2016-2018 An industry-led , Government supported best practice system for cane growing across Queensland , provides for accreditation of growers at or above industry standard in a set of modules . The Smartcane BMP program currently has 24 accredited growers in the Burdekin Region
2018-2021 and is aiming to accredit another 40 growers in the next 24 months — which is around 10 per cent of growers .
2014-2018 Continues the work initiated in RP20C and includes the harvesting of the remaining 11 trial sites in 2014 . Following the harvest of the 11 sites in 2014 one 1st ratoon site , three 2nd ratoon sites and five 3rd ratoon sites will be fertilised , monitored and sampled as part of the new project ( RP20 / 14C ). Four new trial sites were established across the Lower Burdekin in March / April 2014 under perceived ideal conditions for establishing plant crops . Includes specialised soil and plant analyses to support the agronomic measurements ( DES ) and economic assessment of the profitability of various nitrogen application rate strategies ( DAF ).
2015-2018 Offers financial incentives to sugarcane farmers to reduce the amount of nitrogen applied to their farms and improve their water management practices through a two stage Competitive Tender process .
