2.5 - Nutria as emerging pests
Thoughts on Rice
In honor of National Invasive Species Awareness Week, Sarah Marsh Janish discusses the recent focus on nutria in California. Although this semi-aquatic mammal is not new to California, the surge in population and range across the state is of some concern, especially to those of us who work in the habitats they prefer to inhabit.
Report Nutria: "Suspected observations or potential signs of nutria in California should be photographed and immediately reported to CDFW ONLINE, by email to Invasives@wildlife.ca.gov, or by calling (866) 440-9530."

1.5 - Weedy rice with Whitney Brim-Deforest
Thoughts on Rice
Feedback Poll
Today Whitney Brim-Deforest and Sarah Marsh will be sitting down to talk about weedy rice in California. Weedy rice is the same species as cultivated rice, Oryza sativa, which contributes to the difficulty in controlling it; any herbicide that would kill weedy rice would also hurt the crop. Weedy traits of weedy rice including seed shattering and long dormancy. What that means is that the seeds fall off the panicle really easily and can remain dormant in the soil seedbank for years before germinating.
