The last rice planting progress estimate came in at 60% on Monday, but I have a strong feeling that we’ll be in the 80% range Continue reading Arkansas Rice Update 5-16-13 Stressed rice seedlings Arkansas producers have been struggling to plant rice in the cold and wet conditions of 2013. As of the second week of May, the oldest rice I have seen was at the 3-leaf stage.

There is fear Continue reading Rice blast overwintered in Louisiana: Review of management options for Arkansas Bacterial panicle blight (BPB) is a weather-associated disease. Environmental conditions in 2010 and 2011 were favorable for the disease to be severe enough to cause devastatingyield loss in susceptible varieties.
