Abstract

Glyphosate-resistant Echinochloa colona L. (Link) is becoming common in non-irrigated cotton systems. Echinochloa colona is a small seeded species that is not wind-blown and has a relatively short seed bank life. These characteristics make it a potential candidate to attempt to eradicate resistant populations when they are detected.
A long term systems experiment was developed to determine the feasibility of attempting to eradicate glyphosate resistant populations in the field. To this point the established Best Management Practice (BMP) strategy of two non-glyphosate actions in crop and fallow have been sufficient to significantly reduce the numbers of plants emerging, and remaining at the
end of the season. Additional eradication treatments showed slight improvement on the BMP strategy, however were not significant overall. The effects of additional eradication tactics are expected to be more noticeable as the seed bank gets driven down in subsequent seasons.
