Abstract:

Both Cyperus difformis and Ammannia baccifera were harmful weeds in rice fields worldwide and caused serious impacts on rice production. In this study, the common rice variety Nanjing 46 in Taihu area was selected as the material. The single factor experiment design was used to design five weed densities and four groups of repetitions. To investigate the effects of different densities of C. difformis and A. baccifera on rice yield, rice processing, and appearance quality and seed nitrogen accumulation. The results showed that the effective panicle number, grain number per panicle, 1 000-grain weight and yield of rice gradually decreased with the increase of density of C. difformis and A. baccifera, the seed nitrogen accumulation, processing and appearance quality of rice also decreased. When the density of C. difformis was 65 plants·m-2, the yield of rice was 3.28 t·hm-2, and the yield loss rate was 57.29% compared with the blank control. The rice processing and appearance quality were significantly decreased. When the density of A. baccifera was 250 plants·m-2, the yield of rice was 3.10 t·hm-2, and the yield loss rate was 59.16% compared with the blank control. Rice processing and appearance quality decreased significantly. Increasing density of C. difformis and A. baccifera could significantly reduce rice yield, processing quality and appearance quality. The results showed that weeds mainly affected rice yield by affecting the effective panicle number, grain number per panicle and 1 000-grain weight of rice, and field microclimate, water and fertilizer competition may be an important reason for affecting rice processing and appearance quality. In order to ensure rice yield, rice processing and appearance quality, attention should be paid to the prevention and control of weeds in the middle and lower layers of rice fields.

Key words: weed density, rice yield, processing quality, appearance quality
