INTRODUCTION PROSTRATE KNOTWEED
Prostrate Knotweed (Polygonum aviculare) is a dicot weed in the Polygonaceae family.  In Belgium this weed first evolved resistance to Group 34 (Legacy F3) herbicides in 1984 and infests Apples.   Group 34 (Legacy F3) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Lycopene Cyclase (Inhibition of Lycopene Cyclase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to amitrole and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 34 (Legacy F3) 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.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE

AREAS FOUND

Robert Bulcke
Resistant biotype occurred only in one long-term field experiment in apple orchard at Melle (East Flanders province)until 1995 when the experiment came to an end.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Field, Greenhouse, and Laboratory trials comparing a known susceptible Prostrate Knotweed biotype with this Prostrate Knotweed 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 34 resistant Prostrate Knotweed 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

The mechanism of resistance for this biotype is either unknown or has not been entered in the database.  If you know anything about the mechanism of resistance for this biotype then please update the database.
 
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 34 (Legacy F3) resistant Prostrate Knotweed from Belgium please update the database.
