HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT COMMON CHICKWEED
(Stellaria media)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Denmark
INTRODUCTION COMMON CHICKWEED
Common Chickweed (Stellaria media) is a dicot weed in the Caryophyllaceae family.  In Denmark this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1991 and infests Spring Barley, and Wheat.   Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase (Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to chlorsulfuron, florasulam, iodosulfuron-methyl-Na, and tribenuron-methyl and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 2 (Legacy B) 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.

April 2017 Update

For Stellaria media we now have 36 verified cases of resistance to SU herbicides. Six of these populations were also resistant to florasulam. Most of these cases are seed samples sent by farmers or consultants on suspicion of resistance. They have been tested in pot experiments including a susceptible and resistant reference population. In these tests tribenuron-methyl and florasulam have been applied in 4-6 doses. A survey on untreated plots in agricultural fields all over Denmark showed that S. media was resistant to SU herbicides in 15% of the fields.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Field, Greenhouse, and Laboratory trials comparing a known susceptible Common Chickweed biotype with this Common Chickweed biotype have been used to confirm resistance. For further information on the tests conducted please contact the local weed scientists that provided this information.
 
Genetics

Genetic studies on HRAC Group 2 resistant Common Chickweed have not been reported to the site.  There may be a note below or an article discussing the genetics of this biotype in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature
 
Mechanism of Resistance

Studies on the mechanism of resistance of Group 2 (Legacy B) resistant Common Chickweed from Denmark indicate that resistance is due to an altered target site.  There may be a note below or an article discussing the mechanism of resistance in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature
 
Relative Fitness

There is no record of differences in fitness or competitiveness of these resistant biotypes when compared to that of normal susceptible biotypes.  If you have any information pertaining to the fitness of Group 2 (Legacy B) resistant Common Chickweed from Denmark please update the database.
