HRAC GROUP 9 (LEGACY G) RESISTANT SWOLLEN FINGERGRASS
(Chloris barbata = (C. inflate))

Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase HRAC Group 9 (Legacy G)

Mexico, Colima
INTRODUCTION SWOLLEN FINGERGRASS
Swollen Fingergrass (Chloris barbata = (C. inflate)) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Mexico this weed first evolved resistance to Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides in 2018 and infests Oranges.   Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase (Inhibition of EPSP synthase).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to glyphosate and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 9 (Legacy G) 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.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Greenhouse, and Laboratory trials comparing a known susceptible Swollen Fingergrass biotype with this Swollen Fingergrass 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 9 resistant Swollen Fingergrass indicate that the inheritance is determined by a one gene trait.  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 9 (Legacy G) resistant Swollen Fingergrass from Mexico 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 9 (Legacy G) resistant Swollen Fingergrass from Mexico please update the database.
