Performance of Carbon-Coated Rice Seed on Flooded Soil
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Pelleting rice (Oryza sativa L., ‘IR8′) seeds with activated carbon was developed as a means of overcoming herbicide phytotoxicity to direct-seeded, flooded rice. Field and greenhouse experiments showed that pregerminated rice seeds coated three times with activated carbon with 50% polyvinyl acetate as an adhesive, were adequately protected from the injurious effects of chloramben (3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid), butachlor [N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-2′,6′-diethylacetanilide] and oxadiazon [2-tert-butyl-4-(2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxyphenyl)-Δ2-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-one]. The performance of carbon-coated rice seeds in flooded soil, however, was dependent on time of flooding, method and rate of sowing, rate and time of herbicide application, and quality of activated carbon.
