Rogue® SC Herbicide: Best Management Practices and Herbicide Programs for Successful Weed Control in Southern Rice

Presented by:  Lance Schmidt, Technical Service Representative, Gowan USA

In 2022, Rogue® SC was sold for the first time commercially in the Southern USA rice producing region. It is a novel herbicidal chemistry (HPPD–inhibitor) for rice. Rogue® SC is a pro–herbicide and must be applied into a static, deep flood to convert to its herbicide active form. It is well suited for controlling many susceptible grasses, broadleaves, sedges, and aquatic weeds in a permanently flooded water– seeded or dry–seeded rice culture and enhanced when used with herbicide programs including Permit Plus®, Gambit®, and Ricestar® HT.

A Louisiana Perspective of Rogue® SC Weed Control in Rice

Rogue® SC weed control performance was examined in Louisiana on a limited acreage basis for four years under an experimental use permit prior to its release in 2022. During these years, key learnings were developed for management in Louisiana rice production.
