Weed Control on Mechanical Transplanting Culture of Rice

Effects of Delaying Transplanting on Agronomic Traits and Grain Yield of Rice under Mechanical Transplantation Pattern

A delay in the mechanical transplantation (MT) of rice seedlings frequently occurs in Huanghuai wheat-rice rotation cropping districts of China, due to the late harvest of wheat, the poor weather conditions and the insufficiency of transplanters, missing the optimum transplanting time and causing seedlings to age. To identify how delaying transplanting rice affects the agronomic characteristics...

Rice Weed Control with Penoxsulam (Grasp)

Two experiments were established in 2003 at the Rice Research and Extension Center near Stuttgart, Ark., to evaluate the potential of penoxsulam (Grasp) as part of a rice weed control program. In experiment one, penoxsulam applied alone and in tank mixtures early postemergence (EPOST) (two-leaf rice, one-leaf grass, two-leaf weeds) was evaluated, and experiment two evaluated penoxsulam applied ...

Intermittent Irrigation Effects on Barnyardgrass Weed Control and Rice Yield

Rice Bran Application under Deep Flooding Can Control Weed and Increase Grain Yield in Organic Rice Culture

Rice bran application just after transplanting has been increasingly practiced as a herbicide-substitute for organic rice production in Korea. However, this practice is frequently reported to be unsatisfactory in weed suppression. An experiment with five treatments that combine flooding depth (shallow and deep), rice bran application level (low and high), and herbicide application was carried o...

Critical Period of Weed Control in Aerobic Rice

Critical period of weed control is the foundation of integrated weed management and, hence, can be considered the first step to design weed control strategy. To determine critical period of weed control of aerobic rice, field trials were conducted during 2010/2011 at Universiti Putra Malaysia. A quantitative series of treatments comprising two components, (a) increasing duration of weed interfe...
