INTRODUCTION WINDMILL GRASS Windmill Grass (Chloris truncata) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Spain this weed first evolved resistance to Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides in 2023 and infests Roadsides.   Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase (Inhibition of EPSP synthase).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to glyphosate and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 9 (Legacy G) 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 GENERAL Characterization of herbicide resistance of Spanish populations of Chloris truncata versus glyphosate Characterization of herbicide resistance of Spanish populations of Chloris truncata against glyphosate German Mora,, Jordi Recasens, María Dolores Osuna, Miriam Gil Monreal & Joel Torra Spain (E-mail: german.mora@udl.cat ) https://doi.org/10.19084/rca.35026 ABSTRACT Chloris truncatais a perennial grass with a C4 photosynthetic pathway. It is native to Australia, but it is currently distributed in other subtropical regions of the world. In Spain, it is considered a naturalized allochthonous species, mainly in Extremadura and Catalonia. Currently, there have been reported failures in its control with glyphosate. Previous studies report that herbicide resistance is based onEPSPSgene amplification. In 2022, seeds were collected from field plant survivors of glyphosate treatments in Talayuela – Extremadura (CTT-R); a population from Australia (CTA-S) was used as sensitive reference material. Preliminary tests (greenhouse) were carried out on seedlings with four leaves (BBCH 14), with doses of (1.5 and 3 L ha-1) 540 and 1080 g ai ha-1of glyphosate, with 100% survival. In the same year, dose-response trials were carried out with a dose range between 270 and 8,640 g ai ha-1. At 28 days after treatment (DAT), the survival percentage was evaluated and values   of: 1,146.7 and 321.34 g ai ha-1were determined with a Resistance Factor (RF) of 3.7 times according to GRfifty; for LDfifty, 1,882.9 and 712.5 g ai ha-1with RF of 2.6 for the CTT-R and CTA-S populations, respectively. Complementary dose-response experiments are currently being carried out with new populations collected in Extremadura and Catalonia, to confirm or not, the presence of other glyphosateresistant biotypes and to elucidate the resistance mechanism involved.

Cook, T.. 2013. How widespread is resistance?. Australian Cottongrower 34 : 34, 35 - 39.

This paper presents the results of surveys conducted on the distribution (regardless of herbicide resistance status) in Australia of wild oats [Avena fatua], fleabane [Erigeron], awnless barnyard grass [Echinochloa colona], annual ryegrass [Lolium multiflorum] and windmill grass [Chloris truncata], and their management. The most widespread resistant species are wild oats and fleabane. Awnless barnyard grass and annual rygrass, both resistant to glyphosate, are found mainly in the north and south of the northern cropping region, respectively. The glyphosate-resistant windmill grass is in the infancy of its spread, mainly confined to the central west plains..

Glyphosate resistance is becoming a common problem in farming systems of the subtropical cropping region of Australia. Glyphosateresistance has been confirmed in awnless barnyard grass (Echinochloa colona L. (Link)), liverseed grass (Urochloa panicoides P.Beauv.), flaxleaf fleabane (Conyza bonariensis (L.) Cronquist), windmill grass (Chloris truncata R.Br.) and annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum (Gaud.)) (Preston 2012). As well, common sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.) was identified at high risk of developing glyphosate resistance. To prevent further glyphosate resistance and to improve management of existing glyphosate resistant populations, alternative management tactics for these key weeds are required. This paper reports on the impact of different tillage and stubble treatments on emergence and persistence of awnless barnyard grass and common sowthistle in two experiments located in southern Darling Downs, Queensland..

Malone, J. ; Cook, A. ; Wu HanWen ; Hashem, A. ; Preston, C.. 2012. Management of glyphosate resistant weeds in non-agricultural areas. : 184 - 186.

A survey of non-agricultural areas including roadsides, railway right-of-ways and irrigation channels was conducted across Australia to investigate the extent of glyphosate resistance in four weed species. A total of 150 windmill grass (Chloris truncata R.Br.) and 84 fleabane (Conyza bonariensis (L.) Cronquist) populations were collected from QLD, NSW, VIC, SA and WA. A total of 7% of the windmill grass and 52% of the fleabane populations contained individuals resistant to glyphosate. Of 186 populations of annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaudin) collected from SA, NSW and WA, 50% were found to contain high numbers of resistant individuals. Nine barnyard grass (Echinochloa colona (L.) Link) populations were collected from northern NSW and three of these were resistant. Glyphosate resistance in these non-agricultural areas has the ability to spread into other areas, such as crops, and cause management difficulties elsewhere. Therefore, the high degree of resistance found in this study highlights the importance for the development and application of management strategies for these areas..
