Abstract

Six experiments were conducted in three rice fields near Harrisburg, AR in Poinsett County in 1991 and 1992 to confirm barnyardgrass resistance to propanil and to compare herbicide treatments for control of propanil-resistant barnyardgrass. In all experiments, standard treatments of thiobencarb applied delayed PRE or tank mixtures of propanil + thiobencarb applied POST controlled propanil-resistant barnyardgrass. In five of six experiments, propanil failed to control barnyardgrass at 6 to 8 kg ai/ha (three times use rates) and in three experiments it provided inconsistent control at 11 kg/ha. Emulsifiable propanil at 11 kg/ha frequently controlled resistant barnyardgrass better than the dry flowable formulation. Treatments that consistently controlled propanil-resistant barnyardgrass included propanil tank-mixed with pendimethalin or quinclorac applied POST to two-leaf grass; quinclorac applied alone delayed PRE or POST or applied POST tank-mixed with thiobencarb, pendimethalin, or a formulated mixture of molinate and propanil; a formulated mixture of propanil and molinate applied POST in tank mixtures with thiobencarb or pendimethalin; and fenoxaprop or fenoxaprop-P alone applied POST to four-leaf grass prior to flood establishment. Herbicide treatments that failed to control resistant barnyardgrass included POST applications of a formulated mixture of propanil and molinate alone and propanil in tank mixtures with bromoxynil or triclopyr. These studies confirm that barnyardgrass from several farms in Arkansas have resistance to propanil and identified treatments that control propanil-resistant barnyardgrass.
