Red rice (Oryza sativa L. # ORYSA) control in soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] was 93% or more with shallow-incorporated alachlor [2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide] at 3.9 kg ai/ha, metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide] at 2.8 kg ai/ha, and trifluralin [2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenamine] at 1.7 kg ai/ha. Junglerice [Echinochloa colonum (L.) Link. # ECHCO] control was 80% with alachlor but 90% or more with metolachlor and trifluralin when applied at the same rates. Sethoxydim {2-[1-(ethoxyimino)butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} at 560, fluazifop {(±)-2-[4-[[5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl] oxy]phenoxy]propanoic acid} at 280, haloxyfop {2-[4-[[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl] oxy] phenoxy] propanoic acid} at 140, and mefluidide {N-[2,4-dimethyl-5-[[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl] amino] phenyl] acetamide} plus bentazon [3-(1-methylethyl)-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4 (3H)-one 2,2-dioxide] at 140 plus 840 g ai/ha applied postemergence on two- to four-leaf red rice provided at least 87% control. Junglerice control with these treatments was 85% or more with the exception of fluazifop and mefluidide plus bentazon.

Mefluidide {N-[2,4-dimethyl-5-[[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl] amino] phenyl] acetamide}+bentazon [3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide] at 0.14 + 0.84 kg ai/ha was the most injurious of five herbicide treatments applied once to one- to two-leaf red rice (Oryza sativa L. ♯3 ORYSA). The most injurious treatment to five-to six-leaf red rice was DPX Y6202 {ethyl [2-[4-[6-chloro-2-quinoxalinyl]oxy]phenoxy] propionate} at 0.56 kg ai/ha. Two applications, regardless of red rice growth stage, of all treatments except fluazifop {[±]-butyl-2-[4-[[5-trifluoromethyl]-2-pyridinyl] oxy] phenoxy] propanoate} resulted in 86 to 99% injury.
