Introduction About this page
There are currently 16 different types (known as 'biotypes') of herbicide resistant weeds in Oregon. The first herbicide resistant weed reported from Oregon is Italian Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) with resistance to diclofop-methyl, reported in 1987. Local weed scientists estimate that there are 1,830 sites and more than 127,800 acres infested with herbicide resistant weeds in Oregon and they infest alfalfa, cropland, grass seed, kentucky bluegrass, mint, orchards, and wheat. The most widespread resistant weed of Oregon is Russian Thistle (Salsola iberica), which infests an estimated 10001-100000 acres and is found primarily in wheat. Shepherd's-purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), with resistance to hexazinone, and metribuzin is the most recently discovered (2007) new type of resistant weed in Oregon.
