Final report on SRDC project CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S): The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity
(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 ...
Evaluation of nutrient enriched biodunder for sugarcane : a review
(1995)
The review looks at the advantages and disadvantages of fertilising with biodunder\urea compared with applying biodunder and urea separately. The review concludes with 6 recommendations for the use of biodunder\urea\sulfuric ...
Project 921 - rates of biodunder for sugarcane : final report
(1995)
The BSES recommendation for a maximum application rate is considered adequate to maximise returns and production for ratoon crops on the majority of Mackay soils. As the experiments were conducted only on ratoon crops, ...
Prediction and management of acidity production and export from acid sulphate soils used for sugar production final report SRDC Project DNR004
(2001)
The experimental design of this project successfully enabled runoff and groundwater drainage flow components to be distinguished in a cane-farming context at Pimpama, southeast Queensland. The majority of acidity exported ...
Delivering a novel DNA-based diagnostic for root health to the sugar industry: final report 2015/042
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Plant root systems play many key roles including nutrients and water uptake, interface with soil microorganisms and resistance to lodging. Unfortunately, as for any other crop, large and systematic studies of sugarcane ...
Evaluation of biostil dunder and mixtures with nitrogen fertilisers for sugarcane nutrition
(1990)
The aims of this project were: (a) to measure the cane and sugar yield responses from the application of biostil dunder on its own and in mixtures with nitrogen fertilisers in field trials; and (b) to assess the suitability ...
Phytotoxic substances associated with the decomposition of sugarcane trash residues. (Final report SRDC Project BS31S)
(1992)
Ratooning through trash blankets is generally effective with minor exceptions for certain varieties and in cold or waterlogged soils. Information was required to determine whether these effects are normal reactions of slow ...
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 ...
Review of sodic soils research in the Queensland sugar industry
(1995)
Increasing levels of sodium on the clay, in the absence of high levels of soluble salts, are not believed to be toxic to the cane plant. Any adverse effect on crop production is through deterioration of the soil structure ...
Final Report SRDC Project BS98S Factors Affecting the Residual Value of Lime
(1996)
Project was initiated to determine the relative significance of soil acidity and soil calcium status for predicting response of sugarcane to lime in southern Queensland, where recommendations developed for tropical soils ...
