to investigate the effects of the different bin transport systems on soil compaction. Compaction under dry soil conditions does not appear to be a serious problem and can ve overcome by cultivation. ...
Identification of acid sulfate soils using a field peroxide pH test
(1999)
This science project was conducted as part of Year 12 Chemistry to provide an assessment of the presence of acid sulfate soils on an Ingham property. The results will determine the extent of acid sulfate soil existence ...
Technical Report - Evaluation of a Roving Capacitance Probe for Measuring Soil Moisture
(1998)
In the Proserpine area of central Queensland, Australia, trials were conducted to evaluate the performance of a proving capacitance probe for determining soil moisture. Soil moisture was monitored using both a neutron ...
Acid sulfate soils in canegrowing regions of northern New South Wales
(1995)
Acid sulfate subsoils contain iron pyrites (FeS2). Pyrites is stable under anaerobic (saturated) conditions, but when oxidised forms sufuric acid and releases mobile Fe2+ ion. Soil pH can be reduced to as low as 2 and ...
Evaluation of the effects of rare earth elements on sugarcane in North Queensland
(1989)
During 1988 BSES submitted a proposal to the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering for partial funding of a research project to investigate the response of sugarcane in North Queensland to rare earth ...
Final Report SRDC Project BS146S Farming Sodic Soils - A Situation Statement and Future Direction
(1997)
Aims of project were to document research on, and farming systems for, cropping sodic soils to sugarcane, and through an expert review of research and current practices for farming sodic soils identify directions for future ...
