I received several calls and comments about issues with tadpole shrimp this spring. While this pest is well known to growers and PCAs, it can still be difficult to manage during planting time. Mistiming of insecticide application can result in shrimp damage.
The Migratory Bird Conservation Partnership (Audubon California, The Nature Conservancy, and Point Blue Conservation Science), in collaboration with the California Rice Commission and the Delta Conservancy, and funding from the California Dept.
We are looking for rice growers who would like to collaborate with UCCE on a drip-tape irrigated rice and tomato rotation project. The project, if funded, would start in 2025 and run for 3 years (until 2028).
