INTRODUCTION BALL MUSTARD Ball Mustard (Neslia paniculata) is a dicot weed in the Brassicaceae family.  In Alberta this weed first evolved resistance to Group B/2 herbicides in 1998 and infests Cropland, and Wheat.   Group B/2 herbicides are known as Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase (Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to metsulfuron-methyl and they may be cross-resistant to other Group B/2 herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

A review of biological information is provided for Neslia paniculata. Native to central Eurasia, this species is naturalized in other temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. In North America, it is most abundant in Canada's prairie provinces, but has spread west and north to British Columbia, Alaska, Yukon and the Northwest Territories, and to scattered locations in eastern Canada and the northern USA. It is typically a summer annual weed of disturbed soils. Its growth habit and persistence in the seed bank have enabled it to spread as an adventive and to maintain its presence in cultivated areas. While it is present in relatively low frequency as a weed in most crops, its indehiscent seed pods can contaminate harvested crops and spread in seed commodities. The small size of its seed pods and the similarity of its seeds to those of rape and condiment mustard have led to its regulation as a significant contaminant of commercial seed. It is generally well controlled by herbicides (e.g., sulfonylureas, glyphosate, MCPA, bromoxynil, and 2,4-D); however, a population resistant to metsulfuron-methyl, one of the Group 2 herbicides that inhibit acetolactate synthase, was found at a site in Alberta in 1998..
