Provided are improved agricultural processes for the improved cultivation of rice wherein the crops are treated to control undesired vegetative growth using a plant treatment composition comprising both halosulfuron and thifensulfuron to provide improved herbicidal efficacy against Heteranthera limosa, commonly referred to as duck salad. Also provided are compositions useful in the improved agricultural processes, as well as herbicidal treatment regimens. Unexpectedly high rates of efficacy against Heteranthera limosa, amongst rice plant in rice crops are disclosed.

Systems and methods for rapidly assessing biocide contamination and biological contamination treatments found in fluids used for subterranean well treatments and related operations are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include providing a fluid including an aqueous base fluid and one or more microorganisms; introducing a first sample of the fluid to a first culture device including an indicator reagent, wherein over a period of about 48 hours or less the indicator reagent indicates a first color change in the first sample of the fluid; and determining a first count of the microorganisms in the fluid based, at least in part, on the first color change.
