Abstract
Recent confirmations of glyphosate-resistant Russian thistle (Salsola tragus L.) in Montana, Washington, and Oregon, warrant greater surveillance of herbicide-resistant Russian thistle in western Canada. A randomized-stratified survey of 315 sites in Manitoba was conducted in 2018 to determine the incidence of herbicide resistance in Russian thistle and other weeds sampled post-harvest. Russian thistle populations were collected from 14 of the 315 sites surveyed. None of these populations exhibited resistance to acetolactate synthase inhibitors (tribenuron/thifensulfuron), synthetic auxins (2,4-D ester or fluroxypyr), or glyphosate. This Manitoba survey of herbicide-resistant Russian thistle serves as a baseline for future surveillance efforts.
