Is your Barnyard grass really necessary? (1969)

IREC

1969

This question was asked by Mr D. J, Swain, Research Agronomist, (Weeds), Yanco Agricultural College & Research Station.  The day is past when barnyard grass was considered an unavoidable evil in rice growing, any rice grower who has a grass-infested rice crop this season has only himself to blame.  Two effective herbicides are at present available for the control of barnyard grass in rice.  One of these, propanil, sold as "Stam F-34", R has been available for the past six years. The other, molinate, sold as "Ordram", R was first available in the 1966-67 season.
