Inhibition of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase HRAC Group 1 (Legacy A)

Brazil, Paraná

INTRODUCTION		ALEXANDERGRASS
Alexandergrass (Urochloa plantaginea (=Brachiaria plantaginea)) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family. In Brazil this weed first evolved resistance to Group 1 (Legacy A) herbicides in 1997 and infests Soybean. Group 1 (Legacy A) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase (Inhibition of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase ). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to butroxydim, diclofop-methyl, fenoxaprop-ethyl, fluazifop-butyl, haloxyfop-methyl, propaquizafop, quizalofop-ethyl, and sethoxydim and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 1 (Legacy A) herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Field, Greenhouse, and Laboratory trials comparing a known susceptible Alexandergrass biotype with this Alexandergrass 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 1 resistant Alexandergrass indicate that the inheritance is determined by a nuclear trait. 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

Studies on the mechanism of resistance of Group 1 (Legacy A) resistant Alexandergrass from Brazil indicate that resistance is due to an altered target site. There may be a note below or an article discussing the mechanism of resistance in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature

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 1 (Legacy A) resistant Alexandergrass from Brazil please update the database.

Knowledge of weed seed banks is an important factor in soyabean cropping and weed management in Brazil. This document discusses various aspects of the importance of the seed bank. The first part of the document discusses the biological cycle of the seed bank and interactions between the weed species, environmental factors (climate and soil) and competition with the crop, and crop and soil management in relation to the weed seed bank. The major weed species of soyabeans in the seed bank are Euphorbia heterophylla, Bidens pilosa, Commelina sp., Brachiaria plantaginea [Urochloa plantaginea], Digitaria spp., and Cardiospermum halicacabum. The next part of the document looks at factors in the emergence of weeds, including the weed species, the sowing date of the crop, the use of herbicides, the effect of vegetative cover, the effect of soil fertility. The last part of the document discusses the weed seed bank in relation to its effects on competition with the crop/crop cultivar, weed herbicide resistance, the effect of using genetically modified soyabeans, integrated management systems, organic farming, and preharvest desiccation of soyabeans with herbicides (in extreme situations only)..
