A replicated experiment was conducted in sugarcane at Maroochy River (SE Queensland) over three years to assess the potential for partially replacing use of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertiliser with compost and a biological N fixing product. Agronomic indices and nitrous...
The Australian sugar industry is under increasing environmental pressure to improve nitrogen (N) use efficiency. This will require a greater understanding of processes affecting N availability and crop N demand in sugarcane farming systems. A field experiment was...
LEGUME BREAK CROPPING is an important part of the improved sugarcane cropping system, with the potential to supply fixed nitrogen (N) to the succeeding cane crop. However, the effectiveness of a legume crop in achieving this outcome is directly related to the rate of...
