United States, Washington
INTRODUCTION PRICKLY LETTUCE
Prickly Lettuce (Lactuca serriola) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In Washington this weed first evolved resistance to Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides in 2007 and infests Cereals.   Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides are known as Auxin Mimics (Auxin Mimics ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to 2,4-D, dicamba, and MCPA and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 4 (Legacy O) 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.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE

HISTORY - FIRST CASE

2,4-D resistant prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola L.) in Washington. I. C. Burke*,1 J. Yenish,1 D. Pittmann,1 R. Gallagher2; 1Washington State University, Pullman, WA, 2Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA

Prickly lettuce has become a widespread and troublesome weed in the Pacific Northwest. It occurs in all rainfall zones and is difficult to control largely due to ALS resistance but also due to increased tolerance to 2,4-D and glyphosate. Although prickly lettuce is not a relatively competitive weed in-crop, it can deplete the soil of moisture for following crops. In wheat fields adjacent to Pullman, WA, several individual plants within a prickly lettuce population were observed to survive two separate broadcast applications of a glyphosate plus 2,4-D in mixture (0.84 kg ae/ha each). Other broadleaf weed species and most prickly lettuce plants within the treated area were effectively controlled. Consequently, seed were collected from the surviving plants to determine tolerance to glyphosate and 2,4-D. The objectives of this study where to identify any antagonistic interactions of 2,4-D and glyphosate for control of prickly lettuce and to determine response of putatively resistant prickly lettuce biotypes to increasing rates of 2,4-D. When glyphosate and 2,4-D where applied in mixture at 0.42 kg ae/ha, antagonism was observed in prickly lettuce found to be resistant to 2,4-D. Conversely, synergism was observed when the same treatment was applied to susceptible prickly lettuce. In dose response experiments, the resistant prickly lettuce biotype was found to be 27-fold more resistant to 2,4-D than the susceptible biotype. The resistant prickly lettuce biotype is cross-resistant to MCPA and dicamba, but not to aminopyralid or fluroxypr.
