Optimisation of nutrient management of the Queensland sugar industry : SRDC final report BSS176
Abstract
This project, BSS176, set out to give the sugar industry an indication of how bringing nitrogen rates back to within BSES recommended levels would not only save production costs, but also improve ccs, thus improving profitability to the grower. A reduction in nitrogen rates back to within recommended rate range would not only improve profitability and promote best management practice but also provide other important benefits to the sugar industry in the form of positive promotion of agronomic practices to the wider community.
