This study was conducted to evaluate the herbicidal efficacy of flucetosulfuron+pyrazosulfuron-ethyl against Eleocharis kuroguwai and Scirpus planiculmis and to investigate tank-mix of flucetosulfuron + pyrazosulfuron-ethyl with bentazone and 2,4-D to control sulfonylurea resistant Monochoria vaginalis and Scirpus juncoides. In controlling E. kuroguwai, flucetosulfuron + pyrazosulfuron-ethyl showed 75% control, lower than that (95%) of bentazone + MCPA, at 29 DAA (days after application), while at 60 DAA it showed 90%, greater than that of (78%) of bentazone + MCPA, with greater control than penoxsulam at all times. In case of Scirpus planiculmis control, flucetosulfuron + pyrazosulfuron-ethyl showed lower activity than bentazone + MCPA but greater than penoxsulam. Flucetosulfuron + pyrazosulfuron-ethyl showed consistently high activities against Echinochloa crus-galli and E. kuroguwai regardless of soil flooding condition, while penoxsulam and bentazone + cyhalofop showed significantly lower activity in 5 cm flooding condition than 0 cm flooding condition. Flucetosulfuron + pyrazosulfuron-ethyl did not control sulfonylurea resistant Monochoria vaginalis and Scirpus juncoides, while its tank-mix with bentazone or 2,4-D at 2/3 or 1/2-folds of their recommended rates, respectively, provided > 90% control.
