Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
(1999)Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ... -
More crop per drop: development of water-efficient and drought tolerant sugarcane cultivars for irrigated and dryland farming
(2014)Water limitation is a major production constraint for sugarcane in Australia. Despite its economic importance, there has been little effort in breeding for water stress (drought) tolerance and water use efficiency (WUE) ... -
SRDC Research Project final report Increased CCS, cane yield and water use efficiency by exploiting interactions between genetics and management
(2009)In October 2003 delegates at an international workshop on sugarcane physiology funded by SRDC concluded that priority should be directed at a better understanding of traits responsible for high yield and high sucrose ...
