Rice is frequently damaged by these diseases, resulting in significant reductions in yield, grain quality, and income to growers. This bulletin explains how management of these minor diseases can contribute to the total yield and quality increase produced by fungicidal sprays. Jodon: A High Yielding, Very Early Long-Grain Rice Variety (September 1995) [Image: Jodon: A High Yielding, Very Early Long-Grain Rice Variety (September 1995)] ‘Jodon’ is a high yielding, very early maturing, semidwarf long-grain rice variety with excellent ratooning (second cropping) characteristics. This bulletin includes information on the history, characteristics and cultural management of Jodon. Rice Diseases and Disorders in Louisiana (July 1991) [Image: Rice Diseases and Disorders in Louisiana (July 1991)] Disease damage to rice can greatly impair productivity and sometimes destroy a crop. This bulletin includes information on disease identification, rice diseases in Louisiana and physiological disorders common to Louisiana rice. Bengal: A Medium-Grain Rice Variety (April 1993) [Image: Bengal: A Medium-Grain Rice Variety (April 1993)] ‘Bengal’ is an early maturing, semidwarf, medium-grain rice variety developed at the Rice Research Station, Crowley, Louisiana. This bulletin includes information on the history, characteristics, yield potential, cultural management and pest reaction.  more articles... Cypress: A High Yielding, High Quality Long-Grain Rice Variety (April 1993) [Image: Cypress: A High Yielding, High Quality Long-Grain Rice Variety (April 1993)] ‘Cypress’ is a high yielding, early maturing, semidwarf long-grain rice variety with excellent grain quality. This bulletin includes information on the history, characteristics, cultural management and pest reaction of cypress. Gibberellic Acid Seed Treatment in Rice (July 1993) [Image: Gibberellic Acid Seed Treatment in Rice (July 1993)] Gibberellic acid (GA3) was the first naturally occurring plant growth regulator (PGR) labeled for use on rice in the U.S. GA3 is now profoundly influencing rice production in the southern United States. This bulletin describes the cultural and varietal problems related to emergence that needed to be addressed and provides the step by step approach leading to the use of GA3 as a seed treatment. Adoption of Best Management Practices by Louisiana Rice Producers (Spring 2000) [Image: Adoption of Best Management Practices by Louisiana Rice Producers (Spring 2000)] The results presented in this publication indicate that efforts to educate producers about nonpoint source pollution and recommended practices to minimize it can be effective in encouraging producers to adopt best management practices, whether those educational efforts are through dissemination of information at producer meetings or other outlets. An Estimation of Rough Rice Basis in Southwest Louisiana (1998) [Image: An Estimation of Rough Rice Basis in Southwest Louisiana (1998)] This report presents basis estimates for long grain rough rice in Southwest Louisiana for each of six marketing years from 1991-92 through 1996-97. The primary goal of this study is to enhance the understanding of basis movements in Southwest Louisiana, thereby increasing the likelihood that sound marketing decisions will be made by market participants. Relaying: An Intercropping Approach to the Co-culture of Crawfish and Rice (1997) [Image: Relaying: An Intercropping Approach to the Coculture of Crawfish and Rice (1997)] This study was designed to examine the biological and economical efficacy of relaying crawfish into a growing rice crop in an intercropping manner.
