To develop effective herbicide control methods for alligatorweed (Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb.) in the context of transplanted paddy rice cultivation, six herbicide treatments were tested in small-scale plots (2.7 m2) in 2021 and 2022. The tests were conducted in farm paddy fields in...
