Abstract:

The present study was carried out in the field for two rice growing seasons to evaluate the weed competitiveness of some rice genotypes under the aerobic condition for their suitability of growing in tropical southeastern Asia. The experiments consisted of two (2) weeding regime (weed-free and weedy check) and three aerobic rice genotypes (MRIA1, MR219-4 and MR219-9). Results revealed that weeds had negative impact on rice plants. MR219-9 recorded the lowest weed population including weeds biomass and the maximum of it was recorded in MRIA1 in both seasons. The majority of the weeds were grasses that constituted over 46% of the totaled dominance-ratio. Digitaria horizontalis Willd., Paspalum scrobiculatum L. and Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn were the most dominant weeds in 1st season, while broadleaves highly dominated the weeds flora constituted more than 48% of the totaled dominance-ratio with Cleome rutidosperma DC., Ageratum houstonianum Mill. and Mimosa pudica L. were the most dominant weeds in the 2nd season. When compared with other genotypes, MRIA1 with features of tall plant height, few tillers, less growth period competed poorly with weeds than other genotypes (MR219-4 and MR219-9) with shorter plants, many tillers and long growth duration. Lower weed biomass, higher weed competitive index and comparable loss of yield recorded in MR219-9 showed its greater ability of weed suppression and tolerance. The results of this study, therefore, concluded that MR219-9 is the most competitive genotype against weeds in aerobic condition.
