SRDC Grower Group innovation project final report Profits through Recycling: Pilot processing of sugar industry and community by-products to improve on-farm sustainability
(2010)
GGP034 set out to establish if cane farmers could produce on farm a percentage of their farm’s nutrient requirement from sugar industry and community wastes at a competitive cost and thus reduce off farm inputs. It was ...
SRDC Research Project final report Improved methods of compost generation
(2012)
This report explores different techniques and management principles and the results of compost production specifically for sugar-cane in tropical agriculture. Our earlier research using the Lubke Methodology developed in ...
Strategic tillage to reduce soil structural degradation and improve productivity : SRDC final project report BSS143
(2002)
Focus groups of growers were convened to discuss industry attitude and reasons for non-adoption of reduced tillage planting. It was largely agreed that compared with ten to fifteen years ago the industry had moved to ...
Strategic tillage to reduce soil structural degradation : SRDC final project report BSS143
(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 ...
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. ...
Researching soil health and economics of two farming systems in the Herbert River district : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project final report
(2009)
The New Farming Initiative Group (NFIG) consists of six members and has approximately 600ha of sugarcane farming land in the Herbert region. Comparison of soil health of the two farming systems is the primary objective. ...
Development of commercial molecular biological assays for improved sugarcane soil health and productivity : final report 2018/009
Project research has shown that the DNA-based molecular assays for Pachymetra chaunorhiza, Pratylenchus zeae and Meloidogyne species quantify soil populations in field samples, confirming research undertaken in project ...
