Past Trials

Minimise use of residual herbicide whilst maintaining adequate weed control.

To determine the rate of nitrogen reduction possible on a plant cane crop following a soybean fallow affected by severe flooding.

To evaluate the reduction of nutrients on late-harvested crops which have a lower yield potential

To evaluate the application of reduced nutrients on old ratoons, with a low yield potential, that will be ploughed out.

The aim of telemetry is to use sensors to detect changes in soil moisture and in turn automatically inform the grower when adequate soil moisture is achieved or when irrigation must be applied.

To compare irrigation methods and their impact on plant nutrient uptake and water quality.

To determine the rate of nitrogen reduction possible on a plant cane crop following a soybean fallow affected by severe flooding.

To determine the rate of nitrogen reduction possible on a plant cane crop following a soybean fallow affected by severe flooding.

To evaluate the application of reduced nutrients on old ratoons, with a low yield potential, that will be ploughed out.

To investigate the effect of variable rate nutrient applications based upon zone crop yield potential.

To investigate the effect of harvester speed on subsequent cane yields and nitrogen use efficiency.

To reduce the amount of Nitrogen and Phosphorus applied to varieties that have high nitrogen use efficiency without suffering a yield or sugar reduction.
