Weed Phytosociological Survey in Irrigated Rice

Abstract

-The phytosociological method helps evaluate the vegetation composition. The objective of this study was to identify and quantify the main weed species present in irrigated rice. The phytosociological survey was carried out in three mainly rice monoculture, Clearfield ® technology using properties in Itaqui-RS, between 2013 and 2014. For each property and period, a ½ ha representative area was selected and 10 random samples were collected, using a quadrat square of 1 m 2 . The sample colletion was conducted in two periods of time: during the irrigated rice crop initial growth and during the cereal's pre-harvesting phase. All collected plants were identified and counted, allowing for their frequency, relative frequency, density, relative density, abundance, relative abundance, relative importance index and similarity index to be calculated. Eleven weed species belonging to five families were identified. Poaceae and Cyperaceae occurred more frequently. During the initial growth of rice, the Poaceae family presented the largest index of relative importance, mainly to Echinochloa crus-galli, Echinochloa colona and Digitaria horizontalis. Overall, there was a reduction in plant density in the pre-harvest period. However, Echinochloa colona and Oryza sativa occurred in density levels that may interfere with the cereal yield. Aeschynomene denticulata, Cyperus iria and Oryza sativa are not controlled efficiently, indicating possible cases of herbicide resistance. Our conclusions emphasize the importance of correct weed species identification for the management of Echinochloa colona and Cyperus ferax. Integrated management practices are necessary for efficient weed control, avoiding productivity loss in the region's flooded rice fields. Keywords

Prospecção científica e tecnológica com ênfase na atividade anticâncer do óleo essencial de Aeschynomene denticulata

“…Dentre os artigos encontrados com a busca para "Aeschynomene denticulata" na SciELO, identificou-se que um artigo aborda a identificação e quantificação das principais espécies de plantas daninhas presentes no arroz irrigado, sendo entre essa a conhecida popularmente como angiquinho (Nunes;Schaedler;Chiapinotto, 2018). Outro estudo avaliou a habilidade competitiva relativa de cultivares de arroz na presença de um biótipo de angiquinho (A. denticulata) em diferentes proporções substitutivas de plantas na associação (Galon et al, 2015).…”

Morphological Variations of Weedy Rice (Oryza sativa ssp.) In Selected Rice Fields of Peninsular Malaysia

“…According to Karim et al, (2010), weedy rice has been a widespread problem nationwide since the 2000s. Therefore, integrated management practices are necessary to avoid productivity loss in rice fields and for efficient weed control (Nunes et al, 2018).…”

Allelopathic Potential of Rice Cultivars Sowing in Santa Catarina State on Weedy Rice

“…Weedy rice is one of the most frequent weeds and causes the greatest damage to paddy rice fields in Rio Grande do Sul (RS) and Santa Catarina (SC) State, with reduced yield and quality of the harvested product (Nunes et al, 2018). That is why it became important to search for agronomical alternatives that are efficient to suppress or eliminate this problem, and, consequently, maximize grain yield and preserve the industrial and culinary quality of the harvested product.…”
