The result showed that flixweed biomass, leaf area index and seed Production growing with different varieties were different. Flixweed growing with wheat varieties in a strong competitive ability was poor , wheat grain yield was higher. This trend enhanced with higher density of winter wheat, When wheat varieties in stronger competitive ability were planted in a field where many flixweeds existed , wheat yield loss caused by flixweed infestation could decrease.展开更多

In this study, a flixweed accession（Hebei 25, HB25） with an Asp-376-Glu mutation in acetohydroxy acid synthase（AHAS） was identified and purified. The purified HB25 accession（p HB25） developed 758.1-fold resistance to tribenuron-methyl and exhibited obvious cross-resistance to four AHAS-inhibiting herbicides. The resistant/susceptible（R/S） ratios of 50% plant growth reduction（GR_（50）） to herbicides of halosulfuron-methyl, flumetsulam, imazethapyr and pyribenzoxim were 346.1, 15.7, 8.1 and 7.1, respectively. The reduced AHAS sensitivities to four different AHAS-inhibiting herbicides, which were caused by the Asp-376-Glu mutation, were responsible for the resistance and cross-resistance to AHAS-inhibiting herbicides. The R/S ratios of 50% inhibition of AHAS activity（I50） to tribenuron-methyl, halosulfuron-methyl, flumetsulam, imazethapyr and pyribenzoxim were 844.5, 532.9, 74.5, 13.3 and 5.5, respectively. The results of AHAS activity in vitro were highly correlated with that of whole-plant response experiments.展开更多

Premix of pyrasulfotole & bromoxynil (Huskie?), a relatively new herbicide, was registered for use in wheat in 2008. Pyrasulfotole inhibits 4-hydoxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme in susceptible plants and is the first significant new mode of action for use in cereals for more than two decades. Field experiments were conducted from 2007 to 2010 at two locations in Kansas, USA to test the efficacy of pyrasulfotole & bromoxynil for broadleaf weed control and crop safety in winter wheat. Treatments included pyrasulfotole & bromoxynil alone at 253 g·ai·ha-1 and tank mixtures of pyrasulfotole & bromoxynil at 207 g·ai·ha-1 with MCPA at 280 g·ai·ha-1, dicamba at 140 g·ai·ha-1 or metsulfuron-methyl at 4.2 g·ai·ha-1. Herbicides were applied postemergence in fall and spring seasons. Pyrasulfotole & bromoxynil alone or in combination with tank-mix partners, regardless of application time, controlled flixweed, blue mustard, bushy wallflower and field pennycress 98% or more. Henbit control was better when pyrasulfotole & bromoxynil treatments were applied in fall than spring (≥98% vs ≥67%). Pyrasulfotole & bromoxynil alone applied in spring was not effective on wild buckwheat, but tank mixing with dicamba or metsulfuron-methyl controlled it 84% or more. Pyrasulfotole & bromoxynil alone or as tank mixture caused little (≤7%) or no injury to wheat and the injury did not influence wheat grain yields. Based on excellent control of broadleaf weeds evaluated, pyrasulfotole & bromoxynil is an alternative tool to control ALS-inhibitor resistant weeds in winter wheat. Fall season application and tank mixing with other herbicides are desirable for effective and broad spectrum weed control.展开更多
