HRAC GROUP 9 (LEGACY G) RESISTANT HAIRY FLEABANE
(Conyza bonariensis)


Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase HRAC Group 9 (Legacy G)

South Africa, Western Cape
INTRODUCTION HAIRY FLEABANE
Hairy Fleabane (Conyza bonariensis) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In South Africa this weed first evolved resistance to Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides in 2003 and infests Grapes, and Orchards.   Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase (Inhibition of EPSP synthase).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to glyphosate and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 9 (Legacy G) 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

Andrew Cairns
Conyza bonariensis in the Western Cape.

In January 2003 reports were received from the Breede Valley (about 100km north east of Cape Town) of glyphosate failing to control Conyza bonariensis at registered dosage rates. Seed from plants growing in a deciduous fruit orchard in the area were collected and germinated in pots. The seedlings were subsequently transplanted into pots and a month later the plants were subjected to a dose response trial with glyphosate. A control population of the C. bonariensis derived from seed collected from a population of the weed growing at Stellenbosh University’s experimental farm, Welgevallen, was similarly treated. At the time of spraying, the plants had 10-12 leaves and were still in the rosette stage. The weeds were subjected to a range of glyphosate dosage rates viz. 0.36, 0.72, 1.08, 1.44, 2.16, 2.88, and 3.60 kg a.e. glyphosate ha-1. Four replicates per treatment were used.

From the results of this dose response trial (Table 1), it is clear that the Breede Valley population was not controlled at all at the registered dosage rate (1.08kg a.e. glyphosate ha-1) and only 17% of the weeds were controlled at twice the registered dose of glyphosate. The control (Welgevallen) population was fully controlled at all dosage rates above 0.36 kg a.e glyphosate ha-1. The trial was rated 56 days after treatment.

Subsequent screening has identified 3 more glyphosate-resistant populations of C. bonariensis (all from the Breede Valley). Work is in progress to map the extent of glyphosate resistant populations of C. bonariensis in the Western Cape and to identify cost effective control strategies.
