Solution Quality and Value

Synergistic products and services for rice farming: RiceTec seeds and RiceReach

At RiceTec, our commitment to sustainable rice production is embodied in two powerful products: RiceTec seed and RiceReach. These solutions naturally reinforce each other, creating a synergistic approach to sustainable rice farming that benefits growers, consumers, and the environment.

As loyal RiceTec farmers can attest, every RiceTec seed bag contains high-quality rice seed. Our seed is rigorously tested before it is sold and is only available treated with zinc as well as broad-spectrum multiple fungicide seed treatments and gibberellic acid to enhance germination and early growth. We also offer insecticide as a seed treatment option.

RiceTec is the only rice seed company that has a local staff of specialists on call during the growing season to answer any questions and make management recommendations regarding how to maximize crop performance. This reflects our commitment to partner with our customers to help them maximize their yields and income. Additionally, RiceTec works with downstream markets to ensure customers that RiceTec products are acceptable for use. All of this, combined with purchasing options, exclusive crop insurance, maximum yield and disease tolerance, makes growing RiceTec rice an easy decision.

SmartRice® Hybrid Seeds

Elevating Sustainable Rice Cultivation.
RiceTec SmartRice hybrids provide powerful genetic advantages for farmers, consumers, and the planet. SmartRice hybrids are resource-efficient seeds that offer higher yields and are genetically suited for direct seeded rice (DSR). They also provide enhanced stress and disease tolerance, resistance to lodging, and improved milling percentages, pushing the boundaries of sustainable rice cultivation.

Increased yield: SmartRice hybrids maximize land use, producing more rice per acre while conserving valuable resources like water and soil.
Resource efficiency: SmartRice hybrids require less land, irrigation water and labor compared to varieties.
Lower greenhouse gas emissions: SmartRice hybrids exhibit lower methane emissions, significantly reducing the greenhouse gas impact versus varieties.
Water reduction: SmartRice hybrids facilitate a shift to sustainable water management practices, enabling farmers to conserve this vital resource.
Reduced labor costs: SmartRice hybrids are designed for direct-seeded rice (DSR), minimizing labor requirements. This cost-saving feature is particularly beneficial for regions transitioning to DSR, addressing labor shortages and rising wages that make traditional rice farming economically challenging.

Rice Cropping Solutions

Elevate Your Rice Farming with RiceTec’s Cropping Solutions.
RiceTec’s rice cropping solutions offer a comprehensive solution for climate-friendly rice, combining cutting-edge seed technology with effective seed protection.

The FullPage rice cropping solution represents a new generation of climate-friendly solutions for rice seed, improving yields, controlling weeds, and providing early-season disease and insect protection. This solution is comprised of SmartRice genetics, Squad seed treatment, unique FullPage trait, and ADAMA’s herbicides.

FullPage hybrids show a marked improvement in tolerance to IMI herbicides. This improved tolerance reduces the risk of crop response during stressful growing conditions and in overlap situations, and increases overall yield. This reduces stress for the grower and improves application, timing and flooding flexibility.

The FullPage Cropping Solution includes the use of Preface™ (imazethapyr) and Postscript™ (imazamox) herbicides. Preface tackles troublesome rice weeds such as red, weedy and feral rice and barnyard grass. It combines post-emergence and residual activity. Postscript can be applied post-emergence or post-flood for any escapes.

The Squad seed treatment system highlights a special treatment technology that creates a smooth surface that allows for better seed identification, improved flowability and planting, and more uniform seed distribution throughout the field, along with proven fungicide and insecticide treatments.

RiceTec and ADAMA provide this total-package weed management system that is fully supported by a team of technical service representatives to make a positive impact on today’s farmers. These representatives are readily available to assist growers in adjusting to this new cropping solution and advising on best practices for use of Preface and Postscript for each farm.

Leading the way in innovative and high-performance seed treatments for rice growers

Squad seed treatment offers premium solutions specifically designed for rice growers. Our proprietary recipes are applied directly to the seed before planting, ensuring the right coverage and rate of each product. This enhances germination, protects against pests and diseases, boosts early growth performance, and aids in technology identification.

With Squad, growers have multiple seed treatment options for a customized solution conveniently “in the bag.” RiceTec rigorously tests our products across various years, geographies, and environments. This ensures farmers receive solutions tailored to their unique needs, resulting in healthier, more uniform crops, improved germination, and greater yield potential.

Plant with confidence, knowing Squad delivers unmatched value and performance, maximizing your seed’s potential.

The Squad product line has three seed treatment options:

Squad Pro — For growers in the Midsouth looking for a premium seed treatment in the bag, RiceTec has a limited supply of Squad Pro. The Squad Pro package offers broad-spectrum, early-season insect and disease protection combined with increased rice water weevil control and suppression of grape colaspis. While this product fits on all drill-seeded acres, it provides extra protection for pests associated with row rice.

Squad Gulf — For Gulf Coast rice farmers, Squad Gulf is customized for growers along the coast who deal primarily with rice water weevils and stem borers throughout the season. The Squad Gulf package has approval for use in both water-seeded and drill-seeded production systems.

Squad Delta — Squad Delta will be the most widely available package that fits most Midsouth production systems. Squad Delta has been a reliable seed treatment package for several years throughout the southern rice belt and has provided consistent early-season insect and disease protection for most drill-seeded rice acres.

All three Squad products will include a base package of gibberellic acid, zinc, and a combination of four fungicides.
