| Rains Batter Rice, Other Crops; But Cotton May Be Bright Spot Recent rains have drenched Louisiana, and the outlook is not good for the state’s rice crop. Corn and wheat also have taken a beating – but specialists believe the Louisiana cotton crop may have weathered the storm. Double-digit rainfall was recorded in many areas of the state over the past couple of weeks, and totals exceeding 20 inches were seen in some places. Observers even reported as much as 24-27 inches in spots. |
| Aerial Applicators Important; ‘Clinics’ Help With Efficiency (Distributed03/27/03) Rice planting has begun in South Louisiana, but many farmers in the central and northern parts of the state are looking for options because they’ve been delayed by persistent rains and wet field conditions. That’s where the state’s aerial applicators – pilots with specially equipped aircraft – come in. And many of those aerial applicators take advantage of LSU AgCenter services that help them check their equipment. |

As a reward for his efforts, he received the state's farmer of the year award Friday evening (March 21). |

| Proactive Approach Needed to Control Pests in Rice Applied properly, Newpath herbicide is an effective remedy for red rice and grasses in Clearfield rice. It's important to spray insecticide after finding rice water weevils because the only pesticides authorized for use after planting are for adults only. |
| To Control Red Rice, the Choice is Clearfield Clearfield 161 tolerates Newpath extremely well, allowing more flexibility for the application timing. With the early versions of the seed, farmers had to spray before emergence and then wait until the plants reached the 4-leaf stage. But 161 allows farmers to apply Newpath after emergence and before the 4-leaf stage, which allows for better red rice control. |
| Researchers Looking For New Ways To Fight Rice Water Weevils (Distributed 04/23/04) LSU AgCenter entomologist Dr. Michael Stout is studying three chemicals that could be used as seed treatment replacements for Icon to fight rice water weevils. Stout is also studying two proposed granular chemicals. |

| Wet Weather Affecting Louisiana Crops More Than Rising Fuel, Fertilizer Costs (Distributed 03/19/03) Wet weather rather than climbing fuel and fertilizer costs is keeping Louisiana farmers from planting corn, according to an expert with the LSU AgCenter. |

| LSU AgCenter’s Cocodrie King; New Rice Varieties Coming Cocodrie, a rice variety released by the LSU AgCenter in the late 1990s, remained king of the rice paddy in Louisiana this year, but AgCenter researchers say they’re tinkering with a number of new rice lines that could give farmers more options at planting time within a couple of years.Among those are new medium-grain experimental lines and improved Clearfield rice lines that soon will be evaluated in winter plots at a Puerto Rican nursery that the LSU AgCenter shares with other universities. |
