Role of controlled release fertilizer in Australian sugarcane systems: final report 2014/011
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Controlled release fertilisers (CRFs) are promoted as a means to optimise the productivity achieved per unit of fertiliser nitrogen (N) input and lower environmental impacts from N leaching, runoff and emission losses. ...
Boosting NUE in sugarcane through temporal and spatial management options : Final report 2014/045
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
This collaborative project involved the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) and the Sugar Research Australia (SRA) Technology Unit. It aimed to evaluate methods of matching nitrogen (N) supply (from soils and fertilisers) ...
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 ...
Efficacy and environmental runoff impact of alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied on trash blanketed ratoons
(ASSCT, 2018)
THE EFFICACY OF alternative pre-emergent herbicides to diuron applied just after harvest on green trash blanketed ratoons was investigated in three field trials in the wet tropics, Far North Queensland. The study also ...
Aspects of temporal N management in sugarcane in sub-tropical Queensland : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
The proximity of the Australian sugar industry to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has resulted in ongoing concerns about elevated concentrations of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the near-reef environments due to ...
Spatial distribution of potential soil constraints affecting nitrogen management in the Wet Tropics : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Position in the landscape and climatic conditions experienced during the growing season, especially following the application of nitrogen (N) fertiliser, has important implications for crop growth, N uptake and N losses. ...
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. ...
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 ...
Effect of long-term application of potassium on sugarcane and soil properties in the Herbert River district : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Excess potassium (K) fertiliser use can have a significant effect on sugar quality and refining
costs but offers no benefit to sugarcane crop yield. Potassium fertiliser guidelines are based on
soil texture and two ...
