In early 2012 UCCE conducted a survey of rice storage facilities (on and off-farm) to see what research and extension needs the rice industry had in this area. The results of the suvey have been published in the journal California Agriculture, and if you are interested, the article can be accessed on the web here: http://californiaagriculture.ucanr.edu/landingpage.cfm?article=ca.v068n01p38&fulltext=yes

The survey showed that storage facilities are users of IPM: most operations rely on monitoring, thresholds, sanitation and aeration to manage pest problems.

We'll use this information to continue work in this area!
