The SFW of R biotype (Kedah-SB8) was significantly (Pless than 0.001) reduced (90%) by the combined effect of recommended field use rates propanil + quinclorac and quinclorac + cyhalofop- butyl. Recommended rates of propanil combined with cyhalofop-butyl also showed great potential to reduce SFW in the R biotype (Table 6).
