INTRODUCTION LIVID AMARANTH Livid Amaranth (Amaranthus blitum (ssp. oleraceus)) is a dicot weed in the Amaranthaceae family.  In Malaysia this weed first evolved resistance to Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides in 1990 and infests Vegetables.   Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides are known as PS I Electron Diversion (PSI Electron Diversion ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to paraquat and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

A review of biological information is provided for three species of the genus Amaranthus: A. albus, A. blitoides and A. blitum. The last species has been revised taxonomically and a new subspecies for Canada is presented - A. blitum subsp. emarginatus subsp. nov. Amaranthus albus and A. blitoides are native to the USA and introduced to Canada. Both species are annual ruderal and agrestal weeds. During the past 100 years, the two species have spread across most provinces of Canada, but the greatest frequency and abundance have been recorded in Saskatchewan. Originating from Europe, Asia and North Africa, A. blitum was initially considered a non-persistent species. The present study shows that A. blitum especially, subsp. emarginatus, has continued to spread in Québec. The three species are alternate hosts to many insects, nematodes, viruses, bacteria and fungi that affect cultivated plants. In other areas (USA, Europe and Asia), the three species have developed multiple resistance to triazine and acetolactate-synthase-inhibiting herbicides..

Bulcke, R. ; Himme, M. van. 1989. Resistance to herbicides in weeds in Belgium. : 31 - 39.

In this review of herbicide resistant weeds, estimates of occurrence in Belgium and possible control measures are presented. The first triazine-resistant biotypes of weeds were recorded 10 years ago. Resistance, at the chloroplast level, in maize crops is now widespread in Chenopodium album, Solanum nigrum and locally occurring in Epilobium ciliatum and Senecio vulgaris. In tree nurseries and fruit plantations chemical weed control measures had to be adapted to control triazine-resistant Poa annua, and has resulted in a rapid shift towards resistant biotypes of S. vulgaris, E. ciliatum and S. nigrum. Amaranthus blitum (in tree nurseries and fruit orchards) and A. bouchonii (in maize and fruit plantations) occur locally in very dense stands where s-triazines are applied but resistance has not yet been detected..
