Abstract

Two similar experiments were conducted at Bundaberg and Beerwah in south-eastern Queensland to ascertain the relationship between fertilizer rates and the use of dimethyldodecylamine acetate ("Penar") for sucker control. There were substantial advantages for Penar in terms of sucker control and saleable yield. Fertilizer was found to have no adverse effects on sucker numbers and also produced a saleable yield increase. Two applications of Penar were found to be necessary unless regular hand-suckering was used in conjunction with a single application. Data on comparative treatment costs are included.
