Enhanced rates of herbicide metabolism in low herbicide-dose selected resistant lolium rigidum

Lolium rigidum is an obligately cross-pollinated, genetically diverse species and an economically important herbicide resistance-prone weed. Our previous work has demonstrated that recurrent selection of initially susceptible L. rigidum populations with low herbicide rates results in rapid herbicide resistance evolution.

Simulation modelling identifies polygenic basis of herbicide resistance in a weed population and predicts rapid evolution of herbicide resistance at low herbicide rates

Roberto Busi weighs seeds in lab

The potential for low rates of diclofop-methyl to result in rapid evolution of herbicide resistance in a herbicide-susceptible Lolium rigidum (annual ryegrass) population was demonstrated in a recent cropfield study.
