Control of Rice Water Weevil with NTN 33893, 1992

The experiment was conducted at the TAMU Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Beaumont and used RCBD with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Plot size was 14 ft × 10 ft. All plots were broadcast planted to a dry seed bed on 6 May at 120 lb seed per acre. Designated plots were sown with seed treated with NTN 33893 at 3 oz (AI)/cwt. Gustafson, Inc. treated the seed. Plots were cultipacked to help cover seed. Plots were flushed and drained as needed until application of the permanent flood on 3 Jun (21 d after rice emergence). Plots were fertilized at planting with urea at 140 lb N/acre. On 21 May plots were treated with propanil at 3 lb (AI)/acre, thiobencarb at 2 lb (AI)/acre, and bentazon at 0.75 lb (AI)/acre. Furadan 3G was applied to designated plots at 0.6 lb (AI)/acre using a hand-held shaker.
