Rice By-Products Reduce Seed and Seedlings Survival of <i>Echinochloa crus-galli</i>, <i>Leptochloa chinensis</i> and <i>Fymbristylis miliacea</i>

Extracting allelochemicals from rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i>) straw and use for weed management is more sustainable than burning and reduces herbicide dependence. Water soluble compounds were extracted from shoots and roots of OM 5930, generating both a crystallized by-product and liquid ex...

description Extracting allelochemicals from rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i>) straw and use for weed management is more sustainable than burning and reduces herbicide dependence. Water soluble compounds were extracted from shoots and roots of OM 5930, generating both a crystallized by-product and liquid extract. Crystallized product was applied to soil with pre-germinated barnyardgrass (<i>Echinochloa crus-galli</i> L. Beauv), red sprangletop (<i>Leptochloa chinensis</i> L. Nees), and grass-like fimbry (<i>Fimbristylis miliacea</i> L. Vahl) seeds. As little as 9.4 g per pot (1 ton ha<sup>−1</sup> biomass) reduced survival of all species, with the order of sensitivity barnyardgrass (BG) < red sprangletop (RS) < grasslike-fimbry (GF). Increased rates or time of exposure (3 to 42 days after treatment; DAT) resulted in a stepwise reduction in seed survival. Using liquid extract, 5.33 g pot<sup>−1</sup> (3 tons ha<sup>−1</sup> biomass) reduced BG survival by 49.8%, while 2.67 g pot<sup>−1</sup> reduced survival of RS and GF by 49.7 and 54.3%, respectively at 42 DAT. A rate of 8 g pot<sup>−1</sup> reduced survival of BG seedlings by 78.3% but was lethal to RS and GF seedlings. The most abundant allelochemicals present were ergosterol peroxide, <i>p</i>-coumaric acid, and salicylic acid. OM 5930 rice is a promising variety for extraction of allelopathic compounds and application for extended herbicidal activity.
