Abstract:Additive series experiment and curve fits were adopted to study the change of rice yield characters under different densities of Alternanthera philoxeroides. The results showed that with the interference of Alternanthera philoxeroides, the spike length, spike number, 1000-grain weight and grain yield of paddy rice decreased gradually as the weed density increased. The exponential regression model was relatively better for fitting the relationship between Alternanthera philoxeroides density and rice spike length (y=18.145e-0.003x, P<0.001). For spike number, quadratic model (y=0.001x2-0.105x+11.683, P<0.001) is better. But logarithmic model was the best for 1000-grain weight (y=-0.154lnx+20.261, P<0.001), rice yield (y=-582.764lnx+6282.120, P<0.001) and yield loss (y=9.435lnx-1.689, P<0.001). When herbicide fluroxypyr-methyl 20% EC was used to control Alternanthera philoxeroides in paddy fields, the economic infestation level for Alternanthera philoxeroides was 1.40% and the economic threshold was 1.39 plant/m2.
