Effect of Insecticide Seed Treatment on Safening Rice from Reduced Rates of Glyphosate and Imazethapyr

Table 1

Impact of insecticide seed treatment on rice injury 1, 3, and 6 weeks after treatment averaged over reduced rates of imazethapyr (Newpath) and glyphosate (Roundup PowerMax) in 2013 and 2014.

Treatments	Rice injury
	2013						2014
	1 WAT		3 WAT		6 WAT		1 WAT		3 WAT		6 WAT
	%						%	SE	%	SE	%	SE
Nontreated	24	a	37	a	44	a	20	3	13	3	2	1
Treated	14	b	25	B	11	b	5	2	9	2	1	0

Means followed by the same letter are not statistically different according to Fisher’s protected LSD ().
Timings that did not meet the assumptions of ANOVA are reported as means followed by the standard error of the mean (SE).
“Nontreated” means the rice seed received fungicide only and no insecticide seed treatment whereas “treated” means the rice seed was treated with 198 g/45 kg of CruiserMaxx Rice.
