HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT SILKY WINDGRASS
(Apera spica-venti)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Latvia, Riga
INTRODUCTION SILKY WINDGRASS
Silky Windgrass (Apera spica-venti) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Latvia this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2015 and infests Wheat, and Winter wheat.   Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase (Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to iodosulfuron-methyl-Na and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 2 (Legacy B) 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.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE

GENERAL

Jevgenija Necajeva

Apera spica-venti L. (common wind-grass / loose silky-bent) with ALS inhibitor Resistance in Latvia

Apera spica-venti L. is a monocotyledonous weed species, widespread in the entire territory of Latvia, mostly occurs in winter cereals. ALS inhibitors (B group according to HRAC classification) are the most commonly applied herbicides in Latvia, often B group herbicides are applied repeatedly (repeatedly in two years in 40% fields surveyed in the time period 2013-2015). Seed samples were collected in two locations in 2015. Resistance was tested in a greenhouse trial in one case and in a molecular test for TSR-related mutations in the other case. Greenhouse trial showed reduced efficacy (75-80%) of the full recommended dose of iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium. In the field where resistance was confirmed ALS inhibitors were applied in 4 years in the time period from 2011 to 2015.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Greenhouse, and Laboratory trials comparing a known susceptible Silky Windgrass biotype with this Silky Windgrass 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 resistant Silky Windgrass 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

Studies on the mechanism of resistance of Group 2 (Legacy B) resistant Silky Windgrass from Latvia 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 2 (Legacy B) resistant Silky Windgrass from Latvia please update the database.
