Rice Research Station Projects


Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station research is conducted through approved projects that meet specific criteria. Each project is assigned a CRIS (Current Research Information System) number that is used to track the progress of the research and to report the project status to the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station and USDA. CRIS project reports from other states are available from the on-line archives in Washington, D.C. The current projects for the Rice Research Station are listed below.
