The results revealed that the bioactivity of NCI to the seeds of E. crus-galli var. crus-galli was better than that of pretilachlor 30% EC (the control) at much lower dosage. As a pre-emergence herbicide at a dose of 30 g/hm2, the fresh weight inhibition rates of NCI 34. 5% SC against the susceptible and resistant annual gramineous weeds were all above 93. 26% ; the selectivity index (Z) of rice ranged from to , and it was safe to rice. At the - to -leaf stages of grass weeds, the fresh weight inhibition rates of 144 g/hm2 NCI to susceptible Echinochloa spp. were all above % after foliar spray treatment, but its effects to resistant Echinochloa spp., Leptochloa chinensis and Digitaria sanguinalis were slightly lower. It was safe for rice at the 1. 5- to 3. 5-leaf stage and there was no significant difference in fresh weight between 9-144 g/hirf NCI treatment and control. Field test results showed that, when NCI was treated with the dose of 60 and 75 g/hm2 as a pre-emergence herbicide, or by foliar spray treatment at the - to 2-leaf stage at the dose of 100 and 112
