GROUP G/9 RESISTANT RESCUEGRASS
(Bromus catharticus)

EPSP synthase inhibitors (G/9)

Argentina, Buenos Aires Province

INTRODUCTION		RESCUEGRASS
Rescuegrass (Bromus catharticus) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family. In Argentina this weed first evolved resistance to Group G/9 herbicides in 2017 and infests Fallow, Wheat, and Winter barley. Group G/9 herbicides are known as EPSP synthase inhibitors (Inhibition of EPSP synthase). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to glyphosate and they may be cross-resistant to other Group G/9 herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

Rolston, M. P. ; Archie, W.. 1999. Wild oat control and tolerance of grass seed crops to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. Proceedings of the Fifty Second New Zealand Plant Protection Conference, Auckland Airport Centra, Auckland, New Zealand, 10-12 August, 1999 : 218 - 222.

Three field experiments were conducted in New Zealand. In the first trial (1995), Fenoxaprop P-ethyl [fenoxaprop-P], a wild oat (Avena sativa) herbicide, was applied to five grass species (Lolium perenne cv. Grasslands Nui, L. multiflorum cv. Concord, Bromus willdenowii [B. catharticus] cv. Grasslands Matua, Bromus stamineus cv. Grasslands Gala and Phalaris aquatica cv. Grasslands Maru). L. perenne was tolerant to 37 g/ha, but there was a trend for a reduction in seed yield at 75 g/ha. The two Bromus species had good tolerance, but P. aquatica seed yields were reduced by 80%. In the second trial (1996-97), fenoxaprop P-ethyl applied at 56 g/ha had no significant effect on seed yield of perennial and hybrid ryegrass cultivars (Yatsyn and Grasslands Impact, respectively). However, there was a trend for 75 g/ha to reduce seed yield in the perennial ryegrass. In the third experiment (1997) involving L. perenne cv. Verdette, wild oats were very competitive, reducing seed yields from 2600 kg/ha (best herbicide treatment) to 660 kg/ha in the untreated control. Excellent wild oat control was achieved with fenoxaprop P-ethyl at rates of 45 g/ha in August and 56 g/ha in September..
