{"title":"Inferring herbicide non‐target‐site cross‐resistance from dose response and mixture treatments","authors":"Chun Liu, Stephen R. Moss, Anastasia Perraki, Will Plumb, Shiv S. Kaundun","doi":"10.1002/ps.8658","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.8658","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUNDHerbicide cross‐resistance is of increasing concern because it compromises the effectiveness of both existing and new chemical options. However, a common misconception is that if a weed population shows dose–response shifts to two herbicides, it is cross‐resistant to both. The possibility that individual plants may possess different resistance mechanisms is often overlooked.RESULTSTo better characterise non‐target‐site cross‐resistance, we propose that the accession be treated with mixtures of the two herbicides of interest. A population model could be used to simulate the expected dose responses to the mixtures, assuming different cross‐resistance levels in the population, as well as synergistic or antagonistic effects between the two herbicides. The simulated responses can then be compared with the actual responses, and the cross‐resistance level approximated. We demonstrated this approach from a mathematical standpoint and validated it with experimental data from glasshouse tests on four well‐characterised biotypes of <jats:italic>Lolium multiflorum</jats:italic> and two commercial herbicides, clodinafop and iodosulfuron. Results also showed that understanding chemical interactions such as synergy and antagonism is crucial to a better estimate of cross‐resistance levels.CONCLUSIONBecause this method utilises standard dose–response tests, it is potentially easier and less time‐consuming than those involving plant cloning or divergent recurrent selection. Quick characterisation of the degree of cross‐resistance provides important insights as to whether chemical rotations or mixtures can still effectively control the weed population displaying resistances to multiple herbicides. This approach could be applied more broadly in cross‐resistance studies with other xenobiotics. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.","PeriodicalId":218,"journal":{"name":"Pest Management Science","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shiels","doi":"10.1002/ps.8672","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.8672","url":null,"abstract":"BackgroundRoof rats (<jats:italic>Rattus rattus</jats:italic>) are a substantial pest throughout citrus crops, yet little is known about efficacious, cost‐effective strategies to manage this rodent. Therefore, we developed two integrated pest management (IPM) programs that incorporated elevated bait stations containing diphacinone‐treated oats and trapping, and we compared those programs to a bait‐station only approach to determine which strategies were most practical for the management of roof rats in citrus orchards.ResultsBait applications substantially reduced rat activity within orchards. However, our initial IPM approach that used a combination of baiting, snap trapping and Goodnature® A24 traps were not successful at keeping rats from rapidly repopulating. A second IPM strategy that relied on baiting and more extensive snap trapping was effective at reducing rat activity up to, and likely beyond, a 6‐month treatment period. Although baiting by itself was less expensive than IPM plots, the difference in cost between baiting and the IPM approach that used only baiting and snap trapping should be minimal during long‐term management programs.ConclusionThe high efficacy of a management program that incorporates an initial bait application, followed by a long‐term snap‐trapping program, should yield effective management of roof rats in citrus orchards. © 2025 The Author(s). <jats:italic>Pest Management Science</jats:italic> published by John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.

This review synthesizes current knowledge on the impacts of urban proximity on agricultural plant pathogen pest dynamics, focusing on spatial distribution patterns, theoretical frameworks from landscape ecology, and the specific mechanisms driving these interactions. The urban heat island effect, habitat fragmentation, and human activities contribute to altered microclimates, reduced natural predator populations, and increased pest proliferation near settlements. Additionally, regulatory constraints on pest control near human communities further complicate management efforts. The role of urban environments as potential sources of agricultural pests is analyzed through empirical case studies, highlighting both predictable patterns and varying outcomes depending on specific local conditions. Gaps in understanding the movement of pests across urban–agricultural boundaries are discussed, alongside recommendations for future research aimed at enhancing pest control strategies in these complex landscapes. © 2025 The Author(s). <jats:italic>Pest Management Science</jats:italic> published by John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.","PeriodicalId":218,"journal":{"name":"Pest Management Science","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Resistance to the herbicides haloxyfop and iodosulfuron is common in commercial ryegrass (Lolium) seed lines","authors":"Christopher E Buddenhagen, Zachary Ngow, Ben Wynne‐Jones, M. Philip Rolston","doi":"10.1002/ps.8665","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.8665","url":null,"abstract":"BackgroundRyegrass (<jats:italic>Lolium</jats:italic> spp.) is a key forage providing a $14 billion contribution to New Zealand's gross domestic product (GDP). However, ryegrass can also act as a weed and evolve resistance to herbicides used for its control. Farmers suspected that imported seed might contribute to resistance issues. Herbicide resistance frequencies were investigated in commercial ryegrass seed lines intended for multiplication in New Zealand. Samples from 56 basic seed lots and 52 unique cultivars sourced from regions including New Zealand, United States, Europe and Japan were planted in field trials. Seedlings were then sprayed with three common herbicides: glyphosate, iodosulfuron, and haloxyfop. Surviving plants were retested to confirm resistance.ResultsResistance to haloxyfop and or iodosulfuron was detected in 79% of seed lines. However, frequencies were not significantly higher in imported lines (from United States and Europe) compared with New Zealand lines. Resistance was detected at frequencies between 0.00112% and 10% for haloxyfop and between 0.00212% and 14.28% for iodosulfuron Resistance to glyphosate was not found. There was no significant difference between the resistance detected in seed samples sourced from different seed companies.ConclusionsIt was found that 63% of resistant lines had resistance frequencies rarer than 0.1%, but this is potentially problematic considering typical sowing rates.
