Abstract:
A planting machine for delivering liquid pesticides to the soil mixing zone preceding the furrow closing mechanism to effectively distribute liquid pesticide throughout soil covering seed in a furrow. The planting machine has a furrow opening mechanism, seed dispensing means, and furrow closing mechanism and includes a seed positioning means mounted on the seed dispensing means for effectively locating seeds in the furrow. Also, the planting machine includes means for liquid pesticide spray delivery mounted thereon so as to direct a spray towards the furrow closing mechanism and into the soil mixing zone being created by the furrow closing mechanism. The means for spray delivery can be mounted on the conventional seed positioning means as well as independently mounted on the planting machine.
The Use Of Safeners To Improve Resistance Of Rice Crop To Herbicides
The subject invention provides a herbicidal mixture for controlling undesired vegetation in the vicinity of an herbicide resistant rice crop, wherein the herbicidal mixture comprises a) an acetyl Co-A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicide or a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibiting herbicide or an acetolactate (acetohydroxy acid) synthase ALS (MIAS) inhibiting herbicides or combinations thereof and b) an herbicide safener selected from isoxadifen, cloquintocet, AD-67, benoxacor and fenclorim, and esters, salts and combinations thereof. The present invention also provides compositions comprising the herbicidal mixtures disclosed herein and methods of controlling undesired vegetation in the vicinity of a rice crop using the herbicidal mixtures and compositions disclosed herein.
