Abstract
"Missouri rice farmers started furrow-irrigated production beginning around 1990. For many years, the amount of land in "row rice" was small. But interest in the cropping system has increased in recent years. About 30% of the rice currently is produced with furrow irrigation. In felds well suited to fooded rice, furrow irrigation usually does not increase yields. Te main advantage of furrow-irrigated rice is that levees and gates are not required. Tis saves rice producers time and labor costs. Soils are an important factor in the decision process. For felds that do not efciently retain foodwater, furrow irrigation may be a good fit. Te purpose of this publication is to introduce producers to the furrow-irrigated rice system and help interested individuals decide whether that system has potential for use on their farms."--First page.
