In this episode, SRA Translation Research Manager Dr Barry Salter discusses new long-term soil health trials that are examining practice changes to trash management, to increase soil carbon. The project is assessing farming systems and residue management practices through monitoring of soils over time, assessment of sugarcane productivity and economic analysis of practice changes, to understand potential longer-term outcomes across a wide range of environments. Soil health remains a significa...

Did you know it takes at least 12 years to breed, trial and release a new variety of sugarcane for Australian commercial farming use? In this episode – the second in our two-part series examining SRA’s Variety Breeding Program - we examine the different trial phases of the program, to produce new cane varieties with superior productivity and agronomic traits, such as high yield, sugar content (CCS) and good resistance to disease. All traits that are central to helping the Australian sugar ind...
