UCCE is currently conducting a survey of fields known to have weedy rice. The objective is to determine if the infestations have increased in the past five years, since the last survey was conducted. We are contacting growers that we know have the weed to let them know about the survey. But if you suspect you have it and would like us to take a look, please contact one of the rice farm advisors in your area.
