Specific guidelines for Group 34 herbicides

Moderate resistance risk

Globally, herbicide resistance to the Group 34 herbicide mode of action has been confirmed and documented in 6 weed species across 4 countries.

Group 34 resistance exists in Australia with 3 populations of annual ryegrass resistant to amitrole. This has only occurred in 3 populations and this type of resistance is rare in Australia.

To assist in delaying the onset of resistance, consider alternating Group 34 herbicides with herbicides from other modes of action, such as Group 22 (e.g. paraquat), Group 10 (e.g. glufosinate) or Group 9 (e.g. glyphosate).

Consider using alternative methods of weed control to reduce weed numbers before applying herbicides.

The above recommendations should be incorporated into an Integrated Weed Management (IWM) program. In all cases try to ensure surviving weeds from any treatment do not set and shed viable seed. Keep to integrated strategies mentioned in this brochure including cultural weed control techniques to reduce the weed seedbank. Make sure you mix and rotate herbicides from different mode of action groups. Always consult the product label prior to use.
