Varieties between species

Echinochloa crusgalli
Strong adaptability to the environment
Uncompleted control in early stage make it
very worse and difficult to control later
Cumulative vital seeds survive in soil make the
weed base bigger year after year
Serious herbicide resistance (Propanil,
Quinclorac, etc.)
 Leptochloa chinensis

Strong adaptability to the environment

Uncompleted control in early stage make it worse and difficult to control later
Cumulative vital seeds survive in soil make the weed base bigger year after year
 Oxaziclomefone

Bispyribac-sodium

Cyhalofop-butyl

Control of Grassy Weeds

 Oxaziclomefone
Advantages:
New mode of action
High herbicidal activity, especially for Echinochloa crusgalli and Echinochloa
oryzicola
Applied in different rice field, direct-seeded or transplanted
Safe to rice and rotational crops
Wide application time range
Long residual activity
Save the labor

Notes:
Keep the flooded layer of 1-3cm when applied to transplanted rice field

Formulations:
Oxaziclomefone 97% TC, Oxaziclomefone 1% SC
 Bispyribac-sodium
Advantages:
High herbicidal activity
Wide weed control
Active against 1-7 leaf stages of Echinochloa spp
Notes:
Suggested for direct-seeded rice field, wet or dry
Applied after rice of 5 leaf stage, or injury may occur
Low temperature may decrease the herbicidal ability
Hydrolysis under high temperature
Degradation under low pH condition
Used with Organo-silicone surfactant PASS to get a better control
Formulations:
Bispyribac-sodium 95% TC, Bispyribac-sodium 40% WP, Bispyribac-sodium
10% SC
 Cyhalofop-butyl
Advantages:
Safe to rice
Effective against Propanil- or Quinclorac-resistant Echinochloa
High active against Leptochloa chinensis

Notes:
Only applied post-emergence
Do not use with Sulfonylurea herbicides as antagonism may occur

Formulations:
Cyhalofop-butyl 97% TC, Cyhalofop-butyl 20% OF, Cyhalofop-butyl 10% EC,
Cyhalofop-butyl 10% EW
