HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT GIANT RAGWEED
(Ambrosia trifida)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, Illinois
INTRODUCTION GIANT RAGWEED
Giant Ragweed (Ambrosia trifida) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In Illinois this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1998 and infests Soybean.   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 cloransulam-methyl, and imazethapyr 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.

GENERAL

Paul Schmitzer
During the 1998 introduction of FirstRate herbicide (active ingredient cloransulam-methyl), isolated fields were identified with unexpectedly poor control of common and giant ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia and Ambrosia trifida, respectively) biotypes. Seed heads were collected in the fall of 1998 from selected fields, and plants were reared in the greenhouse. Plants which survived an application of cloransulam-methyl were assayed for ALS inhibition to cloransulam-methyl and other ALS inhibiting herbicide actives. Common ragweed from 20 sites and giant ragweed from 12 sites across the Midwest were found to be resistant to cloransulam-methyl. Some ALS samples extracted from plants which were resistant to cloransulam-methyl were also assayed for resistance to an imidazolinone and sulfonylurea herbicide. These samples represented about a third of the samples which were resistant to cloransulam-methyl and from each of the general geographic areas. In all of the samples assayed for cross resistance, resistance (approximately 1000-fold) was identified to all 3 chemistries. The molecular basis of this resistance has not been determined. No data is available to estimate the total number of acres affected by resistant ragweed since the samples analyzed were primarily from poor performance areas.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Field, Greenhouse, and Laboratory trials comparing a known susceptible Giant Ragweed biotype with this Giant Ragweed 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 Giant Ragweed 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 Giant Ragweed from Illinois 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 Giant Ragweed from Illinois please update the database.
