INTRODUCTION PASTO AMARGO Pasto Amargo (Eriochloa punctata) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Bolivia this weed first evolved resistance to Group A/1 herbicides in 1997 and infests Soybean.   Group A/1 herbicides are known as ACCase inhibitors (Inhibition of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase)).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to fluazifop-P-butyl, and haloxyfop-methyl and they may be cross-resistant to other Group A/1 herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE AREAS FOUND Pablo Franco Santa Cruz State; provinces (counties): Obispo Santiesteban, Sara, Guarayos, Ichilo, Chiquitos Edit this Note  |  Add New Note   GENERAL Pablo Franco The tropical grass, carib grass is frequently found in dry seeded rice, soya bean, maize, and cotton in Santa Cruz State, Bolivia. Dense populations of carib grass are found on most farms in soya bean following widespread and continued use of post-emergence herbicides which inhibit the enzyme ACCase. Farmers have recently reported difficulty in controlling carib grass with recommended doses of fluazifop-p. For fenoxaprop the resistance index was 8.8 times the LD of the biotype San Pedro. The resistance indexes of Monte Cristo were 1.04, 1.25, 1.5, 1.76, 2.5, 2.5, 4.5 for butroxydim, propaquizafop, clodinafop, quizalofop, haloxyfop, cyhalofop, cycloxydim, respectively.
