Anybody read that article in the LA Sportsman about goose hunting? It talked about a relatively new strain of rice some of the farmers have been using that is resistant to spraying. They feel like the geese don't like it and its caused them not to consistently use fields that are normally magnets. Any of you biologists have any feedback on this?
it was engineered in Morehouse Parish to try and keep shovelers from eating all the rice, keeping snows off it was just another bonus - no have not read it. i saw the cover about raising giant bucks and i am sure there are 964 articles on how to catch speckled trout, but i will more than likely read it soon. if it was written in the sportsman or on wiki[pedia it is true
at this point coincidence.
Clearfield basically round up ready rice and it does what it says.. clears a field of everything but rice. No geese in a clearfield field could be many things, could be lack of "weeds" that drew the gees in. Could be lack of a certain invertebrate that was present because of the "weeds" that were present. I don't think palatibilty has anything to do with it....
Makes sense PB. Was talking to a farmer buddy of mine yesterday about why the gees hadn't been moving into their fields as much the last few years. A few years ago we'd pass shoot snows and worked decent numbers of specs. Past few years, they'd get into a field or two and eat out a few little holes instead of cleaning out the whole field. I mentioned this article to him and he was suprised. ...
Pas, you've done a fair job of describing clearfield rice, but not exactly right. clearfield is not like roundup ready in several ways. First & foremost clearfield rice & it's tolerance to the newpath chemistry is not a genetic manipulation, it was achieved thru natural selection of tolerance from one variety and then cross bred into the commercial varieties we have today. Another is that the ...
