Herbicide resistant crops can increase the availability of herbicides for selective use in soybean, can provide weed control of tolerant weed species, weed with identical biological characteristics to the crop, and resitant weeds to herbicides. The objective of this research was to evaluate the cross resitance in the soybean cultivar Coodetec 201 to three ALS inhibitor herbicides not selective to this crop. The trial was conducted in greenhouse, in a completely randomized design in factorial arrangemant. The treatments consisted of soybean cultivars Coodetec 201 and Ocepar 14, and the herbicides imazapyr, metsulfuron and nicosulfuron at five rates each. The herbicides were sprayed 30 days after soybean emergence, in the fenological stage V4. The leaf area and injury 14 and 35 days after treatments with metsulfuron were smaller in Coodetec 201 than in Ocepar 14. Both cultivars were suscetibible to imazapyr. The cultivar Coodetec 201 was 10,25 and 3,25 times more tolerant to metsulfuron and nicosulfuron, respectivety, than Ocepar 14.
