Summary. Field and glasshouse experiments demonstrated (hat 2,3,5‐trichloro‐4‐ pyridinol (pyriclor) at 50–500 g/ha controls Echinochloa crusgalli in direct‐seeded rice. It prevented germination and restricted growth of the weed under both static and percolating water conditions, but allowed rice to germinate and grow normally. Pyriclor was most effective when applied early; treated plots gave higher yields than those hand‐weeded or sprayed with propanil. Grass weed control was as effective as that given by molinate or nitrofen at much higher rates. Dichlobenil inhibited rice germination, was toxic to young seedlings, and is therefore unsuitable for direct‐seeded rice. Molinate had a wider range of latitude in time of application than the other chemicals tested. Glasshouse experiments indicated that pyriclor moves down in percolating water but is adsorbed more readily in fine than in coarse‐textured soils.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
