Bruce Linquist Lab

Welcome to the Linquist Lab

The central objective to my research and outreach program is directed towards ensuring the long-term sustainability of rice systems. Through research, and in coordination with farm advisors, we provide relevant information in forms suitable for farmers, legislators, and policy makers.

My research focuses on a wide range of issues including:

Developing sustainable and efficient nutrient management practices for rice that maintain or increase yields with limited loss to the environment
Evaluating opportunities to reduce water use
Addressing water quality issues
Accessing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation options
Assessment of heavy metals in rice systems
Crop development
Develop tools and models which allow farmers to more precisely manage their inputs and time
