HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT BUR CHERVIL
(Anthriscus caucalis)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Germany
INTRODUCTION BUR CHERVIL
Bur Chervil (Anthriscus caucalis) is a dicot weed in the Apiaceae family.  In Germany this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2017 and infests Winter 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, metsulfuron-methyl, thifensulfuron-methyl, and tribenuron-methyl 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.

Abstract

 Weeds of the umbelliferous family (Apiaceae) are gaining importance in several crops and regions and are often difficult to control chemically. For example, the occurrence of bur chervil (Anthriscus caucalis M. Bieb.) is not only increasing as a ruderal plant, but is also establishing as an arable weed in winter crops. There, it is often not sufficiently controlled by standard measures and beyond that frequently confused with other weedy umbellifers. In addition, the first A. caucalis populations with resistance to inhibitors of the acetolactate synthase (ALS) have been described. For this reason, we sequenced the ALS gene of a sensitive and a resistant A. caucalis population and found a mutation at position Pro197. This population was compared with a sensitive one, as well as other umbellifers such as hedge parsley (Torilis arvensis (Huds.) Link), wild carrot (Daucus carota L.) and hemlock (Conium maculatum L.) in a greenhouse trial with 14 herbicides. There were clear differences between the treatments of sensitive and resistant A. caucalis and the other umbellifers. The sensitive A. caucalis population was effectively controlled by the ALS inhibitors thifensulfuron, tribenuron and metsulfuron, but not by florasulam. Of these herbicides, only metsulfuron had a partial efficacy on the resistant population with 71.8% freshwater reduction. Notably, the efficacy profiles of ALS inhibitors differed significantly between species, while several synthetic auxins and chlortoluron effectively controlled most populations tested. Finally, the correct identification of the umbellifer species, as well as the resistance status, is necessary to carry out targeted chemical control.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Greenhouse, and Laboratory trials comparing a known susceptible Bur Chervil biotype with this Bur Chervil 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 Bur Chervil 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 Bur Chervil from Germany 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 Bur Chervil from Germany please update the database.
