This publication reports on the one year extension project “Research to Practice in Rice Farming Systems”. The project provides technical support to the NSW Department of Primary Industry rice extension/research team. This enables the promotion of best management practices in rice farming systems which in turn maximises productivity of rice growers and ensures irrigation farming stays viable, with the rice industry also having important flow-on benefits to regional communities.
The report is targeted at rice farmers and agribusiness servicing the rice industry.
