Allelopathy of Bangladeshi Rice: Application in the Agricultural Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Allelopathy

Abstract

Rice is the staple food of Bangladesh and about 80 % of agricultural land is used for its production. However, rice production rate is less than 50 % of the world average. Severe weed infestation is one of the major reasons for such low yield. Hand weeding is the most commonly used weed control method in Bangladesh. The allelopathic activity of 102 Bangladeshi rice cultivars (60 traditional and 42 high yielding) was evaluated as part of a strategy for the weed management. Among them, high yielding rice cultivar, BR17 and traditional rice cultivar, Kartikshail marked the greatest inhibitory activity. Main allelochemical in BR 17 was identified as 9-hydroxy-4-megastigmen-3-one. Two main allelochemicals in Kartikshail were 3-hydroxy-β-ionone and 9-hydroxy-4-megastigmen-3-one. Thus, Bangladeshi rice cultivars, BR17 and Kartikshail, may be potentially useful for weed management as weed suppressing agents when these rice cultivars are incorporated into the soil or included in rice-based cropping systems.
