Identification and Mechanism of Echinochloa crus-galli Resistance to Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl with respect to Physiological and Anatomical Differences

Table 1

Effect of fenoxaprop-p-ethyl on the susceptible and resistant biotypes of E. crus-galli expressed as the rates of the herbicide required for 50% reduction of the aboveground biomass (GR50) and estimated resistance ratio.

c: the mean response (fresh weight as percent of control) at very high herbicide rate.
d: the mean response (fresh weight as percent of control) at zero herbicide rate.
b: slope of the line.
GR50: herbicide rate to reduce plant growth by 50% relative to untreated control.
R2: the coefficient of determination.
R/S ratio: the GR50 of the resistant biotype divided by the GR50 of the susceptible biotype.
𝑃 value: the probability of the obtained results.
