Final report on SRDC project CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S): The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity
Magarey, RC; Nable, R; Reghenzani, J; Smith, J; Berthelsen, S; Grace, D; Robertson, M (1999)When the current project was initiated, poor root growth and activity were widely believed to be a major constraint to sugarcane productivity. However, there was no technology available to assess whether or not root growth ... -
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
Croft, BJ; Magarey, RC; Hurney, AP; Reghenzani, JR (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. ... -
Soil constraints to productivity improvement
Croft, BJ; Magarey, RC; Hurney, AP; Reghenzani, JR (1991)Evidence from investigations into fumigation, fungicide application, fallowing and growth of sugarcane on recently cultivated soils strongly suggests that yields in established cane growing areas are being restricted by ... -
Strategic tillage to reduce soil structural degradation : SRDC final project report BSS143
Braunack, M; McGarry, D; Magarey, RC; Garside, AL (2004)The project was undertaken to assess the benefits of zonal tillage, where only the crop row is cultivated and the compacted inter-row is left as a permanent traffic zone.Focus groups of growers were convened to discuss ...
