A new blog from University of California Cooperative Extension Rice Specialist Bruce Linquist provides insight into medium grain rice varieties prior to the upcoming planting season.

Here’s a link to the blog, which provides a detailed summary of the statewide variety trial testing program funded by the California Rice Research Board. 

The trials were conducted at eight grower managed fields at different locations in the Sacramento Valley.

The UCCE Rice Website has other articles and information useful for growers, covering a wide range of subjects including armyworm, diseases, fertilizer and straw management.
