Abstract

Four granular and two liquid herbicides were tested in transplanted winter rice in the Al-Hassa Oasis. Among granular herbicides, benthiocarb-M and butachlor gave better control of weeds with no sustained injury to rice while nitrofen and MO-401 did not perform effectively under local conditions. Both liquid herbicides, propanil and benthiocarb, also provided adequate control of weeds but caused more crop damage than the granular herbicides. More economical control of weeds in transplanted winter rice in Saudi Arabia appears likely with the use of herbicides.
