Only two insecticides will be available. Both give effective control of rice water weevils when applied at the recommended rate and timing. 6.2 F S is labeled for use only as a seed treatment in Arkansas. Table 3 can be used to adjust application rates to compensate for variable seeding rates. ICON does not interact with commonly used herbicides to injure rice such as the Furadan - propanil interaction.
ICON is only available on seed rice which has been treated by registered seed dealers.
ICON must be applied after seed is soaked and drained for at least 4 hours and only by a seed dealer. Herbicide injury to rice seedlings may occur and result in seedling injury and stand loss. The 1999 ICON label also restricts rotation of small grains other than rice for 12 months following planting of ICON treated seed. Root and leafy vegetable crops in rotation are restricted to five and one month, respectively. Production of fish, shellfish, and crustaceans in fields planted with ICON treated seed are also prohibited before rice harvest.
