HRAC GROUP 1 (LEGACY A) RESISTANT PASTO AMARGO
(Eriochloa punctata)


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

Bolivia, Santa Cruz
INTRODUCTION PASTO AMARGO
Pasto Amargo (Eriochloa punctata) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Bolivia 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 fluazifop-butyl, and haloxyfop-methyl 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. To see a full list of herbicides and HRAC herbicide classifications click here.

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.
