INTRODUCTION Redroot Pigweed

There are currently 25 different types (known as 'biotypes') of herbicide resistant weeds in Minnesota. The first herbicide resistant weed reported from Minnesota is Common Lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) with resistance to atrazine, reported in 1982. The most widespread resistant weed of Minnesota is Redroot Pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus)and is found primarily in Corn (maize). Tall Waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus (=A. rudis)), with resistance to fomesafen, glyphosate, and lactofen is the most recently discovered (2016) new type of resistant weed in Minnesota.

Resistance of weeds to herbicides is not a unique phenomenon. In fact, resistance to pesticides is a world wide problem that is not confined to any single pest category. The first report of insects resistant to insecticides was in 1908, of plant pathogens resistant to fungicides in 1940, and of weeds resistant to herbicides (triazines) in 1968. By 1991,120 weed biotypes that were resistant to triazine herbicides and 15 other herbicide families were documented throughout the world. Results of a 1.
