Introduction About this page
There are currently 10 different types (known as 'biotypes') of herbicide resistant weeds in North Dakota. The first herbicide resistant weed reported from North Dakota is Kochia (Kochia scoparia) with resistance to chlorsulfuron, and metsulfuron-methyl, reported in 1987. Local weed scientists estimate that there are 1,820 sites and more than 1,513,100 acres infested with herbicide resistant weeds in North Dakota and they infest cereals, corn, cropland, soybean, sunflower, and wheat. The most widespread resistant weed of North Dakota is Kochia (Kochia scoparia), which infests an estimated 1-2 million acres and is found primarily in cropland, and wheat. Marshelder (Iva xanthifolia), with resistance to imazamox, and tribenuron-methyl is the most recently discovered (2003) new type of resistant weed in North Dakota.

FACT SHEETS AND OTHER LITERATURE

Format
  
2000 North Dakota Weed Control Guide - Herbicide Resistance.
Richard K. Zollinger (2000)
North Dakota State University
 
Herbicide resistance (R) occurs from repeated use of a herbicide that eliminates susceptible (S) weed species and allows R weed species to increase in the absence of competition from the S plant species. Genetically diverse weed species may contain a small percentage of plants that are R to herbicides having the same mode of action. Repeated exposure of a weed population to a herbicide may result in a rapid buildup of weed resistance to that class of herbicides. R types may dominate over time du.
