 The Framework for Weed Control Programs in California Rice
Weed resistance to the herbicides used in California rice is a relatively new event.
Records of weeds (complete with field maps) coupled with good documentation of management and herbicide practices provide very useful information about the buildup of certain weed species, weed resistance and other aspects related to weed control (such as whether or not the weed infestations are related to field operations–field equipment, etc.).
However, in addition to the weed spectrum, it is important to know how the herbicide is taken up by the weed, if it is translocated in the plant, the range of application timings for weed control and crop safety, if the herbicide has residual activity and whether or not the weeds are resistant.
