- Abstract
This article focuses on toxicity of thiobencarb to rice. Thiobencarb is an herbicide used to control certain grasses, sedges, and broad leaf weeds in rice fields. It is a systemic, pre-emergence herbicide that acts by inhibiting shoots of emerging seedlings. However, TB can also potentially injure the desired crop. After using TB, rice growers have historically observed dwarfing, dark-green leaves, deformities, excessive tillering, and plant death. These symptoms characterize delayed phytotoxicty syndrome (DPS). In the early 1990s, as northern California rice farmers began to use the granular form of TB they also began to experience DPS.
