Abstract

In experiments conducted at the International Rice Research Institute, Philippines, all commonly marketed formulations and derivatives of either [(4-chloro-o-tolyl)oxy]acetic acid (MCPA) or (2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid (2,4,D) performed in about the same way and were equally safe for use in controlling barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crusgalli (L.) Beauv.] and other annual weeds in transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.). Eleven-day-old rice seedlings were more susceptible to amine salts of 2,4-D or MCPA than 21-day-old seedlings. Granular formulations of some chemicals were relatively less toxic than liquid formulations. The toxic effect of spraying the potassium salt of MCPA was less prolonged on the indica variety, IR22, than it was on the japonica variety, Chianung 242, which had delayed flowering and maturity.
