INTRODUCTION TOOTHED DOCK
Toothed Dock (Rumex dentatus) is a dicot weed in the Polygonaceae family.  In India this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2014 and infests 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 florasulam, iodosulfuron-methyl-Na, mesosulfuron-methyl, and pyroxsulam 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

Rajender Chhokar

Metsulfuron resistance in Rumex dentatus

Rumex dentatus (Toothed dock) is a major broadleaf weed of Rabi season and is a serious problem of irrigated wheat particularly of rice-wheat system. This weed is highly competitive and besides reducing the yield also interferes with combine harvesting. Rumex dentatus is highly sensitive to metsulfuron and this herbicide is providing effective control of this weed for the last 15 years in wheat in India. However, during 2013 in pot and field studies it was observed that one of the population of Rumex dentatus has evolved metsulfuron resistance (ALS inhibition). It has shown the cross-resistance to mesosulfuron + Iodosulfuron, pyroxsulam, halauxifen + florasulam. For its control, carfentrazone, 2,4-D amine, pendimethalin and isoproturon were found effective.
