Sugar Research and Development Corporation final report Project CTA013 Spatial analysis of the impact of land use on nutrient loads within the Herbert River Catchment
(1998)
This Project arose out of concerns for the apparent increase in nutrient and sediment contaminant loads in Queensland coastal waters since European settlement (e.g. DEAP Report, 1992). At the time of Project inception, the ...
Progress report on BSES and WRC studies of water quality in Woongarra-Pemberton area - July 1981
(1981)
This report summarizes results of a pot trial comparing bore and surface water; co-operative monitoring of water-table levels with the Water Resources Commission; field trials with various ameliorants; and a field survey ...
SRDC Research Project final report Development of a constructed wetland for improving water quality in sugarcane drainage, and ensuring its community acceptance and industry adoption
(2007)
Canefield drainage water quality is an increasingly important issue for the industry and community because of the potential downstream environmental impacts of contained contaminants. The community is increasingly ...
Effective use of lower mill mud rates in the nutrition program
(2014)
In 2011 Mackay Sugar changed its mud truck fleet to enable low rates of banded mill mud and mud/ash application on farm. The aim of this was to: make mill by-products available to more growers, lessen the impact of Reef ...
A stocktake of the levels and sources of nitrate in groundwaters associated with sugarcane areas
(2000)
Water containing high concentrations of nitrate is unfit for human consumption and, if discharging to freshwater or marine habitats, can contribute to algal blooms and eutrophication. Previous studies have found elevated ...
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 ...
SRDC Research Project final report Irrigation runoff event monitoring
(2006)
A major concern of the Burdekin irrigated sugarcane growing industry is the impact of nutrient runoff on the waterways and the surrounding environment. In line with the current Commonwealth and State Government’s Reef Water ...
Development of criteria for draining shallow watertables in the Isis irrigation areaFinal report SRDC Project BS12S
(1993)
This project was proposed to the Sugar Research Council because qualitative data suggested a significant problem with waterlogging and salinity in hydromorphic sedimentary soils in the Bundaberg to Maryborough region. ...
Adopting systems approaches to water and nutrient management for future cane production in the Burdekin SRDC Research Project CSE020 final report
(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 ...
The physiological and growth response of sugarcane to the sodium absorption ratio in flowing solution sand culture
(1994)
The growth of sugarcane variety Q117 in sand culture using nutrient solutions with sodium absorption ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30, each with a constant electrical conductivity of 1.5 dS/m was determined under glasshouse ...
