About Rice Research Station
(Video) The LSU AgCenter’s Rice Research Station was the first rice experimental station in the U.S. Located near Crowley, the station develops improved rice varieties that increase yields for farmers in Louisiana and across the country. Research on crawfish is also conducted at the station because of the close relationship crawfish and rice share. |
How to scout for colaspis in rice - video
For several years Arkansas rice farmers have had to deal with grape colaspis, a small beetle, whose larvae feed on the roots of rice. Rice drilled into soybean stubble is particularly susceptible to damage from this insect. Larval feeding can cause more than 50 percent reduction in stand. This season colaspis has caused stand reductions in a few rice fields in Acadia, Evangeline and St. Landry parishes. This short video will train you to scout for colaspis in rice. (Runtime: 3:58) |
