Abstract
The effect of herbicides for weed control in three upland rice varieties was evaluated in the Nigerian savannah. Among the herbicides evaluated, pretilachlor+dimethametryne at 2.5 kg a.i./ha and piperophos+cinosulfuron at 1.5 kg a.i/ha perfomed well as they effectively controlled weeds and resulted in better growth and grain yield that was comparable to the hoe-weeded control.Among the rice varieties evaluated, WAB 56–50 and FARO 40 performed better than FARO 38 as they resulted in better growth and yield.
