Rice is a rotational crop in the sugarcane production system on organic soils in the Everglades Agricultural Area in southern Florida. Several insects and weeds can affect production and profitability of rice. Management of fall panicum in rice and in sugarcane fields surrounding rice fields is important to mitigate risks posed by weeds and the rice stink bug complex in Florida rice.
