Characterization Of Multiple-Herbicide-Resistant Echinochloa Colona From Arkansas, Christopher Edward Rouse
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Echinochloa species are highly adaptive weeds that have the potential to impact crops in a variety of environments. This has positioned them as the most problematic weeds in a number of USA cropping systems with some species having the distinction of the 'worst herbicide-resistant weeds' in the world. Recent evidence has positioned Echinochloa colona (junglerice) as the most dominant in Arkansas and throughout the Mid-South, USA, especially in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) production fields. A history of extensive herbicide-use for management and a lack of integrated or diverse approaches to management have led to rampant …

Evaluation Of Provisia Rice In Arkansas Rice Production Systems, Zachary Lancaster
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
With the continued evolution of herbicide resistance, it is becoming more difficult to achieve adequate weed control in Arkansas rice production systems. Thus, new technologies are needed to combat these troublesome weeds. A new non-GMO, herbicide-resistant rice type is under development that is resistant to quizalofop, an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicide that will allow for selective grass weed control in rice. With the commercialization of this technology by 2018, research was conducted to determine the best fit for quizalofop-resistant rice in current production systems. Experiments included evaluation of off-target movement of quizalofop, determination of plant-back risk from quizalofop …
