Summary: Abstract: Background: This manuscript presents data of screening and dose-response curves of a goosegrass population from Primavera do Leste, MT, Brazil, which results in the first official report of multiple resistance of goosegrass to ACCase and EPSPs inhibiting herbicides in Brazil. Objective: Evaluate the control of a goosegrass population from Primavera do Leste, MT, Brazil, suspected of resistance to the glyphosate, fenoxapropp-ethyl, and haloxyfop-methyl herbicides, using dose-response curves. Methods: The study was carried out in two stages, the first in Brasília, DF, Brazil, and the second in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil. The first stage consisted in the initial evaluation and identification of resistance, which was confirmed in the second. In the first stage, the herbicides glyphosate, fenoxapropp-ethyl, and haloxyfop-methyl were applied to susceptible and resistant goosegrass populations (F1 and F2 generations) with plants with 2 and 3 tillers, using nine rates (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 times the recommended rate). In the second stage, the herbicides were applied to susceptible and resistant populations with plants with 4 leaves, using 12 rates (0, 0.03125, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 times the recommended rate). Results: The high sensitivity of susceptible plants combined with the high resistance level of resistant ones resulted in high resistance factors for fenoxaprop-p-ethyl and haloxyfop-methyl, with values greater than 27.8. The resistance factor for glyphosate ranged from 3.3 to 11, depending on growth stage at application time. Conclusions: The goosegrass population from Primavera do Leste, MT, Brazil, presented resistance to EPSPs (glyphosate) and ACCase (haloxyfopmethyl and fenoxaprop-ethyl) inhibiting herbicides.
