Calvin Odero, Michael Karounos, and Ron Cherry

Several insects and weeds can affect production and profitability of rice. Management of fall panicum in rice and in sugarcane fields surrounding rice fields is important to mitigate risks posed by weeds and the rice stink bug complex in Florida rice.
