      <pubDate>Wed, 25 May 2005 20:20:50 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Proper nitrogen fertilizer management is critical for high rice grain yields.  The source of the nitrogen fertilizer, the placement of the fertilizer in the field, the application rate and application timing should all be carefully considered when developing a fertilizer management plan.</description>

      <description>This report presents estimates of production costs for rice production in Louisiana for the 2008 crop year.  Costs estimates are included for typical rice production systems, including conventional tillage, stale seedbed, production in rotation and fallow, as well as production of conventional and herbicide-resistant varieties.  Production cost estimates are also included for soybeans, wheat and sorghum in Southwest Louisiana.</description>

      <description>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.</description>

      <pubDate>Sun, 03 Oct 2004 23:23:43 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>(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.</description>

      <description>Will the South American rice leaf miner be affected by salt water pushed ashore by Hurricane Rita? LSU AgCenter entomologist Dr. Boris Castro said it’s possible the rice pest’s population could have been weakened by the high salinity, but there’s no way of knowing yet.</description>

      <description>(Distributed 03/21/03) Robert Thevis calls himself a rice farmer, but the 2003 Louisiana Farmer of the Year grows much more than rice. Thevis farms nearly 2,000 acres in Avoyelles Parish – raising soybeans, corn, milo and, when the weather allows, winter wheat. As a reward for his efforts, he received the state's farmer of the year award Friday evening (March 21).</description>

      <description>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.</description>

      <pubDate>Sun, 03 Oct 2004 23:25:48 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>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.</description>

      <title>LSU AgCenter’s Cocodrie King; New Rice Varieties Coming</title>
      <link>http://text.lsuagcenter.com/en/crops_livestock/crops/rice/LSU+AgCenters+Cocodrie+King+New+Rice+Varieties+Coming.htm</link>
      <pubDate>Sun, 03 Oct 2004 23:27:40 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>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.</description>
