INTRODUCTION BURNING NETTLE Burning Nettle (Urtica urens) is a dicot weed in the Urticaceae family.  In Victoria this weed first evolved resistance to Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides in 2002 and infests Vegetables.   Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides are known as PSII inhibitors - Serine 264 Binders (Inhbition of Photosynthesis at PSll - Serine 264 Binders ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to atrazine, prometryne, and simazine and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

Studying herbicides of the sulphonyl-urea class and their metabolites using the method of time-of-flight plasma desorption mass-spectrometry with ionization by fission fragments of ²⁵²Cf (TOF-PDMS).

In tests of a new method of rapid screening of plants differing in their specific sensitivity to sulphonylurea herbicides using ²⁵²TOF-PDMS, analyses were made of the dynamics of accumulation of enzymic-chemical destruction products and conjugates of metsulfuron-methyl with biomolecules in model systems comprising unpurified homogenates from leaves (biomatrices) of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), small nettle (Urtica urens), couch (Elytrigia repens [Elymus repens]) and wheat (cv. Akhtyrchanka) incubated with the herbicide. On the basis of this work, in terms of their resistance to the chemical, the plants were ranged in the order wheat>couch>>nettle and dandelion..

This paper was presented at the 40th international symposium on crop protection. In trials in the Netherlands from 1982-87, triazine-resistant Senecio vulgaris was effectively controlled in nurseries of conifers, ornamental shrubs, forest trees, grafted apple trees and roses by 0.5 kg isoxaben/ha, 3-4 kg napropamide and 3 kg oxadiazon, applied in Feb. or 3 kg oxadiazon or 1 kg fomesafen applied in Mar. Some regrowth and germination occurred after Mar. applications of 2.5-3 kg metazachlor and 2.5-3 kg chlorotoluron. Napropamide, isoxaben, oxadiazon and fomesafen performed best against Amaranthus spp. and oxadiazon, fomesafen and particularly metazachlor were the most effective against Epilobium ciliatum and Solanum nigrum. Isoxaben provided excellent control of Veronica spp., Lamium spp., Viola arvensis and Urtica urens, was good against S. nigrum but was ineffective against annual grasses. Fomesafen was too phytotoxic for the grafted apple trees and metazachlor and oxadiazon induced some growth redardation in apples and roses. The high persistance of napropamide and isoxaben may cause problems for succeeding crops. In container-grown ornamental conifers, 0.3-0.5 kg isoxaben, preferably combined with 1 kg propyzamide or 1.5-2 kg lenacil is recommended for control of Stellaria media and shows promise for control of Sagina procumbens, Cardamine hirsuta, and Peplis portula. The propyzamide mixture is recommended where Poa annua, Juncus bufonius and Marchantia polymorpha are expected..
