Abstract

Seed germination, one aspect of fitness, of chlorsulfuron-resistant (R) and -susceptible (S) kochia biotypes collected in North Dakota and Kansas was compared at 8, 18, and 28 C. Cumulative germination, characterized for each biotype using a Weibull function, was different at 8 and 18 C but not at 28 C. The Kansas R biotype reached 50% and maximum germination 70 and 300 h before Kansas S biotype at 8 C and 12 and 100 h before the S biotype at 18 C, respectively. The North Dakota R biotype reached 50% and maximum germination 12 and 100 h before the North Dakota S biotype at 8 C, respectively, and they were not different at 18 C. The resistance trait affects the cumulative germination process of kochia and may affect resistant-weed management strategies implemented early in the growing season when temperatures are lowest.
