Abstract

Research was conducted to evaluate the weed suppression potential of ‘Rondo’ (4484-1693; PI 657830), a sister line (4484-1665), and other indica rice lines against barnyardgrass in field plots in Stuttgart, AR, using minimal herbicide inputs in two separate 3-yr experiments. Under weed pressure, Rondo and the sister line (4484-1665) generally produced yields that were comparable to those of weed-suppressive indica standards and approximately 50% greater than those of the least-suppressive commercial cultivars, such as ‘Kaybonnet’, ‘Katy’, and ‘Lemont’. Rice yield under weed pressure was correlated with weed-free yield and harvest height. Indica lines tended to produce more tillers than did the commercial cultivars. Tillering potential under weed-free conditions was not correlated with weed suppression or yield loss; however, tillering under weed pressure was strongly correlated with weed suppression and biomass, and yield and yield loss under the weed densities in these experiments. Rondo is presently being used for commercial organic rice production in Texas, in part due to its high yield potential and ability to suppress or tolerate rice pests, including weeds. Our results suggest that the weed-suppressive ability of Rondo and the other indica lines evaluated in these experiments is superior to that of many commercial cultivars.

Se realizó una investigación en dos experimentos de 3 años de duración en parcelas de campo en Stuttgart, AR, para evaluar el potencial de supresión de malezas de ¨Rondö (4484-1693; PI 657830), una línea hermana (4484-1665), y otras líneas de arroz indica contra Echinochloa crus-galli, con uso mínimo de herbicidas. Bajo presión de malezas, Rondo y la línea hermana (4484-1665) generalmente produjeron rendimientos que fueron comparables con los de las variedades de indica estándar para supresión de malezas y aproximadamente un 50% más que los cultivares comerciales con menor capacidad de supresión, tales como “Kaybonnet”, “Katy” y “Lemont”. El rendimiento del arroz bajo presión de malezas estuvo correlacionado con el rendimiento en condiciones libres de malezas y con la altura al momento de la cosecha. Las líneas indica tendieron a producir más hijos que los cultivares comerciales. El potencial de producción de hijos bajo condiciones libres de malezas no estuvo correlacionada con la supresión de malezas o pérdida en rendimiento. Sin embargo, la producción de hijos con presión de malezas estuvo altamente correlacionada con la supresión de malezas y la biomasa, con el rendimiento y la pérdida en rendimiento bajo las densidades usadas en estos experimentos. Rondo está siendo usada actualmente para producción comercial de arroz orgánico en Texas, en parte debido a su alto potencial de rendimiento y a su habilidad de suprimir o tolerar plagas del arroz, incluyendo malezas. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la habilidad de supresión de malezas de Rondo y otras líneas indica evaluadas en estos experimentos es superior a la de muchos cultivares comerciales.
