Project Title: Heavy metal cycling and availability in Australian cane soils

Postgraduate Degree:  PhD

Country of Origin: Australia

Supervisors: Assoc. Prof. Neal Menzies, George Rayment (NR&M), Glenn Barry (NR&M)

Project Outline: Studies of soils in the sugar-growing regions of Queensland and New South Wales have identified a number of heavy metals that warrant investigation in terms of their cycling/ loss/redistribution pathways and phyto-availability to ensure changes in management practices do not adversely impact in the long term. The practices most likely to have significant impact are trash retention and the application of sugar mill byproducts, particularly filter mud.
