Abstract | The project originally had a third objective, namely to “Develop promising leads in
rapid and cost effective analyses of N compounds in the mill juice stream to a
“proof-of-concept” stage.” Instrumentation issues and industry developments with
respect to installation on on-line NIR infrastructure meant that this third objective
was transferred to the project CTA045, which is on going.
Objective 1 was addressed via laboratory analyses of cane sourced from a wide
range of experimental studies in different seasons at a range of sites, involving
variation in N fertiliser inputs, sugarcane varieties, irrigation inputs, and other
agronomic variables.
Objective 2 was addressed via a series of grower-managed on-farm trials in which N
fertiliser inputs were varied above and below the grower’s “normal” management
and the results were interpreted in relation to additional information obtained from
soil analyses and amino-N analyses of the cane at harvest time. |
