Abstract

Barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crusgalli (L.) Beauv.], duck-salad [Heteranthera limosa (Sw.) Willd.], hemp sesbania [Sesbania exaltata (Raf.) Cory], and northern jointvetch [Aeschynomene virginica (L.) B.S.P.] significantly reduced rice [Oryza sativa L.] yields. Damage to rice increased as populations of barnyardgrass, hemp sesbania, and northern jointvetch increased. Barnyardgrass and duck-salad lowered yields during early season, but hemp sesbania and northern jointvetch decreased yields in late season.
