INTRODUCTION COMMON WATERPLANTAIN
Common Waterplantain (Alisma plantago-aquatica) is a monocot weed in the Alismataceae family.  In Italy this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1994 and infests Rice.   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 bensulfuron-methyl, and cinosulfuron 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.

GENERAL

Maurizio Sattin
There is a generalised cross resistance among the sulfonylureas (Azimsulfuron, Bensulfuron- methyl, Cinosulfuron, Ethoxysulfuron) as well as to the triazolopyrimidine (metosulam), but the level of resistance which appears to be very high for the sulfonylurea it is, in general, much lower for Metosulam. A few populations show very high level of resistance to both sulfonylureas and triazolopyrimidine. Although there is as yet no direct experimental proof, the available information suggests that the resistance mechanism could be a target-site. It is now estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 ha are affected. Most resistant populations come from Novara Province and were selected by bensulfuron -methyl. The field histories suggest that resistance developed in a paddy rice monoculture system after at least three-four years using an ALS inhibitor alone for controlling these two species. Generally, resistance has not developed where the weed control strategy is devised in relation to the presence of red rice.
