A study was conducted to evaluate two different families of ALS herbicides, imazapic (imidazolinone) and diclosulam (sulfonanilides) for absorption and mobility in the plant using 14C techniques. In order to evaluate multiple resistance, a PA accession was evaluated with pyrithiobac (ALS herbicide) and glyphosate. No differences were observed for the susceptible and resistant biotypes for the uptake of 14C-imazapic or 14C-diclosulam. However, imazapic exhibited greater translocation out of the treated leaf. There was no difference between translocation of 14C-diclosulam or 14C-imazapic for the ALS-resistant biotype, indicating similar herbicide absorption. For the multiple resistance evaluation, visual control rating I50 values for glyphosate-resistant and glyphosate/ALS resistant biotypes were at least 12-times greater than the I50 value for susceptible biotype. ALS-resistant and glyphosate/ALS resistant biotypes were at least 150-times greater than the I50 values for the glyphosate and ALS susceptible biotype when treated with pyrithiobac. Similar results occurred with the fresh biomass assessment. These data indicate that PA multiple herbicide resistance, and cross resistance to glyphosate and pyrithiobac does occur in Georgia. |
