fertility management

Early season disease management is becoming increasingly important as Texas rice farmers trend toward planting earlier at lower seeding rates (about 50 percent of Texas rice acreage is planted to hybrids). Clearly, the earlier plantings have a better chance...

We have been fortunate to see new products on the market for rice over the past few years. These products have put more tools in the toolbox for us to use to manage our rice crop. In 2018, we saw...

University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture rice research may lead to more sustainable crop production in the state and around the world. The quest for increased sustainability in agriculture and other industries includes examining greenhouse gases and how they’re...

Each of the past several years have proven rainy and problematic about the time many of our rice acres are ready to receive nitrogen fertilizer and go to flood. Our goal is always to apply preflood nitrogen in the...

This year's Arkansas Rice Expo, Aug. 4, in Stuttgart, has something for just about everyone. New tools for soil fertility, new weed control technologies and live cooking demonstrations are just a few of the topics on the agenda. Doors at the...

Most rice cultivated in the Mid-South is produced using the direct-seeded, delayed-flood production method. In this system, a continuous flood is maintained from five-leaf growth stage until a few weeks prior to harvest. Currently, there is emphasis being placed on alternative...
