  • PERFORMANCE REPORT State: Louisiana Project Number: W-55-25 Project Title: Upland Survey Period Covered: July 1, 2010
    PERFORMANCE REPORT State: Louisiana Project Number: W-55-25 Project Title: Upland Survey Period Covered: July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011 Study Number and Title: V-4, Bobwhite Fall Whistling Surveys Study Objective: To determine relative size and distribution of bobwhite populations in Louisiana. Study Abstract Bobwhite fall whistling counts were conducted statewide along 32 routes (7 additional routes were assumed zeros and 4 others were unable to be run). Fall whistling counts did not differ (P = 0.3482) among the 5 habitat types for 2010. They did, however, differ between 2009 and 2010, with more whistling counts detected in 2009 than in 2010 for both the Northwest mixed shortleaf and loblolly pine-hardwood and Florida Parishes loblolly pine habitats. No coveys were recorded on the Northwest mixed shortleaf and loblolly pine- hardwood or Mississippi/Atchafalaya agricultural belt (0.00 whistles/stop) in 2010 (Tables 1 and 2). Jackson- Bienville WMA, Camp Beauregard, and Vernon District No. 1 routes yielded 0.25, 0.00, and 0.10 whistles/stop, respectively (Table 3). Five (5) summer bobwhite counts were conducted on the Sandy Hollow Wildlife Management Area. Counts ranged from 12-45 (Figure 1). The 2011 mean count was 27.6, which is the same as in 2010. The peak count (45) was lower than the long-term (1986-2010) average peak count of 89.3, but was higher than 8 of the past 10 years (Figure 2). A. Activity: Fall whistling counts were conducted along 37 pre-selected routes to determine relative size and distribution of fall bobwhite populations. The 5 habitat types surveyed were historic longleaf pine, mixed shortleaf and loblolly pine-hardwood, loblolly pine (Florida Parishes), the rice belt and the Mississippi/Atchafalaya agricultural belt.

And the Key Is Integrity of the Warehouse Operator and the Warehouse Receipt Through -- Financial Responsibility Warehouse Facilities and Practices Management’s Ethics and Capabilities Licensing Bonding Examination Electronic Providers March 2015 BACKGROUND INFORMATION LEGISLATIVE The United States Warehouse Act (USWA) or the Act was originally passed by AUTHORITY the Congress on August 11, 1916. On November 9, 2000, the President signed the Grain Standards and Warehouse Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-472) which amended the USWA in its entirety and modernized the regulation of Federal warehouses to better reflect current trade and operational practices. The 2000 Act authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to license and examine public warehouse operators that store agricultural products. It also gives the Secretary broad authority to improve the administration of various aspects involving the trade of agricultural products under the purview of the USWA, including the use, establishment and maintenance of electronic warehouse receipts and other electronic documents for all agricultural products. The USWA is considered a “permissive regulatory act.” It is permissive because it only applies to warehouse operators who voluntarily apply for licensing and regulatory because each licensee must operate under its provisions and be subject to the regulations and licensing agreements administered by the USWA.

  • Texas Rice June 2010 Volume X Number 4
    Texas Beaumont, Texas Rice June 2010 Volume X Number 4 Past, Present, and Future Disease Management in Rice The Texas Rice Belt provides a warm, humid climate favorable for the development of many rice diseases. Rice diseases cause significant reductions in yield, grain quality, and income to rice growers. The development of diseases is greatly affected by many factors including varietal resistance, environmental conditions, and agronomic practices. As a result, the prevalence and severity of diseases significantly vary with year and location. However, losses from certain diseases can be reduced by the use of resistant varieties, improved practices and management, and effective fungicides and their combinations. The purpose Fig. 1. Severity of brown leaf spot in rice varieties affected by year of this article is to briefly review past of varietal release. and current rice diseases and their management and to outline future by Bipolaris oryzae in 1934, leaf smut caused by disease management of rice in Texas. Entyloma oryzae in 1934, narrow brown leaf spot Rice diseases have changed profoundly in caused by Cercospora janseana in 1935, and kernel severity and importance affecting grain yield over smut caused by Tilletia barclayana in 1936 (Atkins, the past 100 years of Texas rice production.

KINDS OF PATTERNS OF VARIAnON Geographic patterns of variation have historically been used to trace the ori­ gin and evolution of cultivated plants. We have seen that Vavilov (1926. 1949/50) thought that areas of maximum genetic diversity represented centers of origin and that the origin of a crop could be identified by the simple proce­ dure of analyzing variation patterns and plotting regions where diversity was concentrated. It turned out that centers of diversity are not the same as centers of origin. yet many crops do exhibit centers of diversity. The phenomenon is real and requires explanation. What causes variation to accumulate in secon­ dary centers is not too well understood, but some observable factors are: 1. A long history of continuous cultivation. 2. Ecological diversity. many habitats accommodate many races. 3. Human diversity, different tribes are attracted to different races of the crop. 4. Introgression with wild and weedy relatives or between different races of a crop. There may be other causes. but the reasons for secondary centers are hu­ man.

    Rice Crop Timeline for the Southern States of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi Matt Shipp, Louisiana State University INTRODUCTION This timeline has been created to give a general overview of crop production, worker activities, and key pests of rice grown in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. This document is intended to describe the activities and their relationship to pesticide applications that take place in the field throughout the crop cycle. Pesticide use recommendations are current as of 2002. CROP PRODUCTION Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi rank 1, 2, and 4, respectively, for rice production within the United States. The three states had a combined total of 2,420,000 acres harvested in 2001. The value of these acres was slightly over $640,000,000 and represented 72% of the nation’s total. Short grain – Arkansas Medium grain – Arkansas and Louisiana Long grain – Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi Rice thrives in the warmer temperate regions of the south. It can be cultivated in almost any soil type other than deep sand. An important factor, regardless of soil texture, is the presence of an impervious subsoil layer in the form of a fragipan or clay horizon minimizing the percolation of water. The idea is to be able to maintain water in the fields which are, in essence, shallow ponds. LAND AND SEEDBED PREPARATION Leveling and Drainage Considerations Fields for growing rice should be relatively level but gently sloping toward drainage ditches. Ideally, land leveling for a uniform grade of 0.2 percent slope or less provides the following: (1) necessary early drainage in the spring for early soil preparation which permits early seeding, (2) uniform flood depth which reduces the amount of water needed for irrigation, and (3) the need for fewer levees.
