Yesterday, I visited a farm with blast in Glenn County. In this case, the grower seeded M-210, and as an experiment, he planted some M-105 in a very small area at the time of clean up herbicide application. This is a location where blast is common.
We are excited to announce the launch of a new rice podcast, "Thoughts on Rice", hosted by the UCCE Rice Advisors and found wherever you listen to podcasts. This podcast is for growers, PCAs, consultants, and other industry professionals in the California rice industry.
In the last two weeks, I visited a couple of fields suspected of having blast. After looking at the symptoms and the distribution of the lesions in the field, we determined that the injury we were observing was most likely due to herbicide burn.
