 Resistance Test  | 
 Leaf Test  | 
 Resistance Profiles  | 
||
| When is the test used? | Prior to the herbicide application in late autumn and in spring (before March) for determining the herbicide with best efficacy | 
In case of bad efficacy approx. four weeks after application of herbicides | 
When a bad efficacy four weeks after using a ACCase-, ALS- or PSII inhibitor is evident | 
Bad effect of the applied products, collection of seeds at the end of the season | 
|
| What type of sample is needed? | 
100 complete plants (ALOMY; APESV, LOLSS, BROSS) with earth bales per test herbicide | 
100 complete plants (ALOMY; APESV, LOLSS, BROSS) with earth bales (tillering plants) | 
Leaf sample of 8 individual plants | 
For example for ALOMY collect 200 ml of seed | 
|
| What statement does the farmer/client get? | 
Which of the tested herbicides has the highest efficacy, how far rates can be reduced or whether there exist any resistance | 
Detection of resistance against the applied herbicide | 
Proof of the occurrence of a target-site resistance (SNP analysis) | 
A profile of the effect against various herbicides and determination of the resistance mechanisms (Biotest + SNP analysis) | 
|
| What strategies can the farmer develop with his adviser? | 
Optimization of choice and thus savings of operating costs, no unnecessary applications, long term planning of the herbicide strategy | 
Confirmation of a suspected resistance against the applied herbicide and exclusion of application errors | 
Confirmation of resistance to the applied herbicide and derivation of possible cross-resistance to other herbicides of the same MoA | 
Profile of products, that are and will be used over a long term. Confirmation of resistance, identify the herbicides with fully or partly efficacy, therefore long term planning of the herbicide strategies |

| When is the test used? | 
Identification of synergistic or antagonistic effects, screening the effects of additives on individual weed species | 
When a detection of SNPs and its genotyping is to be performed | 
Description the baseline sensitivity of weeds | 
Distribution of resistant weeds with defined target-site resistance for testings and research. | 
|
| What type of sample is needed? | 
Seeds of various weeds | 
Leaf samples from individual plants | 
Seeds of different origins of weed species that had not come from locations with resistance | 
The starting material is seed from fields | 
|
| What statement does the farmer/client get? | 
Efficacy profile of a herbicide or a herbicide mixture .  | 
Occurrence of the SNP, sequence analysis of the SNP’s surrounding areas | 
A baseline sensitivity of the species on the basis of the seed collections | 
Seeds with information about the germination rate and the frequency of the respective TSR genotypes | 
|
| What strategies can the client develop? | Strategic direction in research and development |
