SINGLE HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS (AFTER PLANTING)
A.
BENSULFURON
0.06 lb a.i.
(Londax)
1.66 oz
24
80
RESISTANCE: some populations of smallflower umbrella sedge, ricefield bulrush, California arrowhead, redstem
RESIDUAL: 35–40
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 2 (sulfonylurea: ALS inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: early: 1–3 lsr, later: 4 lsr to 1–2 til
MODE OF APPLICATION: early: into water, later: water receded to 70% exposed foliage
COMMENTS: Provides grass suppression while controlling numerous broadleaves, including ducksalad. Provides residual activity up to 40 days and can be tank-mixed with several other herbicides to increase weed control spectrum. Apply into static water to prevent movement of the herbicide and loss of weed control. Areas most likely to lose weed control following the application of this herbicide are in uppermost basins or around rice boxes where water has been allowed to flow. Water depth is less important than holding the water static. If water depth subsides before 5 days, water can be added but some loss of weed control may occur where water movement is greatest. If rice is poorly rooted because of wind or other damage, allow it ample time to anchor before using bensulfuron, otherwise rice root development may be delayed. May be applied as a spray solution or as a direct dry flowable product. Sprays are applied with conventional booms and the dry flowable formulation by precision low volume metering equipment, both by aircraft. Do not use on wild rice.
B.
BISPYRIBAC-SODIUM

RESISTANCE: some populations of barnyardgrass, watergrasses, ricefield bulrush, California Arrowhead
RESIDUAL: 0 days
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 2 (pyridinyl-thiobenzoates: ALS inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: early: 4 lsr, later: to 1st til
MODE OF APPLICATION: early: drained but wet field, later: water receded to 70% exposed foliage
COMMENTS: Controls wide spectrum, including watergrass, ricefield bulrush, California arrowhead, ducksalad, and waterhyssop, but not smallflower umbrella sedge. High rate is needed for control of resistant late watergrass.
C.
CARFENTRAZONE-ETHYL
0.1–0.19 lb a.i.
(Shark H2O)
4–7.6 oz (see comments)
12
60
RESISTANCE: no
RESIDUAL: 5–8 days
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 14 (triazolinone: PPO inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: 2–4 lsr or 20–45 days postseeding depending on floodwater coverage of weeds
MODE OF APPLICATION: into water (either when weeds are submerged or 80% of weed foliage exposed)
COMMENTS: Controls broadleaf weeds and sedges; can be used where bensulfuron (Londax), halosulfuron (Sandea), orthosulfamuron (Strada CA), or propanil resistance occurs. Can be tank-mixed with herbicides that control grasses. Hold the water at a static depth for at least 5 days after application. Once field is flooded, water must be held for at least 23 days after application before water is released. Only ground application allowed in pinpoint flooded fields. Direct-dry application or direct-stream application recommended to prevent drift to other crops. Direct-dry application by fixed wing aircraft registered under two Special Local Needs labels (wild rice: EPA SLN No. CA-050007, other rice: EPA SLN No. CA-020007). Direct stream application by helicopter or ground registered under a Special Local Needs Label (EPA SLN No. CA-020008). Application rate for aerial-applied carfentrazone is 4–7.5 oz for wild rice and 7.5 oz for other rice.
D.
CLOMAZONE
0.4–0.6 lb a.i.
(Cerano 5 MEG)
8–12 lb (see comments)
12
120
RESISTANCE: some populations of barnyardgrass, watergrasses, sprangletop
RESIDUAL: 5 days in water
MODE OF ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 13 (isoxazolidinone: deoxy-D-xylulose phosphate inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: preseeding to l lsr
MODE OF APPLICATION: into water
COMMENTS: Different mode of action from other herbicides currently registered for use in rice; controls watergrass populations that are resistant to other herbicides and helps prevent the increase of such resistance. Reduced rate of 8 lb per acre may be used to control sprangletop and in certain soil types (see label for more information). May cause cosmetic injury to rice (bleaching, stunting, reduction in stand density), but no significant yield reductions have been observed.
E.
COPPER SULFATE PENTAHYDRATE
(Copper Sulfate Crystals)#
Freshwater algae: 6.8–13.6 lb
Other algae: 2.72–5.44 lb
48
—
APPLICATION TIMING: see comments
MODE OF APPLICATION: into water
COMMENTS: Apply higher rate in deeper water (6-inch depth or greater). Best results are obtained when very fine granules or crystals are dropped into the floodwater; or when the copper sulfate is dissolved in water and sprayed. Apply treatments as the algae forms on the soil surface and organic matter and air pockets are beginning to form under the algae (causing it to start to rise to the surface of the water and float). Once the algae have floated to the surface and formed large mats, control is very difficult. Fields irrigated from wells often have algae problems and should be watched carefully. Hard water (excess carbonate) will tend to negate the effects of copper sulfate. Copper sulfate rates of 6.8 to 13.6 lb with 48-hour water-holding period for control of freshwater algae is allowed under a Special Local Needs label (EPA SLN No. CA-130013), which expires December 31, 2023.

12
60
RESISTANCE: some populations of barnyardgrass, watergrasses, and sprangletop
RESIDUAL: 0 days
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 1 (aryloxyphenoxy-propionate: ACCase inhibitors)
APPLICATION TIMING: early: 1–2 lsr; later: 3 lsr to mid til
MODE OF APPLICATION: early: drained field, later: water receded to 70% exposed foliage
COMMENTS: Used for grass control in situations where thiobencarb (Abolish/Bolero) cannot be used because of delayed phytotoxicity syndrome. Effective on susceptible watergrass and sprangletop. Safe to rice crop. Ground application is required in some areas because of sensitivity of fruit trees. Use low rate on grasses that have up to four leaves, before tillering. Use high rate on tillered grasses.

MODE OF ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 4 (pyridine-carboxylate: auxin mimic)
APPLICATION TIMING: 2-leaf stage to 60 days before harvest
MODE OF APPLICATION: into water, foliar spray (70% of weed foliage exposed)
COMMENTS: Florpyrauxifen-benzyl controls broadleaf weeds and sedges; it suppresses watergrass and barnyardgrass with no activity on sprangletop. Florpyrauxifen-benzyl can be applied twice in the growing season but not to exceed 2.66 pints per acre.
H.
HALOSULFURON
0.031–0.062 lb a.i.
(Sandea)
0.67–1.33 oz
12
69
RESISTANCE: some populations of smallflower umbrella sedge, ricefield bulrush, California arrowhead, redstem
RESIDUAL: 35–40 days
MODE OF ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 2 (sulfonylurea: ALS inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: 1–2 (dry broadcast) or 3–5 lsr (foliar application)
MODE OF APPLICATION: into water, foliar spray (70 to 80% of weed foliage exposed), or dry broadcast
COMMENTS: Halosulfuron controls broadleaf and sedge weeds. It can cause rice stunting; however, plants usually recover from these symptoms.
I.
ORTHOSULFAMURON
0.053–0.065 lb a.i.
(Strada)
1.7–2.1 oz
12
—
RESISTANCE: some populations of smallflower umbrella sedge, ricefield bulrush, California arrowhead, redstem
RESIDUAL: 25 days
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 2 (sulfonylurea: ALS inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: 2 to 4 lsr
MODE OF APPLICATION: foliar, early postemergence to preflood (dry-seeded rice), early postemergence or middle-to-late postemergence (at least 70% of weed foliage exposed)
COMMENTS: Orthosulfamuron controls broadleaf and sedge weeds. It is particularly effective on Monochoria. It can cause some rice stunting; however, plants usually recover from these symptoms.
J.
PENDIMETHALIN
0.71–0.95 lb a.i.
(Prowl H2O)
1.5–2 pt (see comments)
24
—
RESISTANCE: no
RESIDUAL: 20 days (dry soil); 5 days (water)
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 3 (dinitroaniline: microtubule assembly inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: 0 or 4–6 lsr
MODE OF APPLICATION: drained field (dry top layer of soil)
COMMENTS: Prowl H2O is generally used in direct-seeded rice. It can be used before or after the initial flush of water but apply it prior to the emergence weeds. Its efficacy is during the germination period of seeds, and therefore it will not control established weeds. Rice is relatively tolerant to Prowl H2O once it has imbibed sufficient moisture for germination. Activity of Prowl H2O diminishes with additional water flushes and degrades quickly with flooding. See label for specific rates based on soil type. Not for use on grain-drilled, dry-seeded rice in California.
K.
PENOXSULAM
0.036–0.044 lb a.i. (Granite GR)
0.031–0.043 lb a.i. (Granite SC)
(Granite GR)
15–18.5 lb
12
60
(Granite SC)
2–2.8 fl oz
12
60
RESISTANCE: some populations of barnyardgrass and watergrasses, ricefield bulrush, redstem, and California arrowhead
RESIDUAL: 35–40 days
MODE OF ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 2 (triazolopyrimidine: ALS inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: Granite GR: after 2.5 lsr; Granite SC: 4 lsr to 60 days before harvest
MODE OF APPLICATION: into water or foliar
COMMENTS: Granite GR (granular formulation) will control many weed species. It tends to stunt early root growth of rice. Granite SC (liquid suspension formulation) is generally applied on foliage at later stages of rice growth when floodwater is dropped for good exposure of weeds. Since Granite SC is usually applied later, it causes less phytotoxicity to the rice plant. Do not use on wild rice.
L.
PROPANIL*
3–6 lb a.i.
(Stam 80 EDF-CA)
3.75–7.5 lb
24

—
RESISTANCE: Some populations of barnyardgrass, early and late watergrass, bulrush and smallflower umbrella sedge
RESIDUAL: 0 days
MODE OF ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 5 (amide: photosystem II inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: Stam 80 EDF-CA = early: from 3 lsr; SUPERWHAM! CA = later: to mid-tiller
MODE OF APPLICATION: Stam 80 EDF-CA = early: drained field; SUPERWHAM! CA = later: water receded to 70% exposed foliage
COMMENTS: A contact herbicide that controls an array of weeds such as watergrass, barnyardgrass, sedges, while suppressing sprangletop and other broadleaf weeds. Early treatments control watergrass more effectively; however, application generally must be delayed 35 to 50 days after seeding to control emerged broadleaf weeds. This allows adequate time for broadleaf weeds to develop sufficient foliage. If earlier watergrass control is desired under these conditions, a postplant treatment of thiobencarb is recommended. Can be applied by either ground or air in 10 to 15 gallons of water. Use higher volume to get better coverage and control of large grasses or dense weed populations. Use the low rate on young watergrass (30–35 days after seeding) in very shallow water to assure good coverage of the weed. Use the high rate when most watergrass is 6 to 9 inches above the water. Leaf injury (tip burn) may occur on rice when the temperature is above 85° to 90°F at the time of the application. Do not use propanil within 14 days of an application of a carbamate (such as carbaryl) or organophosphate (such as malathion). (Exception: Low dosages of insecticide as used for mosquito larva control in rice fields may be applied 5 days before or after application of propanil.)

—
(Bolero UltraMax)
23.3 lb
12
—
RESISTANCE: some populations of barnyardgrass, watergrasses and smallflower umbrella sedge
RESIDUAL: 25 days
MODE OF ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 15 (thiocarbamate: lipid synthesis inhibitor)
MODE OF APPLICATION: Abolish 8 EC = drained field; Bolero UltraMax = applied in water
COMMENTS: Mostly used for grass control but also provides some control of smallflower umbrella sedge and selected broadleaf weeds. Abolish may be applied preflood to fields that are immediately flooded, however, the effective residual period after flooding is considerably short. Both Abolish 8 EC and Bolero UltraMax may be applied after the crop has emerged, but the window for rice safety and weed control is very narrow. Because timing of thiobencarb to weeds and rice is so important, the following situations should be avoided: fields that take longer than 5 days to flood and fields with greater than 0.2-foot fall to avoid deep-water stress. Use caution when using dry coated seed because it delays germination, which narrows the application window by allowing watergrass to become too large while rice is still in the sensitive stage. Make postplant application when 70% of the rice seedlings have reached the 2-leaf stage. Rice is very sensitive to these formulations at the one-leaf stage and may be severely injured if it is applied too early. Thiobencarb provides residual activity of about 25 days. It will not be effective on watergrass or barnyardgrass beyond the 3-leaf stage. Do not use within 14 days of an application of a carbamate (such as carbaryl) or organophosphate (such as malathion). Note: Check with agricultural commissioner for water-holding requirements following all thiobencarb applications. Do not make more than one application per year.

48
60
RESISTANCE: no
RESIDUAL: 0 days
MODE OF ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 4 (pyridyloxy-carboxylates: auxin mimic)
APPLICATION TIMING: early: from 1st til, later: to max. til
MODE OF APPLICATION: early: drained field, later: water receded to 70% exposed foliage
COMMENTS: Used for ricefield bulrush, redstem, and waterhyssop; is not effective for grass control. Apply by air or ground; weeds should be actively growing at time of treatment and well above the water surface. A translocated herbicide that requires that only 70% of the weed foliage be exposed for adequate spray coverage. Consult your county agricultural commissioner for current water management restrictions. If the water level is dropped to expose weeds before treatment, do not raise the water level for at least 48 hours after application. Do not make more than two applications per season and allow at least 20 days between applications. May be tank mixed with propanil. Do not allow drift to sensitive crops. See label for other restrictions.
HERBICIDE TANK MIXES and PREMIXES
Note: If resistance to barnyardgrass or watergrasses is suspected in a field, avoid combinations or sequences of herbicides with mode-of-action group numbers 1, 2, 8, and 13 (1 = cyhalofop [Clincher CA]; 2 = penoxsulam [Granite], bensulfuron [Londax], bispyribac [Regiment CA], halosulfuron [Sandea]; 8= thiobencarb [Abolish 8 EC, Bolero]; and 13 = clomazone [Cerano 5 MEG]). For all tank mixes, observe all directions for use on all labels, and employ the most restrictive limits and precautions. Never exceed the maximum a.i. on any label.

(Butte)
7.5–9 lb
12
82
RESISTANCE: No resistant weeds for benzobicyclon for were reported in California.
RESIDUAL: Benzobicyclon = 14 days, halosulfuron = 30 days
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBERS1: 27 (triketone: hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor, HPPD) plus 2 (sulfonylurea: ALS inhibitor)
MODE OF APPLICATION: Benzobicyclon, the major component of the formulation, is a pro-herbicide and the formulated product must be applied into flooded fields to allow for conversion to the herbicidal active ingredient. Application to dry soils will provide minimal weed control. Average water depth at application should be a minimum of 4 inches with no bare soil.
APPLICATION TIMING: Apply at day of seeding to 4 true leaf rice, however, weed control efficacy can be significantly reduced at 4 true leaf rice stage
COMMENTS: Butte can only be used in rice that will be followed by rice the following year. Do not make more than one application or apply more than 9 lb of Butte (0.27 lb a.i. Benzobicyclon) and (0.058 lb Halosulfuron-methyl) per annual growing season. Minimum water hold period for Butte is twenty (20) days.

COMMENTS: Controls broadleaf weeds; can be used where bensulfuron (Londax) resistance occurs. Can be tank mixed with herbicides that control grasses. Hold the water at a static depth for at least 5 days after application. Once field is flooded, water must be held for at least 23 days after application before water is released. Only ground application allowed in pinpoint flooded fields. Direct-dry application or direct-stream application recommended to prevent drift to other crops. Direct-dry application and direct stream application by aircraft is registered under supplemental labels (for DDA by fixed wing aircraft in wild rice, EPA SLN No. CA-050007; for DDA in other rice, EPA SLN No. CA-020007; for DSA in other rice, EPA SLN No. CA-020008). Application rate for aerial-applied carfentrazone is 4 to 7.5 oz for wild rice and 7.5 oz for other rice.

RESISTANCE FOR SEQUENCE: some populations of barnyardgrass, watergrasses, sprangle
RESIDUAL: Shark H2O = 5–8 days; Clincher CA = 0 days
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBERS1: 14 (triazolinone: PPO inhibitor) followed by 1 (aryloxyphenoxy-propionate: ACCase inhibitors)
APPLICATION TIMING: Shark H2O = 2–4 lsr; Clincher CA = 1–3 til
MODE OF APPLICATION: Shark H2O = into water (either when weeds submerged or when 80% of weed foliage exposed); Clincher CA = water receded to 70% exposed weed foliage
COMMENTS: Different mode of action from other herbicides currently registered for use in rice; controls watergrass populations resistant to other herbicides and helps prevent the increase of these resistant populations. May cause cosmetic injury to rice (stunting and reduction in stand density), but no significant yield reductions have been observed.

RESISTANCE FOR SEQUENCE: poor control with resistant populations of California arrowhead and redstem
RESIDUAL: Granite GR = NA; Stam 80 EDF-CA, SUPERWHAM! CA = NA
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBERS1: 2 (triazolopyrimidine: ALS inhibitor) followed by 5 (amide: photosystem II inhibitor)
APPLICATION TIMING: Granite = 3–4 lsr; Stam 80 EDF-CA, SUPERWHAM! CA = 1–3 til
MODE OF APPLICATION: Granite GR = into water; Granite SC = partially drained field (at least 70% of weed foliage exposed); Stam 80 EDF-CA= drained field, SUPERWHAM! CA = water receded to 70% exposed foliage
COMMENTS: If watergrass population is already widely resistant to Granite, this sequence will not protect propanil. Will not control sprangletop unless penoxsulam is mixed with cyhalofop (Clincher CA).

RESISTANCE FOR SEQUENCE: some populations of barnyardgrass, watergrasses, ricefield bulrush, California Arrowhead, only suppression of redstem in a resistant population.
RESIDUAL: Bolero UltraMax = 20-25 days; Regiment CA = 0 days
MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBERS1: 15 (thiocarbamate: lipid synthesis inhibitor) followed by 2 (pyrimidinyl benzoate: ALS inhibitor)
MODE OF APPLICATION: Bolero UltraMax = into water; Stam 80 EDF-CA = drained field, SUPERWHAM! CA = water receded to 70% exposed foliage
COMMENTS: If the populations of barnyardgrass and watergrasses are already widely resistant to Bolero, this sequence will not protect propanil from resistance development. Broad-spectrum and useful for sprangletop.
