Abstract

Organic paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation can be negatively impacted because of the weeds growth like Monochoria vaginalis. Although the rice bran application is useful in combating weed, its performance is not consistent. In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to elucidate the effects of rice bran on the suppression and promotion of germination of M. vaginalis. Suppression experiments involved incubating mixtures of flooded soil and rice bran. This was followed by a germination experiment in the collected soil solutions. A negative and significant correlation was observed between germination and the electric conductivity (EC) of the solution. None of the seeds germinated when the EC of the Gray Lowland soil was over 130 mS m−1. Conversely, the seeds in the Andosols' solution germinated even when EC was over 130 mS m−1. Thus, the solutions of the Andosols had different mechanisms of suppression than the Gray Lowland soils. To understand the promotion of germination, air-dried soil was prepared after the flooded incubation of rice bran and soil mixture, simulating a long-term application of rice bran. Germination was analyzed in a filtrate of the mixture of air-dried soil and distilled water. The addition of rice bran significantly promoted germination. There was a negative and significant correlation between germination and dissolved oxygen (DO) suggesting that hardly decomposable components like antioxidants in rice bran decreased O2 and stimulated germination because the seeds of M. vaginalis require very little O2 for germination.

Abstract

ABSTRACTOrganic paddy rice (Oryza sativaL.) cultivation can be negatively impacted because of the weeds growth like Monochoria vaginalis. Although the rice bran application is useful in combating weed, its performance is not consistent. In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to elucidate the effects of rice bran on the suppression and promotion of germination of M. vaginalis. Suppression experiments involved incubating mixtures of flooded soil and rice bran. This was followed by a germination experiment in the collected soil solutions. A negative and significant correlation was observed between germination and the electric conductivity (EC) of the solution. None of the seeds germinated when the EC of the Gray Lowland soil was over 130 mS m−1. Conversely, the seeds in the Andosols’ solution germinated even when EC was over 130 mS m−1. Thus, the solutions of the Andosols had different mechanisms of suppression than the Gray Lowland soils. To understand the promotion of germination, air-dried soil was prepared after the flooded incubation of rice bran and soil mixture, simulating a long-term application of rice bran. Germination was analyzed in a filtrate of the mixture of air-dried soil and distilled water. The addition of rice bran significantly promoted germination. There was a negative and significant correlation between germination and dissolved oxygen (DO) suggesting that hardly decomposable components like antioxidants in rice bran decreased O2and stimulated germination because the seeds of M. vaginalisrequire very little O2for germination.
