Introduction About this page
There are currently 23 different types (known as 'biotypes') of herbicide resistant weeds in California. The first herbicide resistant weed reported from California is Common Groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) with resistance to atrazine, reported in 1981. Local weed scientists estimate that there are 1,820 sites and more than 204,500 acres infested with herbicide resistant weeds in California and they infest almonds, asparagus, barley, onion, railways, rice, roadsides, vineyards, and wheat. The most widespread resistant weed of California is Redstem (Ammania auriculata), which infests an estimated 10001-100000 acres and is found primarily in rice. Hairy Fleabane (Conyza bonariensis), with resistance to glyphosate, and paraquat is the most recently discovered (2009) new type of resistant weed in California.

Herbicide resistance is the inherited ability of a plant to survive and reproduce following exposure to a dose of herbicide that would normally be lethal to the wild type. In a plant, resistance may occur naturally due to selection or it may be induced through such techniques as genetic engineering. Resistance may occur in plants as the result of random and infrequent mutations; there has been no evidence to date that demonstrates herbicide-induced mutation. Through selection, where the herbicid.
