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...
Grain legume rotations underpin the sustainability of the Australian sugarcane farming system, offering a number of soil health and environmental benefits. Recent studies have highlighted the potential for these breaks to exacerbate nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. An...
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...
Emissions of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) from sugarcane crops at Murwillumbah (NSW) and Mackay (Qld) have been measured continuously over whole growing seasons (342 days and 292 days respectively) using chambers and...
