The field trials were conducted at two localities during 2013 and 2014 to evaluate different POST herbicide programs for effective E. crus-galli control in rice production regions in the Republic of Macedonia. Herbicide selectivity and influence on grain yield were evaluated, as well. Herbicides were applied in 3 POST herbicide programs: earlypostemergence (EPOST), mid-postemergence (MPOST) and late-postemergence (LPOST). E. crus-galli control differed among POST herbicides, herbicide programs, and DAT. In Kočani locality E. crus-galli control across POST herbicide programs was 95 to 92% at EPOST and MPOST treatments at 14 DAT, and 99 to 98% at 28 DAT, respectively. Significantly, lower efficacy was provided in LPOST treatment (87% and 83%) at both estimation periods. E. crusgalli control across POST herbicide programs in Vinica locality was similar as in Kočani locality. 14 DAT efficacy was ranged between 97 and 93% at EPOST and MPOST treatments, and 28 DAT efficacy was ranged between 99 and 97% at same POST treatments, respectively. Significantly lower efficacy was provided in LPOST treatment (82% and 81%, 14 and 28 DAT, respectively). In both localities all EPOST and MPOST applied herbicides resulted in rice yield which was not statistically different from rice yield in the weed-free control. Because each LPOST herbicide provided lower E. crus-galli control, and caused rice injury, there was significant yield reduction in all plots treated with LPOST herbicides.
