ABSTRACT
The intensive use of glyphosate in agricultural areas has increased the frequency of weeds
that are resistant to herbicides. Thus, this study was aimed to assess the sensitivity and resistance
level of Digitaria insularis (L.) Fedde (sourgrass) populations to glyphosate. Sixtytwo
sourgrass populations were collected from the states of Paraná and São Paulo, Brazil,
and subjected to glyphosate application at 1,080 and 2,160 g of acid equivalent (a.e.) · ha–1
in screening assays. Five sourgrass populations were selected, three of which are resistant
and two of which are susceptible to glyphosate, to determine the resistance factors (RFs)
through dose-response studies at two phenological stages of plant growth: the 2–4-leaf stages
and the 2–4-tiller stage. The trials were conducted in a greenhouse in accordance with
a completely randomized design. In both trials, the control was evaluated based on the score
of the visual control symptoms (VC) and the percentage of dry matter (DM) in relation to
those of the control (without application). In the screening test, the data obtained for the
response variables were adjusted for frequency curves by following the regression model
proposed by Gompertz. The results indicated low sensitivity of D. insularis to glyphosate in
100% of the samples from areas in which soybeans are tolerant to this herbicide. Populations
with susceptible plants were found in fallow areas, pasture areas and sugar cane fields.
Based on the values of VC50 and DM50, the maximum RF obtained among the populations
was 15. More advanced stages of development make sourgrass control difficult, requiring
doses that are 3.5 times greater than those at the initial stage.
