Vf. Carey et al., INTERFERENCE DURATIONS OF BEARDED SPRANGLETOP (LEPTOCHLOA-FASCICULARIS) IN RICE (ORYZA-SATIVA), Weed science, 42(2), 1994, pp. 180-183
Effects of bearded sprangletop interference durations on Lemont and Ne
wbonnet rice cultivars were studied. Interference durations of 63, 70,
and 130 d after rice emergence reduced Lemont grain yields 11, 21, an
d 50 %, respectively, and towered Newbonnet grain yields 11, 13, and 3
7 %, respectively. Interference durations of 21 to 56 d after emergenc
e did not reduce grain yields of either cultivar. Bearded sprangletop
grown in Lemont rice produced more biomass than that in Newbonnet. Sea
son-tong interference reduced plant height and straw dry weight of Lem
ont more than that of Newbonnet.
