aMeans for each population within a column followed by the same uppercase letters and means for each herbicide within a row followed by the same lowercase letters are not significantly different according to Fisher’s protected LSD test ( ).
bAll herbicide treatments except bispyribac-sodium contained nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v.
cBispyribac-sodium treatments contained a nonionic spray adjuvant and deposition aid at 2.5% v/v.
