Foliar application of methanol influences on growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under different barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) densities

Recent reports indicate that vegetative growth and yield of C3 crops are enhanced by foliar methanol application and that overall crop water use is reduced by methanol sprays. In order to evaluate the effects of methanol and barnyard grass density on rice (Oryza sativa cv. Shiroudi) yield and its co...

In order to evaluate the effects of methanol and barnyard grass density on rice (Oryza sativa cv.

The experiment was carried out as a randomized complete block design with a factorial arrangement in three replicates. Studied factors were aqueous methanol solutions (0, 6, 12, 18 and 24% (v/v)) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) densities (0, 16, 24 and 32 plants m-2). Methanol was sprayed on the foliage of rice three times during its growth period with two-week intervals.
