Farmers in Arkansas, during 1904, began that state's moved toward major efforts in rice growing. California followed suit in 1912. Arkansas and California eventually became the two largest growers of rice in the nation. [3] [2] Texas rice industry on the Gulf Coast was originally established in 1904 when seed was imported from Japan.
The Feekes scale is a system to identify the growth and development of cereal crops introduced by the Dutch agronomists Willem Feekes (1907-1979) in 1941. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This scale is more widely used in the United States [ 3 ] than other similar and more descriptive [ 4 ] [ 5 ] scales such as the Zadoks scale or the BBCH scale .
The results show that planting more pounds per acre of rye increased the cover crop's production as well as decreased the amount of weeds. The same was true when scientists tested seeding rates on legumes and oats; a higher density of seeds planted per acre decreased the amount of weeds and increased the yield of legume and oat production.
When aerial seeding a cover crop, one must seed them at least 7 to 10 days before drilled cover crops. The reason for this is because the aerial seeding method is slower than that of the drilled method. Seeding rates for most plants should be 25% to 50% higher with aerial seeding, when compared to other more conventional methods like drilling.

A seed rate of about 100 kg of seed per hectare (2 bushels per acre) is typical, though rates vary considerably depending on crop species, soil conditions, and farmer's preference. Excessive rates can cause the crop to lodge, while too thin a rate will result in poor utilisation of the land, competition with weeds and a reduction in the yield .
