HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT SPINY SOWTHISTLE
(Sonchus asper)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United Kingdom
INTRODUCTION SPINY SOWTHISTLE
Spiny Sowthistle (Sonchus asper) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In United Kingdom this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2016 and infests Wheat.   Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase (Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to imazamox, metsulfuron-methyl, and thifensulfuron-methyl and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides.

The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action. To see a full list of herbicides and HRAC herbicide classifications click here.
