Abstract:This paper determined the drug resistance of 9 maize varieties to chlorimuron-ethyl with sand culture experiment. The results showed that IC50 value for Tunyu 88 and Fenghe 10 was 23.98μg/kg and 17.83μg/kg respectively, the tolerance was strong. Dongtian 3 was sensitive to chlorimuron-ethyl. The IC50 was 0.48μg/kg. The inhibition of chlorimuron-ethyl to ALS in vivo was much lower than in vitro. In vitro, there was no significant difference in the drug resistance of different sources ALS to chlorimuron-ethyl. In vivo, tolerance varieties ALS activity Tunyu 88 and Benyu 9 respectively was 2.5 and 2.19 times than those in vitro, but sensitive varieties Dongtian 3 and Dongnong 248 and Dongnong 888 was 1.02-1.45 times than those in vitro, there was significant difference in maize varieties ALS and GSTs activities, the activities of tolerant varieties ALS and GSTs higher than sensitive varieties. The chlorimuron-ethyl induced GSTs activities increased.
