INTRODUCTION AFRICAN TURNIPWEED African Turnipweed (Sisymbrium thellungii) is a dicot weed in the Brassicaceae family.  In Queensland this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1996 and infests Cereals, and 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 chlorsulfuron 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.

Studies showed that at least 6 weeds found in the grain region of north-east Australia evolved resistance to one or other of the herbicides chlorsulfuron and atrazine. Two collections of Rapistrum rugosum, three of Sisymbrium orientale, five of Sonchus oleraceus, one of Fallopia convolvulus and one of Sisymbrium thellungii were resistant to the recommended rate of chlorsulfuron (15 g a.i. ha^-1). Resistance to chlorsulfuron was not discovered in three collections of Sisymbrium irio, two of Brassica tournefortii, three of Emex australis and 11 of Phalaris paradoxa. Two collections of Urochloa panicoides were resistant, and three collections possibly resistant, to the recommended rate of atrazine (1.8 kg a.i. ha^-1). Resistance to atrazine was not found in 12 collections of Hibiscus trionum, nine of Salvia reflexa, two of Parthenium hysterophorus, two of Amaranthus viridis and 14 of Echinochloa colona. The resistance status of four weeds (R. rugosum, F. convolvulus, S. thellungii and U. panicoides) was confirmed using a multiple concentration-response screen and is the first report of resistance for these species. Herbicide usage records showed that resistance has developed after 3-10 years of selection with chlorsulfuron, and 2-15 years of selection with atrazine, with no correlation between the frequency of use and the degree of resistance for any of the species where eight or more collections were made..

Wills, D. A. ; Walker, S. R. ; Adkins, S. W.. 1996. Herbicide resistant weeds from the north-east grain region of Australia. : 126 - 129.

Herbicide resistant weeds are increasing throughout the world. Recently, weeds resistant to sulfonylurea herbicides have been discovered in Australia and in the north-east grain region. In order to find populations of winter and summer weeds which are resistant to various herbicides a survey was commenced. Seed were collected and screened against the herbicide to which resistance was suspected and results were recorded. At some sites the winter weeds, Fallopia convolvulus (L.) A. Love, Sisymbrium orientale L. Sisymbrium thellungii O. Schultz and Sonchus oleraceus L. had individuals resistant to chlorsulfuron. The summer weed Urochloa panicoides Beauv. was shown to have individuals resistant to atrazine. However some populations of U. panicoides with no previous history of atrazine use had individuals with resistance to atrazine. This survey has shown that resistance of weeds to herbicides is widespread throughout the north-east grain region..
