Abstract
Cultural methods for controlling weeds have been used since the beginning of systematic rice production and remain an integral part of successful weed management programs. Cultural methods aid not only in suppressing weed growth but may be equally beneficial in enhancing rice seedling establishment and growth. Intensively farmed rice fields are areas of medium to high disturbance and low stress to achieve maximum yields. Disturbance may be viewed as partial or total elimination of the weed biomass, while stress functions to reduce photosynthesis or productivity of the crop. Weeds are plants that can adapt to areas of high disturbance and/or high stress and plague the grower, regardless of the weed management program employed. The selection of the methods used to control rice weed problems depends on the type of rice culture, the technology available, and the resources of the grower. The selection of weed management inputs should emphasize maximum returns to the grower with the lowest cost.
