Welcome to the second edition of CaneConnection

Abstract

With the crush now completed we focus on the new crop and laying the foundations to maximising productivity and profitability in the coming season. For every cropping cycle, obtaining the maximum yield potential starts with the fallow. In this edition of CaneConnection we discuss some of the key considerations during this important phase. We also review what the latest research says about how much nitrogen should be applied after the fallow. Likewise in the ratoon crops, good weed and nutrient management underpins future success and as such we have some helpful stories focusing on these areas.
