A comparison study for the effect of Machete , Saturn & Ronstar herbicides on direct seeded rice & associated weeds under saline & clay soil conditions.

Abstract: Four field experiments were conducted in El – Gimmeza and El-Serw Stations during 1993 and 1994 seasons to study the performance of Machete 60% EC (1.0 l/fed.) ; Saturn 50% EC (1+1 l/fed.) and Ronstar 25 % EC (0.4+0.4 l/fed.) applied before either with rice seeds soaked in water for only 2 days or rice seeds soaked for 2 days and then incubated for another 2 days to find a suitable and beneficial measures coupled with safety for weed control in direct seeded rice firlds. Results revealed that Echinochloa crusgalli and Cyperus difformis were very susceptible to Machete , Saturn and Ronstar meanwhile, Ammanta auriculata was only susceptible to Ronstar. Machete caused significant severe reduction in rice stand especially with rice seeds soaked in water and incubated for 2 days, meanwhile Saturn (1+1 l/fed.) or Ronstar at (400+400 cm/fed.) were safe for rice plants. Concerning the effect on rice yield both grain yield/fed. and number of panicles/m2 were higher with Saturn 50 % and followed by Ronstar 25 % either in saline or clay soil conditions. Thus, both Saturn or Ronstar can be recommended for weed control in direct seeded rice either under saline or fertile soil conditions.
