“Seeding depth effects on elongation, emergence, and early development of California rice cultivars” with Dr. Alex Ceseski.
In California, several compounding factors make it difficult for farmers to protect their crops from weeds and algae using traditional weed control methods. Dr. Alex Ceseski and his team and working to fix that. By exploring the viability of drill-seeding in California rice production, they aim to find new solutions to a decades-old herbicide problem. This episode, join us as Alex explains how seeding depth, hearty seedlings, and water management may hold the key to stable sushi rice supplies.
