Abstract

Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is a globally important oil crop.In China, over 80% of production occurs in the Yangtze River Basin, where rice-rapeseed rotation is widely practiced.Effective weed control in rice can be achieved by planting imidazolinone (IMI)-tolerant rice and applying IMI herbicides.However, the strong residual activity of IMI in soil frequently causes herbicide carryover, severely damaging subsequent nontolerant crops, especially rapeseed.The long half-lives of several IMI herbicides, particularly imazethapyr (IMZT) with high carryover potential, make IMI-tolerant rapeseed urgently needed for rotation systems.
