HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT YELLOW NUTSEDGE
(Cyperus esculentus)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, Arkansas
INTRODUCTION YELLOW NUTSEDGE
Yellow Nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) is a monocot weed in the Cyperaceae family.  In Arkansas this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2013 and infests Rice.   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 halosulfuron-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.
