It is known as the stool of sugarcane. A crop of cane takes about 9-16 months to grow in Queensland.
The total land mass of Queensland covers 22.5% of the Australian continent, an area of 1,730,648 square kilometres, making it the second largest state in the Commonwealth of Australia. The total length of Queensland's mainland coastline is 6,973 km (4,333 mi) with another 6,374 km (3,961 mi) of island coastline. Queensland's capital city, Brisbane is located in the most populous region South East Queensland. Also located here is the Gold Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Redcliffe City and Toowoomba the largest inland city in Australia is located 120 km west of Brisbane on the Darling Downs as well as Warwick. Sugarcane, or sugar cane, is one of the several species of tall perennial true grasses of the genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae, native to the warm temperate to tropical regions of South Asia, Melanesia, and used for sugar production. Sugarcane is a tropical, perennial grass that forms lateral shoots at the base to produce multiple stems, typically three to four metres high and about five cm in diameter. The stems grow into cane stalk, which when mature constitutes approximately 75% of the entire plant Ismost common on sandy red earthsand clayey sands usually as a minorelement with mulga, woolybutt andhard or feathertop spinifex.VALUE: Readily grazed; in densestands it is most valued for providinga green shoot after winter rains, whenonly low quality herbage or moder-ately palatable top feed is available to stock. Hummocks may be up to 50cm highand 2 metres in diameter sometimes witha dead centre. Seedhead goes 30-50cmabove leaves. Grows on sandy red soilsand bases of sand dunes.VALUE: Little grazing value due to toughprickly leaves. It has stout jointed fibrous stalks that are rich in the sugar sucrose, which accumulates in the stalk internodes. The plant is two to six metres (6 to 19 feet) tall. All sugar cane species interbreed and the major commercial cultivars are complex hybrids. Sugarcane is a tropical, perennial grass that forms lateral shoots at the base to produce multiple stems, typically three to four metres high and about five cm in diameter. The stems grow into cane stalk, which when mature constitutes approximately 75% of the entire plant The geography of Queensland in the north-east of Australia, is varied. It includes tropical islands, sandy beaches, flat river plains that flood after monsoon rains, tracts of rough, elevated terrain, dry deserts, rich agricultural belts and densely populated urban areas. Queensland's capital city, Brisbane is located in the most populous region South East Queensland. Also located here is the Gold Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Redcliffe City and Toowoomba the largest inland city in Australia is located 120 km west of Brisbane on the Darling Downs as well as Warwick. Queensland. A state of northeast Australia on the Coral Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Originally part of the colony of New South Wales, it became a separate state in 1859. Brisbane is the capital and largest city. Queensland. n. 1. (Placename) a state of NE Australia: fringed on the Pacific side by the Great Barrier Reef; the Great Dividing Range lies in the east, separating the coastal lowlands from the dry Great Artesian Basin in the south. Capital: Brisbane. Pop: 3 840 111 (2003 est). After a few weeks new shoots grow from buds on the joints of the setts and break through the surface of the soil. Up to 12 stalks grow from each sett, forming what is known as the stool of sugarcane. A crop of cane takes about 9-16 months to grow in Queensland. In northern New South Wales (where it is cooler) it takes 18-24 months to grow. Typically, a cropping cycle comprises one plant crop and 3-4 ratoon (regrowth) crops. How sugarcane is grown-paddock to plate. In Australia, sugar is made from the juice of a giant tropical grass called sugarcane. Sugar is produced in over 100 countries around the world. Preventing and managing erosion. Programs to control erosion in Queensland began in the 1950s and have been very successful. The 3 main principles to control erosion are to: 1  use land according to its capability. 2  protect the soil surface with some form of cover. 3  control runoff before it develops into an erosive force.
