Diante disso, foram desenvolvidos experimentos que tiveram como objetivo confirmar a resistência de biótipos de D. insularis perenizados e propagados vegetativamente resistentes ao glyphosate, bem como, compreender o perfil metabólico do herbicida nestas plantas, verificar se existe alteração no controle relativo em função dos métodos de propagação empregados e determinar o fator de resistência nas progênies obtidas por sementes autofecundadas. Foram realizados três experimentos em casa de vegetação no delineamento inteiramente casualizado, sendo os dois primeiros com oito biótipos de capim-amargoso considerados como suscetíveis e três com suspeita de resistência ao herbicida glyphosate. No primeiro experimento foi avaliado o controle das plantas aos 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias após a aplicação (DAA) do glyphosate. No segundo experimento, avaliou-se o controle nas mesmas épocas do primeiro e 72 horas após a aplicação do herbicida foi quantificado o acúmulo de ácido chiquímico e ácido quínico, deposição, absorção e translocação de glyphosate, concentração de AMPA, dos aminoácidos aromáticos (fenilalanina, tirosina e triptofano) e ácido salicílico. No terceiro experimento foram conduzidas curvas de dose-resposta com glyphosate nas doses de 0; 90; 180; 360; 720; 1440; 2880 e 5760 g e.a. ha-1, na progênie de quatro biótipos, e foram avaliados o controle e a massa seca aos 21 DAA para obtenção do fator de resistência. O método de propagação vegetativa se mostrou consistente e não alterou a resposta dos biótipos nos testes de fitointoxicação por glyphosate. Confirmou-se a resistência dos três biótipos pelo controle visual e acúmulo de ácido chiquímico e quínico. A metabolização em AMPA não é considerada mecanismo de resistência da espécie ao glyphosate. Os biótipos resistentes apresentaram maior concentração de ácido salicílico. As progênies obtidas por autofecundação apresentaram fator de resistência para EC50 de 14,37 e 7,04 e para GR50 12,79 e 3,77. / Digitaria insularis ocurrence infestations in annual crop and cases of glyphosate herbicide resistance have increased in recent years, and the facts contributed to make the species one of the most important weeds in Brazil. Therefore, experiments were carried out to confirm the resistance of perennial and vegetatively propagated D. insularis biotypes resistant to glyphosate, as well as to understand the metabolic profile of the herbicide in these plants, to verify if there is alteration in the relative control according to the methods and determine the resistance factor in the progenies obtained by self-fertilized seeds. Three experiments were carried out under greenhouse conditions in a completely randomized design, the first two with eight sourgrass biotypes considered as susceptible and three with suspected resistance to glyphosate herbicide. In the first experiment, the control of the plants at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after glyphosate application (DAA) was evaluated. In the second experiment, the control was evaluated in the same periods of the first and 72 hours after the application of the herbicide was quantified the accumulation of shiquimic acid and quinic acid, deposition, absorption and translocation of glyphosate, concentration of AMPA, aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan) and salicylic acid. In the third experiment, dose-response curves were conducted with glyphosate at doses of 0; 90; 180; 360; 720; 1440; 2880 and 5760 g e.a. ha-1 , in the progeny of four biotypes, and control and dry mass were evaluated at 21 DAA to obtain the resistance factor. The vegetative propagation method was consistent and did not alter the response of the biotypes in the glyphosate control tests. The resistance of the three biotypes was confirmed by the visual control and accumulation of shikimic and quinic acid. Metabolization in AMPA is not considered a resistance mechanism of the species to glyphosate. Resistant biotypes showed higher concentration of salicylic acid. The progenies obtained by self-fertilization presented a resistance factor for EC50 of 14,37 and 7,04 and for GR50 12,79 and 3,77.

Thesis (MScAgric)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Conyza bonariensis (flaxleaf fleabane) was reported for the first time, as a weed in California in 1893-1896. The first report of the occurrence of this weed in South Africa was made in May 1895 in Franschoek, South Africa. Paraquat resistance in C. bonariensis was first reported in the 1970s and early 1980s when resistance was observed from vineyards and citrus plantations in Egypt. More recently a report of herbicide resistance in South Africa was made in January 2003 when resistance occurred in C. bonariensis in the Breede Valley, South Africa. The resistance was to glyphosate, but recently reports of resistance to glyphosate and paraquat were received. C. bonariensis seeds were found to be positively photoblastic and germinated only under unfiltered white light and red light whilst no germination occurred under far-red light and in the dark. The optimum temperature range for C. bonariensis seed was found to be between 15 and 30°C, with no germination occurring at 0-5°C and at 35- 40°C. Optimum germination occurred at the soil surface. No germination occurred at depths of 2 cm and deeper. Although the optimum temperature range was found to be the same for the different biotypes tested. However, germination was highest in the susceptible biotype. Since farmers first reported paraquat and glyphosate resistance in C. bonariensis in the Breede Valley, South Africa, reports of resistance increase every year. Seed collected from populations suspected of being resistant to paraquat and glyphosate were obtained from the Breede Valley and screened for resistance. To determine the easiest, quickest, and most effective method to screen for paraquat and glyphosate resistance, two tests were evaluated viz. the petri dish assay method and the whoIeplant dose-response method. Both screening methods identified paraquat and glyphosate resistant biotypes. The petri dish assay method was found to be a more rapid method of screening for resistance in C. bonariensis. During this study it was found that both paraquat and glyphosate resistance does occur in the Breede Valley. The effect of growth stage on the level of herbicide resistance in C. bonariensis was tested. Herbicides other than paraquat and glyphosate were tested to determine if they could be used to control resistant C. bonariensis seedlings. The alternative herbicides tested included MCPA and Sorgomil Gold 600. The four herbicides were sprayed at different leaf stages. During the study it was found that growth stage does play an important role in the level of herbicide resistance. It was found that the control of different herbicides decreased with an increase in growth stage. The different herbicides showed varying levels of control depending on growth stage and resistant profile. Overall MCPA gave the best control at all leaf stages tested. What is gratifying was the finding that every biotype tested could be controlled by at least one of the treatments applied. This means that the producer using the most appropriate herbicide applied at the optimum application stage will be able to control most if not all the resistant populations of C. bonariensis that occur in the Western Cape. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Conyza bonariensis (Kleinskraalhans) is vir die eerste keer as 'n onkruid gerapporteer in Kalifornia in 1893-1896. Die eerste waarneming van hierdie onkruid in Suid-Afrika is gemaak in Mei 189S in Franschoek. Parakwat weerstandbiedendheid in C. bonariensis is die eerste maal in die 1970s en vroeë 1980s waargeneem, toe weerstandbiedendheid opgemerk is in wingerde en sitrus plantasies in Egipte. Meer onlangs is 'n geval van onkruiddoder weerstandbiedendheid in Suid-Afrika aangemeld in Januarie 2003, toe 'n biotipe van C. bonariensis in die Breede Vallei weerstand-biedendheid getoon het teen 'n onkruiddoder. Die weerstand was teen glifosaat, maar onlangse berigte van weerstandbiedendheid teen glifosaat sowel as parakwat is ontvang. Daar is gevind dat die saadjies van C. bonariensis positief fotoblasties is en slegs ontkiem onder ongefiltreerde wit- en rooi lig, terwyl geen ontkieming voorkom onder ver-rooi lig en in die donker nie. Die optimum temperatuurreeks vir C. bonariensis saad is tussen IS en 30°C, met geen ontkieming wat by O-SoCen by 3S-40°C voorkom nie. Optimum ontkieming kom voor op die grondoppervlak. Geen ontkieming kom by dieptes van 2 cm of dieper voor nie. Alhoewel die optimum temperatuurreeks dieselfde is vir die verskillende biotipes wat getoets is, is daar tog 'n verskil in die persentasie ontkieming tussen die biotipes met die beste ontieming by die sensitiewe biotipe. Sedert boere die eerste geval van parakwat en glifosaat weerstandbiedendheid in C. bonariensis in die Breede Vallei, Suid-Afrika gerapporteer het, word meer gevalle van weerstandbiedendheid jaarliks aangemeld. Saad van populasies wat vermoedelik parakwat en glifosaat weerstandbiedend is, is in die Breede Vallei versamel en getoets vir weerstandbiedendheid. Om die maklikste, vinnigste en mees effektiewe metode van weerstandbiedendheidstoetsing te vind, is twee verskillende metodes van toetsing, naamlik die petribakkietoets en die heel plant dosis respons metode gebruik. Beide metodes van toetsing het parakwat en glifosaat weerstandbiedende biotipes geïdentifiseer. Daar is gevind dat die petri bakkie metode 'n vinniger manier van toetsing vir weerstandbiedendheid is. Die studie het ook bewys dat parakwat en glifosaat weerstandbiedendheid wel in die Breede Vallei, Suid-Afrika voorkom. Die effek van groeistadium op die vlak van onkruiddoder weerstandbiedendheid in C. bonariensis is ook tydens die studie getoets. Ander onkruiddoders buiten parakwat en glifosaat is getoets om te bepaal of hulle gebruik kan word vir die effektiewe beheer van weerstandbiedende C. bonariensis saailinge. Die alternatiewe onkruiddoders wat getoets is, was MCPA en Sorgomil Gold 600. Die vier onkruiddoders is gespuit by verskillende blaarstadiums. Gedurende die studie is daar gevind dat groeistadium wel 'n belangrike rol speel in die vlak van onkruiddoder weerstandbiedendheid. Die persentasie beheer van verskillende onkruiddoders neem af met 'n toename in die groeistadium. Die verskillende onkruiddoders se beheer het gewissel afhangend van weerstandbiedendheid en groeistadium. MCPA het die beste beheer by alle blaarstadiums wat getoets is getoon. Daar is ook gevind dat een of die ander van die onkruiddoders wat getoets is, gebruik kan word vir die suksesvolle beheer van onkruiddoder weerstandbiedendheid in elke biotipe wat getoets is. Dit beteken dat 'n produsent wat die korrekte onkruiddoder op die korrekte groeistadium toedien, in staat sal wees om die meeste, indien nie alle weestandbiedende C. bonariensis populasies wat in die Wes Kaap voorkom, te beheer.
