Organisation URL: https://www.publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/sugarcane-economics AbstractThis RP62c project evaluates a multitude of management practice options in order to identify profitable abatement opportunities for PSII herbicides (herbicides designed to inhibit photosynthesis at photosystem II in plants) and their alternatives from three major sugarcane production districts located in the GBR catchment. At present, there are few economics studies that investigate enterprise heterogeneity in conjunction with water quality information with a view to enhance adoption of new practices in GBR catchments. Growers will be unlikely to readily adopt unproven practices if the changes are perceived as a high risk to farm profitability.
