This is the first report of Echinochloa populations in the Philippines showing resistance to both ALS- and ACCase-inhibiting herbicides.
We identified two resistant populations:
-
One population exhibited resistance to ALS inhibitors and carried a target-site mutation.
-
The other population was resistant to both ALS and ACCase inhibitors but did not possess any target-site mutations.
