Final report SRDC project BSS197 : Products and mechanisms for the amelioration of sodic soils
(2005)This project set out to examine a number of issues associated with sodic soils. These included: 1) the impact of soil sodicity on crop production; 2) the reduction of adverse impacts of soil sodicity through irrigation ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Final report to the Sugar Research and Development Corporation CTA007 A modelling framework to integrate research on nitrogen management of sugarcane
(1996)This project used a measurement and modelling approach to explore the processes controlling nitrogen supply and losses in the crop and soil elements of sugarcane production systems. Measurements took place both in the field ... -
Herbert Water Quality Monitoring Project: final Report 2011/003
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)The Herbert River Catchment is situated in the Wet Tropics Region of Far North Queensland and covers approximately 10,000 square kilometers and unlike many other coastal streams in the wet tropics, the Herbert River has a ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Improved nitrogen use efficiency through accounting for deep soil and mineralisable N supply and deployment of EEF to better match crop N demand : final report RRDP1717
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020) -
Improvement of internal soil drainage and yield on heavy clay soils in the Herbert.
(2015)The Herbert consists of large areas of clay soils being approximately 60% of soils being sugarcane farmed within the region. These soils are usually nutritionally fertile; however yield potential is limited due to waterlogging. ... -
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 ... -
Improving the management of acid and sodic soils with green trash retention using calcium-based ameliorants/products : SRDC final project report BSS199
(2003)Although the advantages of leaving cane residues on the harvested land have been well documented, and nutrient cycling in relation to green-cane trash blanketing has been well examined within a Cooperative Research Centre ... -
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 ... -
Is magnesium deficiency a causal agent of sugarcane Yellow Canopy Syndrome? : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a disorder affecting sugarcane in the Australian industry, the cause of which is unknown. This paper reviews YCS research focusing on magnesium imbalance as a possible cause of the condition. ... -
Nitrate retention at depth under sugarcane in Far North Queensland Wet Tropics
(2002)Nitrogen mass-balance studies for sugarcane grown on Ferrosols (Krasnozem) in the Far North Queensland (FNQ) wet tropics have shown 30 to 50 kg N/ha/yr of the applied fertiliser+N leached below the root-zone (<0.75 m) as ... -
Nitrogen accumulation in biomass and its partitioning in sugar cane grown in the Burdekin : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)Nitrogen is a key component of metabolic processes in plants and due to its mobile nature in soils is often a limiting factor in achieving maximum yield in commercial sugarcane crops grown in Australia. Demand for N ... -
Nitrogen availability from legume and past fertiliser history : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)It is likely that land-based activities within the Australian sugar industry have a negative effect on the quality of water in the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. Improvements to nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) are likely to ...
