MULTIPLE RESISTANT WILD POINSETTIA

Brazil, Paraná
INTRODUCTION WILD POINSETTIA
Wild Poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla) is a dicot weed in the Euphorbiaceae family.  In Brazil this weed first evolved multiple resistance (to 2 herbicide sites of action) in 2004 and infests Corn (maize), and Soybean.  Multiple resistance has evolved to herbicides in the Groups 2 (Legacy B), and Inhibition of Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase HRAC Group 14 (Legacy E).  These particular biotypes are known to have resistance to acifluorfen, cloransulam-methyl, diclosulam, flumetsulam, flumiclorac-pentyl, fomesafen, imazethapyr, lactofen, metsulfuron-methyl, nicosulfuron, and saflufenacil and they may be cross-resistant to other herbicides in the Groups 2 (Legacy B), and Inhibition of Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase HRAC Group 14 (Legacy E).

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

CROSS RESISTANCE

Michelangelo Trezzi
Multiple resistance of acetolactate synthase and protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors in Euphorbia heterophylla biotypes ABSTRACT: The probability to select biotypes of Euphorbia heterophylla (EPPHL) with multiple resistance increases in the same magnitude that the use of other herbicides belonging to only one mechanism of action. In greenhouse, samples of each population were sprayed with imazethapyr or fomesafen, in only one rate, to identify the resistant ones. These were sprayed with different levels of the herbicides imazethapyr and fomesafen. Later, they were sprayed with diverse herbicides of the same mechanisms of action to confirm the multiple/cross resistance. Some biotypes demonstrated resistance to herbicides from the two mechanisms of action. The resistance factor (FR), or the relation of resistance between R and susceptible biotypes, confirm the existence of two biotypes of EPHHL with cross resistance to several herbicides inhibitors of ALS and PROTOX. Experiments with the goal to investigate resistance mechanism to PROTOX indicate differencial absorption of fomesafen between susceptible and resistant biotypes, specially when the herbicide is sprayed in the shoots of plants.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Greenhouse trials comparing a known susceptible Wild Poinsettia biotype with this Wild Poinsettia 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 2, 14 resistant Wild Poinsettia have not been reported to the site.  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

The mechanism of resistance for this biotype is either unknown or has not been entered in the database.  If you know anything about the mechanism of resistance for this biotype then please update the database.
 
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 multiple resistant Wild Poinsettia from Brazil please update the database.
