Red Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i>) Control with Herbicide Treatments in Soybeans (<i>Glycine max</i>)

Abstract

Preplant incorporation of alachlor [2-chloro- N -(2,6-diethylphenyl)- N -(methoxymethyl)acetamide] at 3.6 kg ai/ha, metolachlor [2-chloro- N -(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)- N -(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide] at 2.2 kg ai/ha, and tank mixtures of imazaquin {2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1 H -imidazol-2-yl]-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid} with either alachlor at 0.14 + 2.2 kg ai/ha or metolachlor at 0.14 + 1.1 kg ai/ha controlled &gt;90% red rice ( Oryza sativa L. # ORYSA) in soybeans [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Also, FMC-57020 [2-(2-chlorophenyl)methyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone] at 1.7 kg ai/ha applied preplant incorporated controlled &gt; 80% of the red rice. DPX-Y6202 {2-[4-[(6-chloro-2-quinoxalinyl)oxy]-phenoxy]-propionic acid, ethyl ester} was the best and most consistent postemergence herbicide treatment for red rice control when applied once at 0.28 kg ai/ha or sequentially at 0.14 kg ai/ha each time. Haloxyfop {2-[4-[[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]oxy] phenoxy] propanoic acid} applied at 0.16 kg ai/ha followed by another application at 0.14 kg ai/ha gave excellent red rice control in 2 of 3 years. Soybeans were uninjured by the herbicide treatments and yield was higher from treated than untreated soybeans.
