HRAC GROUP 9 (LEGACY G) RESISTANT WINDMILL GRASS
(Chloris truncata)

Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase HRAC Group 9 (Legacy G)

Australia, Victoria

INTRODUCTION		WINDMILL GRASS
Windmill Grass (Chloris truncata) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family. In Victoria this weed first evolved resistance to Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides in 2015 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.

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..

Widderick, M. J. ; McLean, A. R. ; Walker, S. R.. 2012. Non-chemical options for managing the seed bank of glyphosate resistant weeds. : 279 - 280.

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..
