Rice cultivation is of great importance worldwide, due to its nutritional properties and becauseit is part of many plates of the inhabitants of all continents. Weeds are part of the factors that affect riceproduction, which is why it is necessary to apply herbicides, including the modality of the presence ofherbicides in irrigation. This paper aims to carry out a statistical study on the effectiveness of differenttreatments to eliminate the weeds of the INDIA SFL 11 rice variety in Babahoyo, Ecuador. The evaluationof some results of the treatments was carried out visually based on both weed control and herbicidetoxicity by using linguistic terms that are associated with an indeterminate scale of percentages, wherethe data are given in the form of intervals and not in crisp values. Additionally other seven criteria arealso utilized. Thus, we decided to apply neutrosophic statistics as a study tool for this problem. Neutrosophic statistics extends classical statistics theory to the framework of neutrosophy, where intervals areused instead of analyzing crisp values. Specifically, Tukey's test is applied in comparing some data inform of intervals that denotes the imprecision of the obtained measurement
