Field research was conducted in Arkansas to determine the effect of selected rice pesticides on the microbial herbicideColletotrichum gloeosporioides(Penz.) Sacc. f. sp.aeschynomene(henceforth designated C.g.a.) and to integrate C.g.a. into control programs for northern jointvetch [Aeschynomene virginica(L.) B.S.P. # AESVI] in rice (Oryza sativaL.). Water suspensions of dry-formulated spores of C.g.a. at 1.9 × 1011spores/ha were applied midseason in sequence with normal use rates of other pesticides. Carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methyl-carbamate) at 0.56 kg ai/ha, propanil (3’4’-dichloropropio-anilide) at 2.2 kg ai/ha, acifluorfen {5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid} at 0.14 kg ai/ha, or fentin hydroxide (triphenyltin hydroxide) at 0.56 kg ai/ha did not reduce disease development of C.g.a. on northern jointvetch. Sequential applications of benomyl [methyl 1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate] at 0.56 kg ai/ha reduced activity of the fungus on northern jointvetch when fungicide applications began 1 week after C.g.a. application but had no effect on mycoherbicide activity when applications began 2 weeks after C.g.a.

An indigenous, host-specific, pathogenic fungus that parasitizes winged waterprimrose [Jussiaea decurrens(Walt.) DC.] is endemic in the rice growing region of Arkansas. The fungus was isolated and identified asColletotrichum gloeosporioides(Penz.) Sacc. f.sp. jussiaeae(CGJ). It is highly specific for parasitism of winged waterprimrose and not parasitic on creeping waterprimrose (J. repensL. var.glabrescensKtze.), rice (Oryza sativaL.), soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr.], cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL.), or 4 other crops and 13 other weeds. The fungus was physiologically distinct from C.gloeosporioides(Penz.) Sacc. f. sp.aeschynomene(CGA), an endemic anthracnose pathogen of northern jointvetch[Aeschynomene virginica(L.) B.S.P.], as indicated by cross inoculations of both weeds. Culture in the laboratory and inoculation of winged waterprimrose in greenhouse, growth chamber and field experiments indicated that the pathogen was stable, specific, and virulent in a wide range of environments. The pathogen yielded large quantities of spores in liquid culture. It is suitable for control of winged waterprimrose. Winged waterprimrose and northern jointvetch were controlled in greenhouse and field tests by application of spore mixtures of CGJ and CGA at concentrations of 1 to 2 million spores/ml of each fungus in 94 L/ha of water; the fungi did not damage rice or nontarget crops.

The parameters developed in organic farming are the use of vegetable pesticides and compost and liquid organic fertilizer. Some research has been done but it needs deeper research to get the right product. The purpose of this study was to determine the inhibitory activity of Piper caninum extract against the fungus Pyricuaria oryzae causing blast disease in rice, and to find out how much the impact of compost on increased crop yield after being combined with the extract. This research is a field research located in the village of Senganan, Penebel Tabanan Bali. With the following treatment Fo = control (100% soil). F1 = (soil 90% + compost 10% + extract 0.5%). F2 = (soil 80% + compost 20% + extract 1%) F3 = (soil 70% + 30% + extract 1.5%). F4 = (soil 60% + compost 40% + 2% extract), do repeat 4 times. The results showed that P. caninum extract effectively inhibited blast disease and could reduce the intensity of blast disease. The combination with compost can significantly increase yields (67.62%), reduce empty grains, and increase rice size.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the research was to studied the application of gliricidia MOL on the growth and yield of lowland rice in the salibu method, and to get the best concentration of gliricidia liquid organic fertilizer  (POC) on the growth and production of lowland rice. Field research has been conducted in Tababo Village, Subdistrict of Belang, district of Southeast Minahasa. The treatment in the experiment consists of one treatment factor, that were concentrations of gliricidia POC, ie  : 0, 50 , 100, 150, and 200 ml/litre. The results showed that gliricidia POC  have an effect on plant height, the number of  grain/panicle, and the dry grain yield (GKP) / plot, but not affect the number of productive tillers and weight of 1,000 grain. The best results were achieved in gliricidia POC concentration 200 ml/litre  with the highest values were: plant height was 98.93 cm; 116.420 grain/panicle; and 8.300 kg dry grain yield or equivalent to 6.92 ton/ha.Keywords : gliricidia POC, production, lowland rice,  salibu method

In 1998 to 2001, a commercial rice (Oryza sativa) paddy field (area: ca. 0.14 ha) was surveyed for Rhizoctonia oryzae and R. oryzae-sativae, causal agents of bordered sheath spot and brown sclerotium disease of rice plants, respectively, to determine their survival in soil and stubble during the pretransplanting season, and the effect on disease development during the maturation season of rice. Then, infection by these fungi of weeds belonging to 17 families, which grew in the four neighboring fields, was examined during rice growing seasons. All field isolates of the fungi from soil, stubble, rice sclerotial disease lesions (diseased tissues), and weeds were assorted into mycelial compatibility groups (MCGs) based on the barrage zone reaction of paired isolates. In R. oryzae, 3 to 8 MCGs were annually found from soil/stubble, 2 to 4 MCGs from rice bordered sheath spot lesions, and 4 to 9 MCGs from 4 to 14 weeds. MCGs common to both soil/stubble and diseased tissues, soil/stubble and weeds, and diseased tissues and weeds numbered 1 to 2 in all cases. In R. oryzae-sativae, MCGs common to both soil/stubble and brown sclerotium disease lesions, and soil/stubble and weeds, numbered 1 to 4 and 0 to 5, respectively. In R. oryzae and R. oryzae-sativae, a few MCGs were common to soil/stubble, diseased tissues and weeds, and some were also common to diseased tissues in 1998 and soil/stubble in 1999, or weed in 1998 and diseased tissues in 1999. Members belonging to a single MCG from rice diseased tissues were detected from maximally five weeds growing in the neighboring fields. These results indicate that fungi that had caused sclerotial diseases at the maturation stage of rice plants survived on and in soil and stubble until the pretransplanting season of the next year, followed by wide dispersal in and out of fields and by infection and disease development on rice plants and various weeds.

Field research was conducted in 1988 and 1989 to compare effects of clethodim, fenoxaprop, haloxyfop, and sethoxydim each applied singly and sequentially at full (1X) and reduced (0.5X) rates on barnyardgrass, bearded sprangletop, and rice. A tank-mixture of propanil plus thiobencarb (2.2 + 2.2 kg ha–1) applied sequentially was included as a standard treatment. Control of barnyardgrass and bearded sprangletop was equal to that of the standard treatment both years with 1X rates of clethodim and fenoxaprop, and with 0.5X rates of clethodim, fenoxaprop, and sethoxydim each applied after propanil; rice so treated produced high grain yields. In 1988, severe rice injury occurred after the second application of clethodim at the 0.5X rate, but rice recovered. Grass control costs were reduced 57% with a single application of fenoxaprop at the 1X rate compared with the standard treatment, but net returns were not different.
