Ecological traits of weedy rice (padi angin) in direct seeded rice fields in Malaysia and control strategy.

Country
Malaysia

Description

[Synopsis]

In Malaysia, weedy rice (Oryza sativa L., locally designate d as “padi angin”) induces crop losses by reducing the yield and quality of commercial rice. Weedy rice plants showed a wide variation in their morphology and in some ecological weedy traits such as easy grain shattering and seed dormancy, indicating that integrated control measures based on ecological methods should be applied to overcome the problems.
