INTRODUCTION SERRATED TUSSOCK
Serrated Tussock (Nassella trichotoma) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Victoria this weed first evolved resistance to Group 0 (Legacy Z) herbicides in 2002 and infests Pastures.   Group 0 (Legacy Z) herbicides are known as Unknown (Unknown).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to flupropanate and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 0 (Legacy Z) 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.

If we do not have a picture for this weed, or you can provide a better picture (scan, digital camera etc) please please e-mail it to us.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE

GENERAL

Christopher Preston
Flupropanate had been used for 17 years on this pasture. R/S comparison in pot trials conducted twice showed an 8-fold increase in resistance. The local contact for this case is David McLaren (David.McLaren@nre.vic.gov.au)

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Greenhouse trials comparing a known susceptible Serrated Tussock biotype with this Serrated Tussock 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 0 resistant Serrated Tussock 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

The mechanism of resistance for this biotype is either unknown or has not been entered in the database.  If you know anything about the mechanism of resistance for this biotype then please update the database.
 
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 0 (Legacy Z) resistant Serrated Tussock from Victoria please update the database.
