Abstract: Goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L) Gaertn) is a noxious weed in vegetable and fruit cultivation in Malaysia. Goosegrass biotypes resistant to aryloxyphenoxypropionate and cyclohexanedione herbicides have been reported in localised areas of Malaysia since 1989. However, this weed could be easily controlled by glyphosate at 720 g isopropylamine salt ha−1. In late 1997, a fruit grower in …
Abstract: Eleusine indica is one of the most common weed species found in agricultural land worldwide. Although herbicide-glyphosate provides good control of the weed, its frequent uses has led to abundant reported cases of resistance. Hence, the development of genetic markers for quick detection of glyphosate-resistance in E. indica population is imperative for the control …
Abstract: An Eleusine indica population was previously reported as the first global case of field‐evolved glufosinate resistance. This study re‐examines glufosinate resistance and investigates multiple resistance to other herbicides in the population. Dose–response experiments with glufosinate showed that the resistant population is 5‐fold and 14‐fold resistant relative to the susceptible population, based on GR50 and …
