Discussion Topics What is resistance? What causes resistance?
Mode of Action Codes • ACCase inhibition • ALS inhibition • Microtubule assembly inhibition • Synthetic auxin • PS II inhibition, not groups 6 or 7 • PS II inhibition, not groups 5 or 7 • PS II inhibition, not groups 5 or 6 • Lipid synthesis inhibition, not ACCase inhibition • EPSP synthase inhibition • Glutamine synthase inhibition • Carotenoid biosynthesis inhibition at PDS • Carotenoid biosynthesis inhibition, unknown target • PPO inhibition • Inhibition very long-chain fatty acids • Unknown MOA • Auxin transport inhibition • PS I electron diversion • Inhibition of HPPD
Herbicide Resistance Defined (WSSA definition) Inherited ability of a biotype* of a weed to survive and reproduce following exposure to a dose of herbicide normally lethal to the wild type. *Biotype is a subset of the population having some genetically controlled characteristic not common to the population as a whole
Herbicide Resistance Defined (WSSA definition) Inherited ability of a biotype of a weed to survive and reproduce following exposure to a dose of herbicide normally lethal to the wild type.
Herbicide Resistance vs Tolerance Resistance: herbicide used to kill that weed; it no longer does; we have selected for resistance. Example: Hoelon and ryegrass Tolerance: the herbicide never did kill that species. Example: 2,4-D and ryegrass
Cause of Herbicide Resistance • Herbicides do not create resistance. • Herbicides can select for resistant • individuals already in the population.
Resistant individuals initially rare Initial frequency of resistance: 1 in 100 thousand 1 in 1 million 1 in 10 million 1 weed/4.3 square feet = 10,000 weeds/acre = 1,000,000 weeds/100 acres Frequency of 1 in 1 million equal to one resistant plant per 100 acres

How does herbicide resistance develop? • Prerequisites for Resistance • At least one resistant plant must be present • 2. Selection pressure must be put on that resistant plant
Herbicide Resistance Management • The focus must be on • reducing selection pressure.
Diversity in management options reduces selection pressure on herbicides.
Weed Management in Cotton: Before RR • Conventional tillage • PPI and PRE herbicides • Early POST or POST-directed herbicides • Late POST-directed herbicides • Cultivation
Weed Management in Cotton: with RR • No-till or strip-till • No cultivation • No PPI herbicide; little to no PRE • Multiple in-crop Roundup applications • Very little other chemistry
Herbicide Resistance Management (Reducing selection pressure) • Minimize seed bank; avoid seed production

Herbicide Resistance Management (Reducing selection pressure) • Minimize seed bank; avoid seed production • Think whole-farm • Good control in all crops in rotation • Avoid seed production on ditchbanks, turnrows • Avoid seed movement
Herbicide Resistance Management (Reducing selection pressure) Herbicide Resistance Management • Minimize seed bank • Do not depend on a single herbicide (or a single SOA) • Multiple SOA’s within a crop, starting with a PRE or Preplant • Crop rotation, multiple and different SOA’s
Herbicide Resistance Management (Reducing selection pressure) Herbicide Resistance Management • Minimize seed bank • Do not depend on a single herbicide (or SOA) • Multiple SOA’s within a crop, starting with a PRE. • Crop rotation, with different SOA’s • Use full rates, including sequentials and tank mixes
