MULTIPLE RESISTANT SMALLFLOWER UMBRELLA SEDGE
(Cyperus difformis)


Multiple Resistance: 2 Sites of Action
Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)
PSII inhibitors - Histidine 215 Binders HRAC Group 6 (Legacy C3)

Portugal, Alentejo
INTRODUCTION SMALLFLOWER UMBRELLA SEDGE
Smallflower Umbrella Sedge (Cyperus difformis) is a monocot weed in the Cyperaceae family.  In Portugal this weed first evolved multiple resistance (to 2 herbicide sites of action) in 2023 and infests Rice.  Multiple resistance has evolved to herbicides in the Groups 2 (Legacy B), and PSII inhibitors - Histidine 215 Binders HRAC Group 6 (Legacy C3).  These particular biotypes are known to have resistance to bentazon, and penoxsulam and they may be cross-resistant to other herbicides in the Groups 2 (Legacy B), and PSII inhibitors - Histidine 215 Binders HRAC Group 6 (Legacy C3).

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, and Greenhouse trials comparing a known susceptible Smallflower Umbrella Sedge biotype with this Smallflower Umbrella Sedge 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, 6 resistant Smallflower Umbrella Sedge have not been reported to the site.  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 multiple resistant Smallflower Umbrella Sedge from Portugal 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 multiple resistant Smallflower Umbrella Sedge from Portugal please update the database.
