Past Trials

To utilise radio base stations and radio, wireless technology to alert grower to finished sets, reducing run off and water wastage.

Establish the optimum time to reapply irrigation water following a Metribuzin application

This project aims to investigate the use of Proximal sensors to determine crop N uptake infield.

To assess the runoff characteristics of Isoxaflutole (DKN) and Imazapic under furrow irrigation conditions in the Burdekin.

Utilize compost as an alternative form of Nitrogen

Improve Soil health by growing multiple species in the cane interspace

To evaluate how much we can reduce fertilizer rates and evaluate if the addition of compost tea and biofert will maintain yield equivalent to traditional fertilizer rates.

We are testing if we can create a variable rate herbicide application map to reduce the amount of pre-emergent herbicide used on the farm, without compromising weed control.

Reduce N Rates by 25 to 50 percent by the addition of potassium humate.

Evaluating the application of anaerobically fermented fungal and bacterial strains and biological amendments to replace between 25% and 50% of Six Easy Steps (6ES) recommended N application without significant yield reduction.
