Variations in wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) morphology and stand productivity have been evaluated for 20 sites across northern Saskatchewan. Although considerable within-stand variation occurred, significant between-site differences were also detected, and regional trends were clearly evident. Plant development was more rapid in the eastern part of the province, and harvest began about 1 week earlier here. However, in the west, individual plants were typically more robust, tillering was more common, and the number of florets borne on the panicle was generally larger. Consequently, potential seed production from an individual plant was highest in these western districts, although differences in stem density and seed weight at the various sites offset individual plant performance to some extent. Differences in water temperature and water depth occurred across the province in July, while in August, water depth, pH, and conductivity were significantly correlated with longitude. Water depth and pH were most strongly related to plant performance, shallower water and higher pH being characteristic of the western sites.

Studies were conducted at Grand Rapids, MN, to determine the effect of giant burreed (Sparganium eurycarpumEngelm. # SPGEU) planted at 6, 12, and 24 corms/m2on wild rice (Zizania palustrisL. ‘K2′) growth and yield. Giant burreed, a spreading perennial, had shoot densities of 21, 29, and 42/m2at harvest for the 6, 12, and 24 corms/m2treatments, respectively. Wild rice yield and panicle number were reduced approximately 60% when giant burreed shoot density was 40/m2or higher when compared to the weed-free control. Giant burreed did not interfere with nutrient uptake of wild rice on a whole-plant basis, and increased N fertilizer application did not reduce losses in dry weight. Giant burreed reduced penetration of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from 2 to 35% in the wild rice canopy from the early tillering to the anthesis stage of wild rice development. In growth chamber studies, wild rice dry weight and panicle number were reduced by 46 and 65%, respectively, when wild rice was shaded for 12 weeks and compared to a full light treatment. Reduction of PAR penetration into the wild rice canopy appears to be the major mechanism of giant burreed interference with wild rice.

The response of giant burreed to bentazon, propanil, 2,4-D (amine salt), and 2,4-D plus crop oil (0.5% v/v) was evaluated at the 2-aerial-leaf stage of wild rice. Bentazon, 2,4-D, and 2,4-D plus crop oil at 1.1 kg/ha or more in 1984, and propanil and 2,4-D plus crop oil at 4.5 kg/ha in 1985 reduced giant burreed dry weight. Generally, herbicide rates above 1.1 kg/ha injured wild rice and reduced yields compared to weed-free controls. None of the study treatments resulted in effective giant burreed control without unacceptable injury to wild rice.

Infection of wild rice (Zizania palustris) flag leaves by Bipolaris oryzae was studied at temperatures of 5 to 35°C and wet periods of 2 to 36 h after inoculation. Lesion densities (lesions/cm2) increased with increasing wet periods depending on optimum temperature. High rates of infection occurred at 25 and 30°C and generally increased with continuous wet periods of 16, 18, 24, and 28 h. There were no lesions at 5°C and few at 10 and 35°C. Lesion densities declined when wet periods of 2, 4, or 6 h were interrupted by dry periods of 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 h followed by a final 14 h of wetness. Lesion densities decreased at all temperatures with increased dry periods regardless of the initial wet period. The interaction of dry period length × wet period length × temperature was significant at the 0.5% level. With continuous wet periods, lesion numbers were highest at 25 to 30°C.
