Ipfencarbazone exhibits excellent herbicidal activity against Echinochloa spp. and is safe for transplanted rice at a dose of 250 g a.i./ha. However, the effect of various environmental factors on its activity has not been verified. The present study evaluated the factors affecting the herbicidal activity of ipfencarbazone against Echinochloa spp. and its phytotoxicity to transplanted rice. The herbicidal activity and phytotoxicity of ipfencarbazone were barely affected by temperature, soil texture, water leakage, or flooding water depth. When an overflow was conducted artificially 6 hr after application, the herbicidal activity was stable. Furthermore, ipfencarbazone completely inhibited the emergence of Echinochloa spp. for 56 days regardless of the soil texture, water leakage and overflow conditions. When the period between application and reflooding was within 24 hr of herbicide application, the phytotoxicity of ipfencarbazone on transplanted rice was slight. These results suggest that ipfencarbazone shows stable efficacy in practical use.
