Abstract

Seeds of a suspected glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed biotype from Lauderdale County, TN, were collected from a continuous cotton field in fall 2007 after plants were nonresponsive to multiple glyphosate applications. The objectives of this research were to (1) confirm resistance by quantifying the response of the putative resistant biotype to glyphosate compared to a susceptible biotype from a nonagricultural area, (2) quantify shikimate accumulation over time in both biotypes, and (3) determine the effectiveness of POST-applied herbicides labeled for use in cotton in controlling both biotypes at three growth stages. The susceptible biotype had a 50% lethal dose of 407 g ae/ha of glyphosate compared with 2,176 g/ha for the resistant biotype when treated at the four-node stage, a 5.3-fold level of resistance. The resistant biotype accumulated 3.3- to 9.8-fold less shikimate than the susceptible biotype at 1 to 7 d after treatment. The resistant biotype was less responsive to glyphosate as treatment was delayed past the two-node stage, much more than the susceptible biotype. Glufosinate, MSMA, and diuron controlled both biotypes by at least 90%, regardless of size at application. Prometryn, flumioxazin, carfentrazone-ethyl, fomesafen, and trifloxysulfuron controlled both biotypes by at least 89% when applied at the two-node stage, but control generally diminished with later application timings. Pyrithiobac was not effective in controlling either biotype, regardless of size at application. Hence, there are effective herbicide options for controlling glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed in cotton, and the resistant biotype does not appear to exhibit multiple resistances to other herbicides.

En un campo de algodón del condado de Lauderdale, TN, semillas de Ambrosia trifida sospechosas de ser resistentes a glifosato, fueron recolectadas en otoño de 2007, después de que las plantas no respondieron a múltiples aplicaciones de glifosato. Los objetivos de esta investigación fueron (a) confirmar resistencia a través de cuantificar la respuesta del biotipo que se cree resistente a glifosato, comparado con un biotipo susceptible de un área no agrícola, (b) cuantificar en ambos biotipos la acumulación de shikimato a través del tiempo, y (c) determinar la efectividad de la post-aplicación de herbicidas (indicados para el cultivo de algodón), en el control de ambos biotipos en tres etapas de crecimiento de la planta. El biotipo susceptible tuvo una LD (dosis letal)50 de 407 g ae/ha de glifosato comparado con los 2176 para el biotipo resistente (un nivel de resistencia 5.3 veces mayor), cuando fue tratado en la etapa de cuatro nudos. De 1 a 7 días después de la aplicación del tratamiento, el biotipo resistente acumuló de 3.3 a 9.8 veces menos shikimato que el biotipo susceptible. En la medida que la aplicación de glifosato se retrasó más allá de la etapa del segundo nudo, el biotipo resistente tuvo menor reacción al herbicida, comparado con el biotipo susceptible. Glufosinato, MSMA y diuron controlaron ambos biotipos al menos en un 90%, sin tomar en cuenta el tamaño de la planta al momento de la aplicación. Prometrina, flumioxazina, carfentrazone-etil, fomesafen y trifloxysulfuron controlaron ambos biotipos en al menos un 89%, cuando se aplicaron en la etapa de dos nudos; sin embargo, el control generalmente disminuyó con aplicaciones tardías. El pyrithiobac no fue efectivo en controlar ninguno de los biotipos, indistintamente del tamaño al momento de la aplicación. De este trabajo se desprende que en cultivos de algodón, hay opciones de herbicidas efectivos para controlar la Ambrosia trifida resistente al glifosato y que el biotipo resistente, no parece exhibir resistencia múltiple a otros herbicidas.
