  Rice (Oryzae sativa L.) is by far the most important stable food crop for over half of the world population for both developing and developed nations, where its consumption has increased considerably due to food diversification and its calorie demand. However, its productivity and quality are highly limited by the occurrence of diseases, insect pests and high weed infestations. Weeds can reduce rice yield by over 30% and this makes farmers to incur 70% of their cost to manage it because of the availability of ample moisture with in the rice field and long period of infestation. The objective of this study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of broadleaf and grass weed targeted herbicides of upland rice and recommend the most effective ones. An experiment was conducted at Fogera National Rice Research and Training Center experimental station for two .. View more»
