HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT RICEFIELD BULRUSH
(Schoenoplectus mucronatus (=Scirpus mucronatus))


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Chile, Linares
INTRODUCTION RICEFIELD BULRUSH
Ricefield Bulrush (Schoenoplectus mucronatus (=Scirpus mucronatus)) is a monocot weed in the Cyperaceae family.  In Chile this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2005 and infests Rice.   Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase (Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to bensulfuron-methyl, bispyribac-sodium, cyclosulfamuron, ethoxysulfuron, imazamox, and pyrazosulfuron-ethyl and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 2 (Legacy B) 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

Field, Greenhouse, and Laboratory trials comparing a known susceptible Ricefield Bulrush biotype with this Ricefield Bulrush 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 2 resistant Ricefield Bulrush indicate that the inheritance is determined by a one gene, dominant, cytoplasmic 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 2 (Legacy B) resistant Ricefield Bulrush from Chile 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 2 (Legacy B) resistant Ricefield Bulrush from Chile please update the database.
