The first presentation covers the effects of main crop harvest height on ratoon yield, re-growth rate, and panicle point of origin for two long grain rice cultivars. The second presentation covers the effects of tillage system selection (stale seedbed vs. conventional tillage) on optimum seeding and N fertilization rates for a medium and long grain rice variety. Agronomy Project [Image: Agronomy plots] The overall objective of the Agronomy Project at the Rice Research Station is to enhance rice production in Louisiana by evaluating and improving nutrient and cultural management practices. The project is headed by Dr. Dustin Harrell.
