Fall-applied residual herbicides are among the best available options to use for glyphosate-resistant (GR) Italian ryegrass control, according to a newly published research article<\/a> in the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) Weed Technology<\/em><\/a> journal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGR Italian ryegrass is one of the most troublesome weeds for rice production in Mississippi,\u201d says Jason A. Bond, Extension\/Research Professor, Mississippi State University, Delta Research and Extension Center, and WSSA member-scientist. \u201cThis research indicates that fall-applied residual herbicides such as dimethenamid-P (an active ingredient in Outlook\u00ae<\/sup>) should be utilized to control GR-resistant Italian ryegrass in Mississippi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their research, Bond and a team at Mississippi State University\u2019s Delta Research and Extension Center conducted two separate field studies during 2021 to 2022 and 2022 to 2023 in Stoneville, Mississippi. They evaluated GR Italian ryegrass control with fall-applied residual herbicide mixtures (Herbicide Mixture Study) and sequential PRE followed by POST herbicide programs with multiple applications of residual herbicides (Sequential Herbicide Application Study).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Mississippi, rice production typically requires a fall- or early-spring herbicide application because reducing undesirable vegetation at the time of seeding is key for establishing an adequate rice stand, explains Bond. To accomplish this, preplant herbicide applications (burndown) must be timely and are most often applied during February or March in Mississippi, he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the Herbicide Mixture Study, dimethenamid-P (Outlook\u00ae<\/sup>), pyroxasulfone (Zidua\u00ae<\/sup>), and S<\/em>-metolachlor (Dual Magnum\u00ae<\/sup>) alone provided greater than 94% control of GR Italian ryegrass 21 days after treatment (DAT),\u201d reports Bond. He adds that the study confirms fall-applied residual herbicides are a necessary component for GR Italian ryegrass control programs in Mississippi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
