HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT SMOOTH PIGWEED
(Amaranthus hybridus (syn: quitensis))


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Argentina, Santa Fe, Córdoba
INTRODUCTION SMOOTH PIGWEED
Smooth Pigweed (Amaranthus hybridus (syn: quitensis)) is a dicot weed in the Amaranthaceae family.  In Argentina this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1996 and infests Soybean.   Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase (Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to chlorimuron-ethyl, and imazethapyr and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides.

The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action. To see a full list of herbicides and HRAC herbicide classifications click here.

RESISTENCIA DE AMARANTHUS QUITENSIS H.B.K. A IMAZETAPIR Y CLORIMURÓN-ETIL (RESISTANCE OF AMARANTHUS QUITENSIS H.B.K TO IMAZETHAPYR AND CLHORIMURON-ETHYL.) DANIEL TUESCA y LUISA NISENSOHN Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, C.C. 14 (2125) Zavalla, Santa Fe. Argentina. e-mail: dtuesca@agatha.unr.edu.ar lnisen@arnet.com.ar ABSTRACT - The objective was to determine the magnitude of resistance of A. quitensis H.B.K. biotypes to imazethapyr and chlorimuron-ethyl. Weed biotypes were colected at Zavalla, General Baldissera, Marcos Juárez y Las Rosas. The herbicides were applied at 1/8x, 1/4x, 1/2x, 1x, 5x, 10x, y 20x the suggested rate. Weed mortality and reduction of biomass related with untreated plants were evaluated. Herbicides concentrations required to reduce growth by 50% (GR50) were determined. Resistance ratio (GR50 resistant/ GR50 susceptible ) was calculated to indicate the degree of resistance. Zavalla showed high susceptibility, with 1/2 of the suggested rate of both herbicides mortality reached 95%. General Baldissera was cross-resistant; with rates 20 times superior to the recommended field use rate mortality was 57,5% and 20% for imazethapyr and clhorimuron-ethyl respectively. Resistance ratios of this biotype compared with Zavalla were 165 and 246 for imazethapyr and chlorimuron-ethyl respectively. Las Rosas y Marcos Juárez were resistant to imazethapyr but showed high susceptibility to chlorimuron-ethyl. The resistance patterns showed by the biotypes could be associated with diferences in the selection pressure at each location. Index terms: cross-resistance, imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, weeds, herbicides, biotypes. Published in: Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira, Brasilia, v. 36, n. 4 p. 601-606, 2001.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Field, and Greenhouse trials comparing a known susceptible Smooth Pigweed biotype with this Smooth Pigweed biotype have been used to confirm resistance. For further information on the tests conducted please contact the local weed scientists that provided this information.
 
Genetics

Genetic studies on HRAC Group 2 resistant Smooth Pigweed have not been reported to the site.  There may be a note below or an article discussing the genetics of this biotype in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature
 
Mechanism of Resistance

Studies on the mechanism of resistance of Group 2 (Legacy B) resistant Smooth Pigweed from Argentina indicate that resistance is due to an altered target site.  There may be a note below or an article discussing the mechanism of resistance in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature
 
Relative Fitness

There is no record of differences in fitness or competitiveness of these resistant biotypes when compared to that of normal susceptible biotypes.  If you have any information pertaining to the fitness of Group 2 (Legacy B) resistant Smooth Pigweed from Argentina please update the database.
