In the Southern US, growers use drill seeded systems that allow them to delay planting or flooding of the rice fields. This allows rice plants to grow larger and better tolerate rice water weevils. Southern rice growers also use seed treatments with thiomethoxam (Cruiser) that also help In California, the best methods are treating field edges, rebuilding levees, winter flooding, and foliar spraying with pyrethroids such as lambda-cyhalothrin (Warrior) or neonicotinoids such as clothianidin (Belay). The spraying of insecticides is the cheapest option available to growers. Host plant resistance has been investigated in rice but results have been less than desirable. Since the 1960s, out of 10,000 lines tested, only 2 showed moderate resistance to rice water weevil feeding. Unfortunately the 2 lines had poor agronomic traits, which led to their discontinued use   http://jipm.oxfordjournals.org/content/5/4/D1     Ultra wide angle lens  An ultra wide-angle lens is a lens whose focal length is shorter than the short side of film or sensor. Thus the term denotes a different range of lenses, relative to the size of the sensor in the camera in question. Ultra-wide angle lenses come in two varieties: Fisheye lenses with curvilinear barrel distortion, and rectilinear lenses which are designed so that straight lines in the scene will render straight (uncurved) in the photographic image and thus lack the extreme distortion that is characteristic of a fisheye lens. Neither denotes a particular range of focal lengths, the difference is only whether distortion is present or not. However, the shorter the focal length, the more difficult it is to implement rectilinear correction. In fisheye lenses, the visual angle is close to or more than 180 degrees in at least one direction. For example, a "diagonal fish eye" would have a viewing angle of at least 180 degrees within the diagonals of the frame. A "circular fisheye" would represent the image in the form of a circle. Rectilinear ultra-wide angle lenses are used in photography and cinematography sometimes to achieve three-dimensional perspective distortion instead of simply two-dimensional barrel distortion. A notable, signature employment for this purpose is frequently seen in the films of Terry Gilliam, for instance. The DOF afforded by an ultra wide-angle lens is very great.
