Choose crop for calculation
Rice Rotation Calculator
This interactive decision support tool is meant to support rice growers in Sacramento Valley and other interested persons in understanding the possible economic impacts of switching from rice over to a rotation crop. Crop rotations have been shown to support several agronomic challenges related to pests, and resistance issues, by disrupting pest life cycles, as well as allowing for the use of pesticide modes of action not available in a continuous rice system. Rotations may also help to improve long-term soil health functions like improved soil structure, and increased nutrient cycling and uptake.
