HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT NARROWLEAF HAWKSBEARD

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Canada, Alberta
INTRODUCTION NARROWLEAF HAWKSBEARD
Narrowleaf Hawksbeard (Crepis tectorum) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In Alberta this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2011 and infests Grass seed.   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 metsulfuron-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.
