Mayweed chamomile (Anthemis cotula L.) is an annual weed in the Asteraceae family that is commonly found in fields of the Pacific Northwest. Acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides are frequently used to control a broad spectrum of weed species including mayweed chamomile. Seeds of four biotypes of mayweed chamomile (KJ, KL1,...
Understanding the mechanism of resistance, relative fitness and competitiveness of herbicide resistant biotypes is important to predict population dynamics and to establish resistance management strategies. This study was conducted to determine the level of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors and the mechanism of resistance of ALS-inhibitor resistant downy brome...
