Adopting systems approaches to water and nutrient management for future cane production in the Burdekin SRDC Research Project CSE020 final report
CSIRO; Sugar Research and Development Corporation; BSES; Thorburn, P (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 ... -
Decision support for choice of enhanced efficiency fertilisers - Herbert catchment pilot study : Final report 2017/015
Verburg, K (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEF) are of interest to the sugarcane industry because they have the potential to increase N use efficiency and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. However, agronomic and environmental benefits are ... -
How much nitrogen will that crop need? Incorporating climate forecasting to improve nitrogen management in the Wet Tropics : Final project 2015/075
Everingham, Y; Biggs, J; Schroeder, B; Skocaj, D; Thorburn, P; Sexton, J (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 ... -
Improved environmental outcomes and profitability through innovative management of nitrogen SRDC research project CSE011 final report
Thorburn, P; Webster, T; Biggs, J; Biggs. I; Park, S (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, ... -
Improving the efficiency of nitrogen fertilisation of sugarcane under minimum till and trash conservation cultural conditions (Final report SRDC Project BS37S)
Chapman, LS; Freney, R; Denmead, OT; Wood, AW; Saffigna, PG (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 ...
