Ecrevisse Spring Regrowth
'Ecrevisse,' the First Rice Variety Developed Specifically for Use in Crawfish Ponds
Introduced by the LSU AgCenter in 2004, Ecrevisse is the first rice cultivar specifically suited as a forage crop for crawfish production.

Effects of Food Limitations On Crawfish Reproduction
Limited food resources near the end of the crawfish production season resulted in lower reproduction. Moreover, short-term feeding with high protein/high energy feeds in forage depleted ponds before crawfish burrowing seemed to mitigate the food shortages and even increased the spawning rate over those crawfish from ponds rich in forage.
Crawfish Production Does Not Conform Well to a "Recipe" Approach
LA Farm & Ranch (Nov. 2006) There are several reasons why a "recipe" approach might work for many commodities but is much less certain for crawfish.
Coastal Wetlands Symposium
Current Status of Coastal Wetland Plants Research and Restoration Efforts
“Proceedings of Symposium on Current Status of Coastal Wetland Plants Research and Restoration Efforts at the LSU AgCenter Rice Research Station, November 14, 2008. Meeting overview, Agenda, Presentation abstracts, Author information, and List of registered attendees are provided”.
Blue/Red/White Crawfish
Color Variations in the Red Swamp Crawfish
Captured "red swamp crawfish" vary widely in color because of their diet and environmental conditions, but the most exotic colors occur because of mutations in the genes that are responsible for pigment formation.

Study Options when Choosing Rice Varieties in Crawfish Ponds
April 2005. Questions are often asked about which rice variety is best to plant in crawfish ponds. When rice production is a primary goal and varieties are limited to the grain producing types, few differences exist in their forage traits.

Square mesh traps
Improved Crawfish Trap Design Might Mean Fewer Traps Needed
Over the last several years, crawfish farmers have been switching to a slightly different crawfish trap – one constructed of ¾-inch square mesh wire in lieu of those made from ¾-inch hexagonal (6-sided) mesh. The square mesh traps are more durable and produce larger catches.

China: An Emerging Superpower
The Rice Research Institute located at the Guangxi Academy is renowned for its expertise in rice research, and this is the primary purpose of our visit. We hope to establish long-term collaborative research efforts between this Chinese research facility and the Rice Station that will ultimately benefit the Louisiana rice industry.

Field of LA 2082 at Rice Research Station
2007 Rice Crop Review
The 2007 Louisiana rice crop is out of the field for the most part. While a few fields of second crop remain to be harvested, the harvest season is pretty much completed.

94th Annual Research Report
Research at the Rice Research Station is conducted cooperatively by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station and the United States Department of Agriculture. The 2002 rice research program included breeding, biotechnology, variety testing, production and distribution of foundation seed, fertilization, soil and water management, cultural practices, weed control, insect control, disease investigations, rice drying, bird control in rice, and physiology studies.

96th Annual Research Report
2004 rice research program included breeding, biotechnology, variety testing, production and distribution of foundation seed, fertilization, soil and water management, cultural practices, weed control, insect control, disease investigations, rice drying, bird control in rice, and physiology studies. The aquaculture research program places emphasis upon production practices, forages, and multi-cropping of crawfish with agronomic crops
New Technology: Essential for the Rice Industry
LA Farm & Ranch (September 2006) - Mechanized rice production in the United States had its origin on the southwest Louisiana coastal prairies in the latter part of the 19th century. Since the beginning of this industry, there has been a need for the continual development of new technology to boost the productivity and economic viability of rice production.
Louisiana Rice Producers Need to Optimize Yields to Maximize Returns
LA Farm & Ranch (April 2006) - The 2006 rice production season will be a difficult one for Lousiana producers. Projected low cash prices for the crop, coupled with historically high input costs, will make it imperative that producers do an excellent job in managing the crop.
Rice Quality Determines Payment
LA Farm & Ranch (August 2006) - Rice quality is influenced by numerous factors and the key to determining the price a grower will receive for the harvested crop.
