INTRODUCTION SPOTTED KNAPWEED
Spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe ssp. micranthos) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In British Columbia this weed first evolved resistance to Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides in 2013 and infests Rangeland.   Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides are known as Auxin Mimics (Auxin Mimics ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to clopyralid, and picloram and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 4 (Legacy O) 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.

First report: spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe) resistance to auxinic herbicides

Amy R. Mangin and Linda M. Hall

Abstract: Spotted knapweed is a prohibited noxious weed that is primarily controlled with auxinic herbicides. A population collected from a managed rangeland in East Kootenay, BC, was highly resistant to both clopyralid and picloram, with R/S ratios of >25 600 and 28, respectively. This is the first report of resistance in spotted knapweed.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Greenhouse trials comparing a known susceptible Spotted knapweed biotype with this Spotted knapweed 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 4 resistant Spotted knapweed 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 4 (Legacy O) resistant Spotted knapweed from British Columbia please update the database.
