Research project

More Profit from Nitrogen - Smart blended use of enhanced efficiency fertilisers to maximise sugarcane profitability

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

This project looks at increasing nitrogen (N) use efficiency in sugar. On sugarcane farms, losses of applied N through emissions, leaching and runoff are heavy after high rainfall or irrigation. Enhanced efficiency fertilisers (EEF), eg controlled-release urea and nitrification inhibitor-coated urea, can improve crop recovery of applied N, reduce N...

More Profit from Nitrogen - Nitrogen use efficiency indicators for the Australian cotton, sugar, dairy & horticulture industries

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

This project looked at nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) indicators across the four industries of cotton, dairy, horticulture and sugarcane. Nitrogen is essential for plant growth and is vital in producing high yielding, quality crops, produce and pasture. Calculating the optimum amount to apply is difficult for producers as the N...
