Integrating agricultural and chemical methods for efficient weed control and high yielding in drill-seeded rice [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

A field study was conducted during 2010 and 2011 rice growing seasons at Rice Research and Training Center, Sakha, Kafr El-Sheikh, Egypt to detect the influence of integrating rice seeding-bed techniques and weed control on weeds and rice yields of drill-seeded rice. The application of stale-bed technique including spraying glyphosate before drilling rice seeds significantly reduced weed -dry weight while increased numberof tillers, number of panicles /unit area and rice grain yield. All tested herbicide treatments (thiobencarb followed by penoxulam, thiobencarb alone at a high rate, penoxulame at a high rate and bispyribac alone) greatly suppressed dry weight of weeds in drill-seeded rice while significantly increased number of tillers, panicles/m² and rice grain yield/ha.
