Rapid On-Farm Testing of Resistance in Lolium rigidum to Key Pre- and Post-Emergence Herbicides
Lolium rigidum (annual ryegrass) is a species that is prone to evolve resistance to a wide range of herbicide modes of action. Rapid detection of herbicide-resistant weed populations in the field can aid farmers to optimize the use of effective herbicides for their control.

Pyroxasulfone-Resistant Annual Ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) Has Enhanced Capacity for Glutathione Transferase-Mediated Pyroxasulfone Conjugation
The herbicide pyroxasulfone was widely introduced in 2012, and cases of evolved resistance in weeds such as annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaud.) and tall waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer] have started to emerge.

Herbicide resistance across the Australian continent
For the first time, resistance levels to stand-alone herbicides and binary mixtures are geographically ranked
across the Australian continent by benchmark statistical analysis of resistance frequencies and distribution. The extension of
these results will raise awareness of rapidly emerging patterns of herbicide resistance, encouraging the adoption of
cost-effective modes of action and integration of diverse strategies for weed resistance management.
