Sulfonylurea-Resistant Russian Thistle (Salsola iberica) Survey in Washington State

The repeated use of sulfonylurea (SU) herbicides to control broadleaf weeds in wheat fields and right-of-ways has selected for herbicide-resistant Russian thistle populations. A survey was conducted in 1991 and 1992 to ascertain the relative occurrence of SU-resistant Russian thistle in eastern Washington state. The 55 574 km2 survey area was divided into 149 equal sample areas. All sample areas were surveyed for Russian thistle and seed was collected from plants in 86 sample areas. No Russian thistle was found in the center of the remaining 63 sample areas. Seeds were collected, by plant, from 30 plants at each site. Site samples were tested in the greenhouse for resistance or susceptibility to chlorsulfuron. Populations that were either homogeneous or heterogeneous for chlorsulfuron-resistance were found in 70% of the sample areas and all of the plants were susceptible in 30% of the sample areas.
