  • Publication number: 20210092956
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of reducing injury to rice and achieving weed control by treating the rice with both a safener and a microencapsulated Group 15 herbicide. Herein, the inventors demonstrate that the tolerance of fenclorim-safened rice to the Group 15 herbicide acetochlor is substantially enhanced when this herbicide is applied as a microencapsulated formulation, particularly when it is applied preemergence or delayed preemergence. Rice plants produced by these methods and seeds produced by said rice plants are also provided.
