Abstract

In a 3-year study propanil (3′,4′-dichloropropionanilide) at 6.7 or 9.0 kg/ha was applied postemergence as single or split applications to rice (Oryza sativa L. ‘Starbonnet’ and ‘Nova 66′) 15 to 75 days after crop emergence. The effect on crop injury, maturity, grain yield, and seed and milling quality was measured on rice grown in weed-free plots. Residues of DCA (3,4-dichloroaniline) in grain and straw from treated rice plants and of propanil and TCAB (3,3′,4,4′-tetrachloroazobenzene) in treated soil were determined. Propanil applied at all times and rates in 1968 and 1970 or applied at all rates at 15 to 55 days after crop emergence in 1969 did not reduce grain yields, but 6.7 kg/ha applied 65 and 75 days after crop emergence in 1969 injured rice plants vegetatively and reduced grain yields. Plant maturity, seed viability and milling quality of grain were not affected. Residues of DCA in grain and straw were highest from treatments applied 65 and 75 days after crop emergence; rice straw contained more DCA than did grain.
