This book was released on 2012 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian ryegrass populations have evolved resistance to herbicides that producers rely on for weed control both in wheat and burn-down. The objectives of this research were to: test populations of Italian ryegrass from across Arkansas for resistance to glyphosate, diclofop, pinoxaden, and pyroxsulam; determine if there were any differences in control of 12 glyphosate-resistant populations in relation to glyphosate rate or application timing; determine the level of glyphosate resistance in one selected population versus a susceptible standard and a previously discovered glyphosate-resistant population; and determine the best options for controlling Italian ryegrass prior to planting crops. A total of 215 population samples were tested. On average 17% of the samples were resistant to glyphosate, 95% were resistant to diclofop, 64% were resistant to pyroxsulam, and 12% were resistant to pinoxaden. A few were resistant to all four chemistries tested. Control of glyphosate-resistant populations was improved with the high rate of glyphosate at the three- to four-tiller growth stage; however, results for individual populations were variable. When averaged across populations, no rate or timing of glyphosate controlled these resistant populations greater than 62%. One population was found to be 23 times more tolerant to glyphosate than a susceptible standard. Three field experiments were conducted for Italian ryegrass control in the spring, in no-till production in the fall, and following fall tillage. Herbicide applications in the spring were unsuccessful, especially when glyphosate is not an option. Even when postemergence (POST) treatments visually controlled ryegrass at least 80%, enough ryegrass residue remained that would cause problems with spring tillage, planting, and overall crop stand establishment. In the fall-tilled study, the residual herbicides flumioxazin plus S-metolachlor, S-metolachlor, clomazone, and pyroxasulfone applied immediately following fall tillage reduced Italian ryegrass biomass by 83 to 95% at 200 days after treatment.

Book excerpt: Glyphosate-resistant (GR) Italian ryegrass has been documented in many different countries around the world and has now become a major problem in row crop production areas of Mississippi. Field experiments were conducted from 2006 to 2008 in the Mississippi Delta to evaluate various herbicide and tillage treatment programs for its control. Highest level of control and reduction of GR Italian ryegrass biomass was observed with mechanically incorporated as well as surface applied residual herbicides in the fall of the year. Control of GR Italian ryegrass was 86-95% with surface applications of clomazone at 0.56, 0.84, and 1.12 kg ai/ha, s-metolachlor at 1.79 kg ai/ha and KIH-485 at 0.16 kg ai/ha 171 days after emergence. Using a systems approach, preplant incorporated (PPI) clomazone and/or s-metolachlor followed by preemergence (PRE) application of paraquat + linuron+ non-ionic surfactant was also found to control and reduce biomass of GR Italian ryegrass.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weeds are the main biological constraint to crop production throughout the year. Uncontrolled weeds could cause 100% yield loss. In Australia, the overall cost of weeds to Australian grain growers was estimated at AU$ 3.3 billion annually. In terms of yield losses, weeds amounted to 2.7 million tonnes of grains at a national level. In the USA, weeds cost US$ 33 billion in lost crop production annually. In India, these costs were estimated to be much higher (US$ 11 billion). These studies from different economies suggest that weeds cause substantial yield and economic loss. Biology and Management of Problematic Weed Species details the biology of key weed species, providing vital information on seed germination and production, as well as factors affecting weed growth. These species include Chenopodium album, Chloris truncata and C. virgate, Conyza bonariensis and C. canadensis, Cyperus rotundus, and many more. This information is crucial for researchers and growers to develop integrated weed management (IWM) strategies. Written by leading experts across the globe, this book is an essential read to plant biologists and ecologists, crop scientists, and students and researchers interested in weed science. - Provides detailed information on the biology of different key weed species - Covers weed seed germination and emergence - Presents the factors affecting weed growth and seed production

This book was released on 2009 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Control of Italian ryegrass is important to Tennessee wheat producers. Control of Italian ryegrass has become more difficult over the years due to diclofop resistance. Italian ryegrass resistance to diclofop has been documented in several countries including the US. Tennessee producers have begun to notice that ryegrass escapes are becoming more prevalent than in years past. The purpose of this research was to use glasshouse methods to screen selected populations of Italian ryegrass for resistance to diclofop and to a more recent wheat herbicide pinoxaden and to utilize field experiments to develop herbicide programs for control Italian ryegrass in the field. Resistance to diclofop was found in eight TN populations. The eight populations did not show cross-resistance to pinoxaden. One population from Union County, NC (R1) was found to be resistant to both diclofop and pinoxaden. The level of resistance to pinoxaden of the R1 population was 14 x that of the susceptible population. Field experiments demonstrated preemergence (PRE) Italian ryegrass control with chlorsulfuron (71 to 94%) and flufenacet + metribuzin (84 to 96%). Italian ryegrass control with pendimethalin applied PRE or delayed preemergence (DPRE) was variable (0 to 85%). Postemergence control of Italian ryegrass was good with pinoxaden, mesosulfuron, flufenacet + metribuzin, and chlorsulfuron + flucarbazone (>80%). Timing of application and herbicide treatment had no effect upon wheat yield, except for diclofop and pendimethalin treatments where Italian ryegrass was not controlled. Pinoxaden is in the phenylpyrazolin herbicide family which offers control of Italian ryegrass but is not toxic to wheat. Pinoxaden has only been on the market for three years yet several wheat producers have suspected resistance in Italian ryegrass biotypes. An experiment was conducted to identify Italian ryegrass biotypes resistant to pinoxaden and to determine the mechanism of resistance using derived Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence (dCAPS) methods. Two populations were found resistant to pinoxaden, one from the state of Washington (R2) and the other from North Carolina (R1). The substitution of isoleucine by leucine at the 1781 ACCase residue was identified in the R1 biotype but not in the R2. The NC1 biotype is the first known pinoxaden resistant Italian ryegrass population to be documented having the 1781 target-site mutation.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian ryegrass is a principal weed problem in wheat production fields in the southern US. Resistance to herbicides diclofop, mesosulfuron, and pinoxaden among ryegrass populations has been reported. Glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass populations were identified in Desha County, Arkansas. This research aimed to 1) determine resistance patterns to ACCase (diclofop and pinoxaden) and ALS (imazamox, mesosulfuron, and pyroxsulam) herbicides among Italian ryegrass populations from the southern US; 2) determine if cytochrome P450-mediated enhanced herbicide metabolism contributed to resistance; and 3) elucidate the resistance mechanism to glyphosate in four Arkansas populations (Des03, Des05, Des14, and D8). For objective 1, 30 accessions from problematic fields in the southern US between 2008 and 2010 were subjected to dose-response bioassays. Among the 30 accessions, 27 were resistant to both diclofop and mesosulfuron, 25 of which were also resistant to pyroxsulam. Ten Arkansas accessions collected in 2008 were resistant to diclofop, mesosulfuron, pyroxsulam, and imazamox. One accession from Georgia and three accessions from North Carolina were resistant to diclofop, mesosulfuron, pyroxsulam, and pinoxaden. For objective 2, six ryegrass populations with different resistance patterns to glyphosate, ALS- and ACCase herbicides, were treated with P450 inhibitors malathion (1000 g ai ha-1) and 1-aminobenzotriazole (100 microM ABT) before herbicide application. Malathion improved herbicide activity in some populations, but did not completely overcome resistance to any herbicide. This indicates that P450-mediated metabolism is only partially responsible for resistance in these populations. For objective 3, plants from Des03 population were analyzed for resistance level, EPSPS genetic mutation(s), EPSPS enzyme activity, and EPSPS gene copy number. The absorption and translocation of 14C-glyphosate were similar in R and S plants. The EPSPS gene in the R plants did not contain any point mutation(s) associated with glyphosate resistance. Resistance to glyphosate in Des03 is due to increased basal EPSPS enzyme activity resulting from amplification of the EPSPS gene. Follow-up experiments conducted on other glyphosate-R populations, Des05, Des14, and D8, showed 11-fold to 516-fold more copies of the EPSPS gene in resistant plants than their susceptible counterparts indicating that EPSPS gene amplification also confers resistance to glyphosate in these populations.

Husnot), one of the problem weeds of the US, evolved resistance to multiple herbicides including glyphosate due to selection in Arkansas (AR). Glyphosate is a 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) inhibitor and amplification of EPSPS gene, the molecular target of glyphosate confers resistance to this herbicide in several weed species, including Italian ryegrass from AR. The objective of this study was to determine the expression of EPSPS gene and protein as well as distribution of EPSPS copies on the genome of glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass (ARR) using a known susceptible Italian ryegrass (ARS) from AR. EPSPS gene copies and expression of ARR and ARS were determined using quantitative PCR with appropriate endogenous controls. EPSPS protein expression was determined using Western blot analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed on somatic metaphase chromosomes to determine the location of EPSPS copies. Based on qPCR analysis, ARR plants showed a wide range of 12 to 118 EPSPS copies compared to a single copy in ARS. EPSPS gene expression correlated with the gene copy number in both ARR and ARS. Individuals with high EPSPS copies showed high protein expression in Western blot analysis. FISH analysis showed presence of brighter EPSPS signals, distributed randomly throughout the genome of ARR individuals compared to a faint signal in ARS plants. Random distribution of EPSPS copies was previously reported in glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. Overall, the results of this study will help understand the origin and mechanism of EPSPS gene amplification in Italian ryegrass.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) is a troublesome weedy species spread throughout the United States, competing for light, water and nutrients with crops. Its control has been chiefly dependent on herbicides due to their effectiveness and practicality. As result of heavy selection pressure, herbicide-resistant populations of Italian ryegrass have been selected in California and Oregon trees and vines. Recently, poor control of Italian ryegrass with paraquat was reported by orchard managers in California, whereas glufosinate-resistant populations were reported in Oregon. We hypothesize that the low paraquat efficacy observed in a California population is due to the selection of a paraquat-resistant biotype. We also hypothesized that non-target-site mechanisms of resistance were selected in glufosinate-resistant Italian ryegrass populations from Oregon. Greenhouse, field and laboratory experiments were carried out to characterize herbicide-resistant Italian ryegrass populations from California. Laboratory experiments were conducted to characterize the resistance to glufosinate in Oregon Italian ryegrass populations. Greenhouse dose-response experiments confirmed the presence of paraquat resistance in an Italian ryegrass population from California, with multiple resistance to clethodim and glyphosate. Glyphosate resistance is due to amino acid substitutions in the EPSPS at position 106. Field experiments with PRE herbicides indicated that tankmixes containing indaziflam and flumioxazin can provide adequate L. multiflorum control up to 150 days after treatment. Resistance to paraquat likely involves vacuolar sequestration of the herbicide. Laboratory experiments with Oregon Italian ryegrass populations indicate that metabolism of glufosinate is involved in the resistance mechanism. These results add generally to the body of knowledge of herbicide resistance in ryegrass and should influence how multiple herbicide-resistant populations are managed in trees and vines of the western US.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies were conducted in the field and in containers in Mississippi from 2017-2019 to optimize Italian ryegrass control in corn production. Most fall-applied residual herbicides provided ≥ 90% Italian ryegrass control 56 days after treatment (DAT) in both field and container experiments. Oxyflurofen provided 95% Italian ryegrass control 28 DAT but only 81% control 56 DAT in field plots. S-metolachlor plus atrazine followed by paraquat produced the highest return on investment for both site-years. The timing of removal study indicates the optimum time to remove Italian ryegrass relative to corn planting is approximately three to four weeks prior to planting. In the droplet size study, Italian ryegrass control when S-metolachlor was sprayed with the TTI was lower than when S-metolachlor was sprayed with the AIXR in containers 28 DAT. Italian ryegrass control when paraquat was sprayed with the AIXR was greater than when paraquat was sprayed with the TTI.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne spp. multiflorum) is a common weed management problem in turfgrasses, cereals and non-crop areas in the United States. In Oregon, the number of populations with multiple-resistance continues to increase. To manage these resistant populations, the resistance patterns must be determined. In this study, five Italian ryegrass populations (CT, R1, R2, R3 and R4) from two cropping systems were studied for resistance patterns and mechanisms. The CT population is from a Christmas tree plantation and was resistant to at least six herbicides with four different mechanisms of action: atrazine, diuron (2.4-fold), glyphosate (7.4-fold), hexazinone (3.1-fold), imazapyr (1.8-fold), and sulfometuron. The resistant indices (RI) for sulfometuron and atrazine could not be calculated because 50% growth reduction for the CT population was not reached even with the highest rates applied, 17.6 kg ai ha−1and 16 kg ai ha−1, respectively, which are 16 times the recommended field application rates for this two herbicides. The CT population accumulated less shikimate than the S population. There were two mutations in the CT population, Trp591 to Leu in the ALS gene and Ser264 to Gly in the psbA gene, which explain the ALS and PII cross resistance, respectively. R1, R2, R3 and R4 were collected from annual cropping systems. All four populations were resistant to flufenacet. RIs for two populations, R2 and R4, were 8.4 and 5.9, respectively. R2 and R4 also were resistant to mesosulfuron-methyl, pinoxaden, quizalofop and clethodim. R4 was resistant to diuron, but R2 was not. An Asp-2078-Gly substitution in the ACCase gene was found in both R2 and R4 populations, while another Ile-2041-Asn substitution in the ACCase gene was found in the R4 population. These mutations explain the ACCase cross resistance in the R2 and R4 populations. The mechanisms for the glyphosate resistance in the CT population and the flufenacet resistance in R1, R2, R3 and R4 populations were not identified in this study. None of the five populations were resistant to the herbicide pyroxasulfone.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbicide-resistant weeds provide a unique system in which to study the evolution of adaptive traits. The selection pressures, adaptive traits, and often the underlying basis for herbicide resistance are typically known, allowing for studies of adaptive variation across large agricultural landscapes that vary in selection pressures and intensities over space and time. In the last several years, populations of Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum (Lam.) in orchards and vineyards of northwest California were suspected of evolving resistance to the herbicides glyphosate and glufosinate. Earlier work identified that a non-synonymous mutation in 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene is responsible for glyphosate resistance in the Central Valley of California. The research presented in this dissertation characterizes phenotypes resistant to glyphosate and glufosinate and examines the evolution of glyphosate resistance in northwest California populations of L. perenne ssp. multiflorum using neutral genetic diversity and adaptive genetic variation, to gain a greater understanding of contemporary adaptive evolution across landscapes. In Chapter 1, I measure the frequency of glyphosate-resistant and glufosinate-resistant individuals in 14 populations of L. perenne across three screening times and measure the population-average level of resistance in selected populations. The analysis demonstrates that while both glyphosate- and glufosinate-resistant individuals are present in northwest California with distinct mechanisms conferring resistance to each herbicide, these resistance phenotypes are variable over time, especially for glufosinate. In Chapter 2, using microsatellite genetic variation at 12 loci in the sampled individuals, I show that California L. perenne contains high genetic diversity and admixture across populations, with a potential for spread of glyphosate resistance through gene flow. In Chapter 3, I genotype adaptive genetic variation in the sampled individuals and identified four distinct glyphosate-resistant EPSPS alleles at codon site 106, indicating multiple evolutionary origins of glyphosate resistance in the region, although resistance in some populations cannot be explained by EPSPS mutations at site 106. Together, these results demonstrate that the evolution of adaptive traits across a landscape can be quite complex, with variable phenotypes conferred by multiple independent evolutionary origins of the same adaptive trait with subsequent spread through gene flow.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian ryegrass is the most problematic weed of small grains in North Carolina. This weed has traditionally been controlled in wheat with diclofop. However, after many years of continuous use, much of the Italian ryegrass in the state is now resistant to diclofop. A field experiment was conducted at three locations to determine control of Italian ryegrass and response of imidazolinone-tolerant wheat to imazamox and other herbicides. Imazamox ammonium salt applied POST in the fall to 3- to 4-leaf Italian ryegrass at 35 to 53 g ae/ha controlled Italian ryegrass 90 to 100% 10 weeks after treatment. Late-season control ranged from 83 to 98% at two locations and 24 to 55% at the third location. Late-season control from spring-applied imazamox on 1- to 3-tiller ryegrass ranged from 53 to 58% at one location and 7 to 16% at the other locations. Split application of imazamox at 27 g/ha in the fall and 27 g/ha in the spring was less effective than fall-applied imazamox at 53 g/ha at two of three locations. However, split application was more effective than spring application. Fall-applied imazamox was less effective than fall-applied diclofop on diclofop-susceptible Italian ryegrass but more effective on mixed populations of diclofop-resistant and -susceptible biotypes. Pendimethalin applied PRE at 1120 g ai/ha increased late-season control 10 to 33 percentage points when used in combination with fall-applied imazamox at 35 g/ha. Imazethapyr ammonium salt at 70 g ae/ha was less effective than imazamox, while imazethapyr at 47 g/ha plus imazapyr isopropylamine salt at 16 g ae/ha and imazamox were similarly effective. Imazapic ammonium salt at 70 g ae/ha and imazamox at 53 g/ha were similarly effective at two locations, while imazapic was more effective at the third location. Imidazolinone herbicides caused only minor, temporary chlorosis on the wheat. In greenhouse experiments, a diclofop-susceptible biotype of Italian ryegrass was more sensitive to imazamox than a diclofop-

This book was released on 2007 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A suspected glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum ) (OR) population was collected from a filbert (Corylus avellana L.) orchard near Portland, OR. Based on the dose-response experiments conducted in the greenhouse, it was found that the suspected glyphosate-resistant population was approximately fivefold more resistant to glyphosate than the susceptible (S) population. Furthermore, it was found that the S population accumulated between three and five times more shikimic acid than the OR population, confirming its resistance to glyphosate. The mechanisms conferring glyphosate resistance in two glyphosate-resistant L. multiflorum populations, one from Oregon, USA (OR), and one from Chile (SF), were also studied. Based on a Petri dish dose-response bioassay, the OR and the SF populations were two and fivefold more resistant to glyphosate when compared to the S population, respectively; however, based on a whole-plant dose-response bioassay, both OR and SF populations were fivefold more resistant to glyphosate than the S population. The S population accumulated two and three times more shikimic acid in leaf tissue 96 h after glyphosate application than the glyphosate-resistant OR and SF populations, respectively. There were no differences between the S and the glyphosate-resistant OR and SF populations in 14C-glyphosate leaf uptake; however, the patterns of 14C-glyphosate translocation were significantly different. In the OR population, a greater percentage of 14C-glyphosate absorbed by the plant moved distal to the treated section and accumulated in the tip of the treated leaf. In contrast, in the S and in the SF populations, a greater percentage of 14C-glyphosate moved to the untreated leaves and the stem. cDNA sequence analysis of the EPSP synthase gene indicated that the SF population has a proline 106 to serine amino acid substitution, which has been previously shown to confer moderate levels of glyphosate resistance. We confirmed glyphosate resistance in two different L. multiflorum populations, and found that they have different mechanisms of resistance. The OR population has limited glyphosate translocation while the SF population has a mutation of the EPSP synthase gene.
