It was observed that grass weed seedlings had been transplanted with rice seedlings in two farmers' fields in Guimba, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. These were harvested from 50 1-square meter quadrats from areas in both fields where transplanted seedlings were contaminated with weed seedlings and 50 1-square meter quadrats from areas where no weed seedlings had been transplanted. In one field, yield from quadrats where an average of 29% of the hills were infested with Echinochloa glabrescens was 372 g/square meter; in areas where no weed seedlings were transplanted, the yield was 476 g/square meter. In the other field, yield from quadrats where an average 23% of the hills were infested with Echinochloa oryzoides was 434 g/square meter, 18% lower than the 530 g/square meter yield where no infestation was observed. Differences in yield between the weed-infested and weed-free hills were highly significant in both fields
