INTERACTIONS OF FENOXAPROP-ETHYL WITH BENSULFURON AND BENTAZON IN DRY-SEEDED RICE (ORYZA-SATIVA)

Field experiments were conducted in 1993 and 1994 to evaluate barnyard grass control with fenoxaprop-ethyl applied alone or in a mixture with bentazon or bensulfuron. Bensulfuron at 52 g ai/ha did not reduce bar nyardgrass control with fenoxaprop-ethyl applied at rates of 56, 75, o r 94 g ai/ha. In contrast, mixing bentazon at 1.1 kg ae/ha with fenoxa prop-ethyl reduced barnyardgrass control and rice yield compared with fenoxaprop-ethyl applied alone or mixed with bensulfuron.
