Auxin Mimics HRAC Group 4 (Legacy O)

Canada, Ontario
INTRODUCTION WILD CARROT
Wild Carrot (Daucus carota) is a dicot weed in the Apiaceae family.  In Ontario this weed first evolved resistance to Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides in 1957 and infests Roadsides.   Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides are known as Auxin Mimics (Auxin Mimics ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to 2,4-D and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 4 (Legacy O) 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.

HISTORY - FIRST CASE

Shane Friesen
2,4-D resistant wild carrot populations were first reported by Switzer in 1957 (see Switzer, C.M., 1957. The existence of 2,4-D resistant wild carrot. Proc. N.C.W.C.C. 9:75-77).

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Greenhouse trials comparing a known susceptible Wild Carrot biotype with this Wild Carrot 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 4 resistant Wild Carrot 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 Group 4 (Legacy O) resistant Wild Carrot from Ontario please update the database.
