Issues in Weed Management, 2004 • Weed Science at MSU • Herbicide Resistance • Herbicide Update
Herbicide Resistance • Innate ability of a species to survive and reproduce after treatment with a dose of herbicide that would normally be lethal
Idaho Prickly lettuce Kochia Russian thistle Wild Oat Italian ryegrass Mayweed chamomile Wyoming Kochia Italian ryegrass North Dakota Kochia Green foxtail Wild oat Redroot pigweed Wild mustard E. black nightshade Utah Kochia Herbicide Resistance
Herbicide Resistance • Selection intensity • Herbicide efficacy • Number of herbicide applications / year • Weed biology • Genetic variability • Reproduction mechanism • Genetics of resistance • ALS or ACCase vs. EPSP synthase
Resistance Management • ROTATE!!!!! • Management practices • Crops • Herbicides with different SITE OF ACTION
Herbicide Mode of Action • Sequence of events from absorption of the herbicide into the plant until the plant dies
Absorption Movement Contact Toxicity Herbicide Mode of Action
Mode of Action (Amino Acid Biosyntehsis Inhibitors) Site of Action (EPSPS inhibitor) Chemical Family (Glyicines) Active Ingredient (Glyphosate) Commercial Products (Roundup, Ultramax, etc.)
Weed Management in Montana • Based on few HMOA • Amino acids biosynthesis inhibitors (Roundup and the Sulfonylureas) • Growth regulators (2,4-D, MCPA) • ACCase inhibitors (Holeon and Achieve )
