HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT TROPICAL WHITEWEED
(Ageratum conyzoides)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Brazil, Matto Grosso
INTRODUCTION TROPICAL WHITEWEED
Tropical Whiteweed (Ageratum conyzoides) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In Brazil this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2013 and infests Cotton, and Soybean.   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 pyrithiobac-sodium, and trifloxysulfuron-Na 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.
