The intenseuse of herbicides with the same action mechanism in rice (Oryza sativa L.) has selected resistant biotypes, such as red rice (weed) resistant to imidazolinone herbicides. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the resistance of red rice to the imazapyr + imazapic herbicide in the southern region of Rio Grande of Sul, Brazil, and the control of the red rice resistant biotype with the alternative herbicides, clethodim and glyphosate. Three experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design, arranged in a factorial design. In the first experiment, the factor A tested biotypes of red rice [ORYSA 184 (resistant) and ORYSA 188 (susceptible)], factor B compared herbicides (imazapyr + imazapic, clethodim and glyphosate) and factor C evaluated dosages of herbicide (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 times the recommended dosage). The second experiment compared biotypes of red rice and dosages of the imazapyr + imazapicherbicide (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 times the recommended dosages). The third experiment tested biotypes of red rice and different doses of the imazapyr + imazapic for each biotype. The biotype ORYSA 184 is resistant to imazapic + imazapyr when applied at the maximum indicated record and stadium dose. The herbicides glyphosate and clethodim, holders of alternative mechanisms of action, control the red rice resistant biotype ORYSA 184.
