Let L be a ample line bundle on a projective scheme X. We say that (X,L) satisfies property QR(k) if the homogeneous ideal can be generated by quadrics of rank less than or equal to k. In the previous paper, we show that the Veronese embedding satisfies property QR(3). Let (X,L) be a Segre-Veronese embedding where X is a product of P^{a_i} with i=1,...,l and L is a very ample lines bundle O_X(d_1,d_2,...,d_l). In the paper [Linear determinantal equations for all projective schemes, SS2011], they prove that (X,L) satisfies QR(4) and it is determinantally presented if at least l-2 entries of d_1,...,d_l are at least 2. in this talk, we prove that (X,L) satisfies Qr(3) if and only if all the entries of d_1,...,d_l are at least 2. For one direction, we compute the radical ideal of 4 by 4 minors of a big matrix with linear forms, and for the other direction, we use the inducution on the sum of entries of (d_1,...,d_l).
