INTRODUCTION DENSE-FLOWERED FUMITORY
Dense-flowered Fumitory (Fumaria densiflora) is a dicot weed in the Fumariaceae family.  In New South Wales this weed first evolved resistance to Group 3 (Legacy K1) herbicides in 1999 and infests Canola, and Cereals.   Group 3 (Legacy K1) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Microtubule Assembly (Inhibition of Microtubule Assembly ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to trifluralin and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 3 (Legacy K1) 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

Gertraud Norton
Fumaria densiflora is a weed commonly occurring in crops in southern New South Wales and South Australia. Its control in crops like conventional canola and legumes can be difficult once it has emerged. In 1999, two morphlogically and phenologically different biotypes were identified as being resistant to trifluralin.They evolved in similar situations with frequent applications of trifluralin during the past 10 to 15 years. Repeat trials in 2000 confirmed the relative difference between susceptible and resistant biotypes. However,an overall greater efficacy of trifluralin and pendimethalin could be observed in that year. It is suspected that this was due to higher average temperatures during the initial trial period which might have increased the effectiveness of the herbicides while at the same time being too high for optimum germination of this fumitory species. A number of other accessions which were tested in 1999 were clearly also showing a tendency for reduced susceptibility in comparison with the susceptible control.
