NORTHERN FOCUSCOVERING NORTHERN NSW AND QUEENSLANDTHE RESEARCH VIEWPlant tissue testing – an underutilised tool for diagnosing crops■■By■David■Lester■and■Mike■Bell,■Agri-Science■Queensland,■DEEDIrain cropping is essentially about convertingrainfall into a harvestable commodity as often andGas efficiently as possible. To achieve this, constraintsto water use by plants need to be reduced where possible.adequate plant nutrition is one such constraint that canhave a significant influence on the overall productivity ofthe system, and potentially whole farm profitability.Hidden hunger in plants can restrict plant growthwithout visual symptoms of nutrient deficiency. Plant tissueanalysis can identify this lost production potential as aresult of inadequate plant nutrient uptake.Visual differences in crop growth of less than 20 percent are difficult for the human eye to detect, so applyingremote or proximal sensor measurements may allow animproved plant growth assessment.Why are there areas of my paddocks different inproductivity? is it due to variety, nutrition, water, weeds,disease, insects, herbicides, nematodes or another factor?Plant tissue FOCusanalysis could be part of the ‘ground truthing’ Covering Cropping Barley was systems among of the southern grain samples nsW, collected viCtoria, from tasmania,when answering these questions.south australia commercial & Western crops australia across the northern region and analysedif plant growth (usually grain yield or whole plantfor their nutrient concentrations.biomass) is plotted against the concentration of the limitingTHE RESEARCH VIEWnutrient, the relationship generally looks like that shown in native vegetation into grain and/or pasture production.Figure 1.nutrient removal in grain, hay and livestock accounts forTraditionally, the 90 per cent of maximum yield value most of the fertility loss.Making the most from(dashed horizontal line) has been regarded as the ‘critical’ negative farmlentilsgate nitrogen (n), phosphorus (P) andvalue for deficiency or toxicity level for the tissue nutrient potassium (K) balances exist across the northern grains■concentration.■By■Larn■McMurray,■Pulse■Breeding■Australia,■South■Australian■Research■and■Development■Instituteregion with the largest nutrient exports occurred in higherHidden hunger is a zone that extends from around yielding dryland areas such as the north-west slopes andthe 90 per cent concentration value to around 65–75 per plains of new South Wales and south-east Queensland.cent of owing the maximum earlier than yield.

Climate/weather patterns andsoil type effectively split Australia into twomajor grain cropping regions — northern andsouthern — and two crop growing periods —winter and summer.Over the past decade, new and modifiedfarming systems, crops and techniques haveincreased the reliability of grain production inAustralia’s challenging environment.Since 1996 — notwithstanding the devastatingdroughts of 2002 and 2006 — the nation hasharvested an annual average grain crop inexcess of 35 million tonnes. This has beenworth around $10 billion each year to ourgrain growers.Northern cropping regionThe northern region takes in central andsouthern Qld through to northern NSW downas far as about Dubbo.Most rainfall in this northern region tends to beover the summer months, allowing for drylandsummer crop production.But with the high moisture-storing capacityof the clay-based soils of this region,supplemented by some winter rainfall, crops— 6 —that grow over the winter are also successfullyproduced.Winter crops in the northern region areplanted across a wide time period starting inMarch in the Qld Central zone, through toJuly in the NSW Central zone. Consequently,harvest of the northern region’s wintercrops can stretch from September through toDecember.Similarly, the north’s summer crops are plantedfrom September through to February withharvest spanning the February through to Mayperiod.What this means for companies providinggoods and services to northern regiongraingrowers is that demand for inputseffectively spans the full calendar year.Grain crops grown in the northern regionWinter crops — Wheat, barley, oats, chickpeas,triticale, faba beans, lupins, field peas, canola,millet/panicum, safflower, linseed.Summer crops — Sorghum, sunflowers, maize,mungbeans, soybeans, cotton, peanuts.Southern cropping regionThe southern region stretches from centralNSW (south of Dubbo) through to Victoria,Tasmania and South Australia and the

The Australian cotton industry stretches from Emerald incentral Queensland through southern Queensland andnorthern NSW to the Murrumbidgee valley in southernNSW. In a year with plentiful water, around 550,000hectares of cotton are planted with potential productionof over four million bales and a value of more than $2billion.Well over 90% of the Australian cotton crop is exported— mainly to Asian destinations such as Indonesia, SouthKorea, Taiwan, China and Thailand. Australia producessome of the best cotton in the world and it is highlyvalued by cotton spinners in export markets for its colour,strength, fibre length and lack of contamination. Endusers know that Australian cotton is produced under aBest Management Practice (BMP) regime from the fieldthrough to the cotton gin and the finished fabric. BMP isan assurance that world best practice is used in growingthe crop — especially regarding environmental practicesand water use efficiency.Most of the Australian crop is grown under irrigation,although large areas of the Darling Downs and northernNSW are used for dryland cotton. It is a summer crop— that is, it is planted in spring (mid-September throughto the end of November) and harvested in the autumn(early March through to late May). Contrary to popularopinion, a cotton crop is not a particularly heavy user ofwater — most other irrigated crops use substantially morewater than cotton per hectare. Cotton’s background isas a desert plant and it is well adapted to the Australianenvironment.The cotton industry at a glanceCotton by the calendar— 9 —Calendar of a typical cotton cropOctoberPlanting when soil temperatures exceed 15°C. Seeds are planted into beds which have beenprepared over winter. As with most farming operations, planting is done using GPS guidancefor great accuracy. Irrigation is applied either before or after planting, depending on the season.Residual herbicides are applied at planting.NovemberEarly weed and insect control. Replanting and late planting. Crops start to set squares (buds).DecemberWeed and insect control. This is the time when the season starts to get serious and decisionsneed to be made about the crucial first crop irrigation. The cotton squares begin to turn to flowers.Decisions also need to be made about late fertiliser applications including foliar fertilisers.JanuaryThis is the critical time of the season. It is the time of peak flowering and the cotton bolls start todevelop. If the management is good and the weather favourable for the next few weeks, a greatcrop can be produced. Irrigation timing, foliar fertilisers and growth regulator application are vital.FebruaryMost of the crop has been set and it is important not to lose it at this stage. Timing of the finalirrigation is crucial to allow the crop to fully mature.MarchWhen about 60% of the cotton bolls are open (white, fluffy cotton), defoliants are applied to getrid of the leaves and reduce any contamination at harvest. Early picking starts in some areas.AprilPicking is usually in full swing and so are the cotton gins — separating the cotton fibre from theseeds embedded within it. This is a period when the whole industry prays for fine weather becausetoo much rain can significantly reduce the quality of the cotton lint.May to AugustAfter picking, the cotton stalks are slashed. Minimal cultivation is used to prevent survival ofheliothis pupae and attention turns to preparing the ground for the next crop or planting a winterrotation crop.

The sugar industry at a glanceSweet smell of success in sugarSugarcane is grown mainly along the coastal strip from Mossmanand the Atherton Tablelands in North Queensland to Grafton innorthern NSW.There are over 4000 cane farmers in Australia. The majority ofAustralia’s cane farms are owned and operated by families. Mostfarms range in size from 30 to 350 hectares, but with a growingtrend towards much larger farms.Over the past decade the total harvested area of sugarcane inAustralia has averaged around 350,000 hectares each year.The sugar industry is a major focus of the economies in manyregional towns. Queensland’s raw sugar industry directly employsmore than 15,000 people in the growing, milling, storage,marketing and refining of raw sugar. Indirectly, a further 20,000jobs are generated.PlantingSugarcane is grown from setts (cuttings from mature cane stalks)planted in rows.Each sett grows a stool (or cluster) of about 8 to 12 cane stalks.As the young cane grows, the crop is cultivated or sprayed witha herbicide to control weeds. Fertilisers are applied to the crop topromote growth.HarvestingSugarcane grows for 10 to 18 months before being harvested.Mature sugarcane is usually harvested between June andDecember when the sugar content is at its highest.All sugarcane grown in Australia is harvested mechanically by selfpropelledharvesting machines.There are two methods most commonly used for harvestingsugarcane — green cane or burnt cane harvesting.— 11 —Ratoon caneWhether the cane is harvested burnt or green, the stubble of theplants is left behind in the soil where it grows new shoots. Thisre-growth is called a ’ratoon’ crop. One sugarcane plant usuallygrows three or four ratoon crops.After a final ratoon crop has been harvested, the remaining rootsare ploughed out and the ground is usually fallowed for a year.Legumes are often grown on the fallow ground to rejuvenate thesoil. After the land has been rested it is ploughed and replantedwith sugarcane.Farm yieldsAdvanced farming practices and new varieties of cane haveenabled the Australian sugar industry to more than double itsproductivity in the past 60 years. Today, a hectare of land typicallyyields 80–100 tonnes of cane from which some 10–15 tonnes ofraw sugar are produced.MarketingThe Australian domestic market for raw sugar is over one milliontonnes. Averaging about 3.5 million tonnes annually, Australia isone of the world’s largest exporters of raw sugar. Major exportcustomers include Canada, Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Malaysia.By-productsAs an efficient net producer of energy, the Australian raw sugarindustry efficiently recycles by-products such as crop residues andproduces useful products such as ethanol, molasses and electricity.Trash bales are also used to feed stock during times of drought.Drawn from material prepared by Queensland Sugar Corporation and AustralianCane Farmers Association.
