The broad-scale herbicide glyphosate is used worldwide in crop management system to control weeds, facilitate harvests, prepare seed beds, and desiccate cover crops. Greenhouse monitoring trials on herbicide resistance occurrence and potential spread conducted regularly in Lower Saxony, Germany, revealed a reduced glyphosate efficacy against some populations of Alopecurus myosuroides. This could indicate a potential shift towards a reduced sensitivity in some populations. A dose-response experiment was conducted with six Alopecurus myosuroides populations from various regions of Lower Saxony. A reference population, susceptible to glyphosate, was included for comparison. Plants were treated with a commercially available formulation containing the potassium salt of glyphosate. Treatments were 0, 225, 450, 900, 1800, 3600 and 7200 g glyphosate/ha. ED50 values were determined from the dose-response curves and corresponding resistance factors were calculated. When assessed three weeks after glyphosate treatment, single individuals from four out of six tested populations survived doses of 1800 and 3600 g glyphosate/ha without any visible damage and continued to grow. Six weeks after glyphosate application, a regrowth of several individuals from four populations, previously assessed as completely controlled by 900 g glyphosate/ha, occurred. The observations made in this study indicate that the populations tested may have a potential to evolve glyphosate resistance. Further experiments must be conducted to investigate underlying mechanisms.
