The effect of zinc deficiency as a factor limiting sugarcane growth (SRC Project BS14S - Final Report)
(1990)
Results from this project confirm that substantial yield responses to zinc application can be expected in deficient soils in North Queensland. Deficiency is commonly associated with lime application. Three soil and two ...
Extent of zinc deficiency in cane growing soils of North Queensland.SRDC Project BS67S - Final report.
(1993)
Collation and interpretation of soil analysis data has shown a strong relationship between soil type and extractable zinc. Extractable zinc in soils followed the order: metamorphic, beach ridge and granite soils < organic ...
Strategies to manage soil-borne fungi and mitigate sugarcane yield decline : Final report 2013/101
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
Culture–dependent and culture-independent analyses of sugarcane rhizosphere fungal and oomycete communities were conducted across two cropping seasons at two sites. Agronomic treatments included replant continuous cane, ...
Assessing the impact of biochar in the Herbert cane industry.
(2015)
Biochar is the charred by-product of biomass pyrolysis, the heating of plant-derived material in the absence of oxygen in order to capture combustible gases. It is generally accepted that biochar is a highly stable form ...
Herbert Water Quality Monitoring Project: final Report 2011/003
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
The Herbert River Catchment is situated in the Wet Tropics Region of Far North Queensland and covers approximately 10,000 square kilometers and unlike many other coastal streams in the wet tropics, the Herbert River has a ...
Decision support for choice of enhanced efficiency fertilisers - Herbert catchment pilot study : Final report 2017/015
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEF) are of interest to the sugarcane industry because they have the potential to increase N use efficiency and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. However, agronomic and environmental benefits are ...
Nitrate retention at depth under sugarcane in Far North Queensland Wet Tropics
(2002)
Nitrogen mass-balance studies for sugarcane grown on Ferrosols (Krasnozem) in the Far North Queensland (FNQ) wet tropics have shown 30 to 50 kg N/ha/yr of the applied fertiliser+N leached below the root-zone (<0.75 m) as ...
Sugar Research and Development Corporation final report Increasing sugar cane yields by improvements in soil structure
(1998)
A project to increase sugar cane yields by improvements in soil structure was conducted at Broadwater, NSW. It was instigated in response to the poor physical structure of many cane soils and poor root development in many ...
Final report SRDC project BSS197 : Products and mechanisms for the amelioration of sodic soils
(2005)
This project set out to examine a number of issues associated with sodic soils. These included: 1) the impact of soil sodicity on crop production; 2) the reduction of adverse impacts of soil sodicity through irrigation ...
A review of nitrogen use efficiency in sugarcane
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is the world’s largest coral reef ecosystem, providing both substantial economic benefit to Australia and significant international ecological value. The health of the GBR is under pressure ...
