Abstract
In greenhouse tests both butachlor and thiobencarb injured the rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars IR36 and Salumpikit. Depth of seeding altered the tolerance of both cultivars to the herbicides. Planting IR36 3 cm deep and Salumpikit 4 cm deep protected them from herbicide damage. Planting deeper than 4 cm generally resulted in smaller and lighter plants. Seed treatment with 1,8-naphthalic anhydride (NA) at 1% w/w further reduced the phytotoxic effect of the herbicides, especially at shallower planting depths. The plants from the NA-treated seeds were taller and heavier than those from the untreated seeds.
