INTRODUCTION PENNSYLVANIA EVERLASTING
Pennsylvania Everlasting (Gamochaeta pensylvanica) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In Queensland this weed first evolved resistance to Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides in 2015 and infests Sugarcane for sugar, and Vegetables.   Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides are known as PS I Electron Diversion (PSI Electron Diversion ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to paraquat and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 22 (Legacy D) 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.
