Abstract

Field studies were conducted on a Taloka silt loam (Mollic Albaqualf) to determine the effects of residual levels of metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide] on rice (Oryza sativa L.). Yield reductions could be overcome by increasing rice seeding rate, by decreasing seeding depth, or by applying the safeners CGA-43089 [α-(cyanomethoxyimino)-benzacetonitrile] or CGA-92194 [α-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl-methoximino)-benzacetonitrile] to the rice seed. Greenhouse studies with the safeners and reduced seeding depths indicated that CGA-92194 was better than CGA-43089 for protecting rice from metolachlor injury, but reduced seeding depths did not reduce metolachlor injury.
