ASH REMOVAL CONTRACT: 2022 – 2024 CRUSHING SEASONS
We are seeking expressions of interest for ash removal contracts for the 2022 and two subsequent crushing seasons.

Weed Control
Pre-emergent herbicides are applied once planting is completed, before the crop starts to grow. These herbicides don’t stop weeds germinating, but once the weeds have germinated and broken through the soil surface they die off.

Planting Time
Sugarcane is planted as billets or “setts”, small pieces of cane usually about 150-200mm long that have one or two “eyes”.

Tully variety Management group (TVMG) meeting
