  1. Herbicide Resistant Weeds and Their Management Eric P. Prostko and A. Stanley Culpepper Extension Weed Specialists The University of Georgia Updated October 2005
  2. Herbicide Resistance Definition inherited ability of a weed or crop biotype to survive a herbicide application to which the original population was susceptible. Biotype = a group of plants within a species that has biological traits that are not common to the population as a whole.
  3. Herbicide Resistance cross resistance * weed biotype that has gained resistance to more than 1 herbicide with the same mode of action. Same or different families. multiple resistance * weed biotype that has developed tolerance to more than one herbicide brought about by different selection pressures (different modes of action).
  4. Why Are Plants Resistant to Herbicides? altered site of action enhanced metabolism sequestration

  12. Average Number of Seed Produced per Plant Top 4 Herbicide Resistant Weeds in US peanut - 175; cotton - 250; corn - 800
  13. Herbicide Characteristics That Influence Weed Resistance herbicides with a single site of action herbicides used multiple times during the growing season herbicides used for consecutive growing seasons herbicides used without other control strategies repeated use of a product for more than 2 years could develop a herbicide resistance problem!!

  17. Other Counties in Georgia with ALS-Resistant Palmer Amaranth Tested by BASF in 2005 Colquitt Cook Mitchell 175 locations were also sampled by UGA weed scientists in 2005 * * *
  18. Glyphosate Resistance Around the World (8 species) rigid ryegrass (1996) goosegrass (1997) horseweed (2000) Italian ryegrass (2001) hairy fleabane (2003) buckhorn plantain (2003) common ragweed (2004) Palmer amaranth (2005)

  22. Herbicide Resistance Should Only Be Suspected When .……... other causes of herbicide failure have been ruled out. the same herbicide or herbicides with the same mode of action have been used year after year. one weed that is normally controlled is not controlled while other weeds are. healthy weeds are mixed with controlled weeds (same species) a patch of uncontrolled weed is spreading.
  23. MSMA Resistant Cocklebur in NC (Dr. Alan York – NCSU))
  24. Causes of Herbicide Failures weed size** moisture temperature humidity rate application method calibration others All possible reasons for poor performance should be investigated before considering the possibility of resistance!!!
  25. Herbicide Resistant Weeds Strategies for Control/Prevention proactive vs. reactive utilize other weed control tactics (cultivation, row patterns, etc.) rotate herbicides with different MOA rotate crops scout fields prevent seed production clean tillage and harvesting equipment
  26. How long does resistance last in absence of further selection pressure? Andrews and Morrison (1997) - Canada DNA resistant green foxtail % of resistant seeds after 7 years initial resistance was at least 90% Source: Weed Technology (1997): 11:369-372.
  27. Does the use of reduced rates influence the rate of herbicide resistance development ? some say yes, some say no single dominant gene or multi-genic? Is level of control is same? rate vs selection pressure infrequent use of the lowest rate that provides effective control
