Resistance of Echinochloa crusgalli var. mitis to Imazapyr+Imazapic Herbicide and Alternative Control in Irrigated Rice

ABSTRACT: The introduction of Clearfield® system for irrigated rice production provided an effective management strategy in the selective control of weeds. However, the selection pressure caused by the continuous use of herbicides such as imazapyr+imazapic belonging to the imidazolinone chemical group, without the proper integrated management of weeds, has favored the selection of resistant accessions. The goals of this work were to confirm the resistance to ALS inhibitors in accessions of E. crusgalli var. mitis collected in rice fields of the state of Rio Grande do Sul and to evaluate the control with alternative herbicides registered for weed control. Three experiments were conducted in a greenhouse using plant seeds that survived the application of the herbicide imazapyr+imazapic, collected in irrigated rice producing regions with suspected resistance escapes. For dose-response curve study, three resistant accessions (ECH1 - Pelotas/Rio Grande do Sul, ECH27 - Arroio Grande/Rio Grande do Sul and ECH38 - Rio Grande/Rio Grande do Sul) and two susceptible accessions (ECH14 - Pelotas/Rio Grande do Sul and ECH44 - Rio Grande / Rio Grande do Sul) (factor A) and 11 doses of the herbicide imazapyr+imazapic (factor B) were selected. The results indicate that barnyardgrass resistant accessions present a high resistance level to imazapyr+imazapic. ALS inhibiting herbicides such as imazethapyr+imazapic, bispyribac-sodium and penoxsulam did not control the resistant accessions either. Integrated weed management should be adopted and alternative mechanisms of action as ACCAse (cyhalofop-butyl, profoxydim and clethodim) and EPSPS (glyphosate) inhibitors are still eficients controlling barnyardgrass ALS resistant accessions.
