Final Report SRDC Project BS98S Factors Affecting the Residual Value of Lime

Abstract

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 had not been tested previously. Understand the influence of soil properties on the residual value of lime. Study the negative interaction between cane yield response to lime and ccs. Develop and extend improved management guidelines for the necessity and frequency of lime applications.
