Tolerance of Rice (Oryza sativa) to Acifluorfen and Triclopyr Applied Alone or in Mixtures by Propanil
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Acifluorfen {5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid} applied alone and in mixtures with propanil [N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)propanamide] reduced rough grain yield of rice (Oryza sativa L. ‘Lebonnet’ or ‘Bond’) by 7% when applied at the late-booting or heading growth stages, averaged over several rates of application. Earlier applications did not reduce rice yield. The highest rate (0.6 kg ai/ha) of acifluorfen alone and in mixtures with propanil at 3.4 kg ai/ha reduced grain yields more than lower rates (0.1 or 0.3 kg ai/ha). Triclopyr {[(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl)oxy] acetic acid} alone and in mixtures with propanil reduced rough grain yields of rice by 18% when applied at the late-booting growth stage, averaged over several rates of applications, but did not affect yields when applied at the early-tillering, jointing, or early-booting growth stages. Whole-grain milling yield and germination of rice seed were not affected by acifluorfen or triclopyr alone or in mixtures with propanil, regardless of rate or growth stage of application.
