Integration of methods to prevent, decrease, and maintain
weed population densities below critical levels.

Preventive
Regulatory Actions
Use of legislation/ rules to prevent the non-native species
from entering the country
Ex. Quarantine Laws; Use of certified seeds (97% pure);
rouging off-types during mid-season to prevent crosspollination,
RA 9271. Quarantine Act of 2004
Preventive
Rouging off-types during mid-season to prevent cross
pollination.
Cleaning off equipment;
Weed identification
field assessments/surveys
Preventing vegetative spread of perennials
Mechanical Methods
Handweeding
Hoeing
Tillage or cultivation
Mowing
Flooding, dredging, draining
Physical methods
Use some physical components of the environment such
as temperature, humidity, or light to the detriment of
weeds
Ex.
1. Heat
2. Mulcing
Physical methods
Heat
- flaming (rice hull burning)
- Solarization- drying through exposure to sunlight
Physical methods
Mulching
Prevents weed growth, increase soil temperature
- Materials: rice straw, hay, paper, and plastic
Cultural or Agro-ecological
Indirect control methods
Environmental modification or changes in crop production
practices that enhance crop volume and reduces weed
growth.
Cultural or Agro-ecological
Crop competition
- Make crops more competitive than weeds (planting
methods such as transplanting, spacing)
- Transplanted: rice has 20-day headstart than weeds;
lesser competition.
- Direct seeded- rice and weeds germinate at the same
time; greater competition.
Cultural or Agro-ecological
Water management
Flooding
- Supressses weed growth by depriving plant with the
needed oxygen (hypoxia)
- Proper timing and optimum level of water in lowland rice
will inhibit the establishment of weeds.
Cultural or Agro-ecological
Herbicide Classification
Based on time of application
- Preplant- applied before the crop is seeded or
transplanted.
- Foliar- applied before planting (glyphosate, paraquat)
- Soil incorporated
Herbicide Classification
Herbicide Classification
Soil applied- recommended on prepalnt on pre-emergence
Herbicide Classification
Herbicide Classification
Based on selectivity
