About Rice Research and Practice

Welcome to the University of Arkansas Libraries’ website on rice research and culture. Arkansas is a national and international leader in rice production, technology, and information. The University of Arkansas offers comprehensive programs to farmers, scientists, students, and governments in rice research, extension, education, marketing, and policy developments. Through its partnership with Arkansas farmer-owned cooperatives, the Rice Research and Promotion Board, and other groups, the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture serves as a major resource of technical information, education, and training for the world's most important food crop.

This site is part of the Agriculture Network Information Center. As part of this Network, this site aims to provide selective quality resources relating to rice research in the developed world for researchers, information specialists, educators, and members of the public.

On this website you will find materials relating to the major abstracts and indexes that are available free on the Web or through subscription. These will point a researcher in the right direction to find comprehensive information on all aspects of rice. The catalogs of libraries in the top six rice producing states in the United States and the departments and colleges where most of the rice research is conducted are also included. The website also lists rice organizations/associations, research boards, companies that import, export, or process rice, rice statistics, news of the industry, information on conferences, and delicious recipes.
