Abstract
Rice is the main food commodity in Indonesia. The decline in rice production each year is caused by the presence of weeds. The most critical period of competition between crops and weeds occurs in 25-33% of the first life cycle of rice plants. High competition at the beginning of the growth phase will suppress growth and reduce rice yields. The presence of weeds in the rice paddy ecosystem needs to be controlled. Chemical weed control is considered more effective than other controls. This study aims to determine the efficacy of herbicide with the active ingredient Butachlor in controlling common weeds in rice cultivation. The experiment was conducted in Plumbon, Cirebon. This research was arranged in a randomized block design with 7 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment consisted of a dose of the Butachlor herbicide with levels: 750; 1000; 1250; 1500; 1750 g ha-1, mechanical, and Control (no weeding). The results show that the herbicide Butachlor at 1250-1750 g ha-1 was effective in controlling common weeds in rice cultivation, namely Monochoria vaginalis, Ludwigia octovalvis, Leptochloa chinensis, Echinochloa crus-galli, Cyperus difformis, and other weeds up to 6 weeks after application without causing phytotoxicity effects on rice plants.
