HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT THREEHORN BEDSTRAW
(Galium tricornutum)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Australia, South Australia
INTRODUCTION THREEHORN BEDSTRAW
Threehorn Bedstraw (Galium tricornutum) is a dicot weed in the Rubiaceae family.  In South Australia this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2012 and infests Spring Barley, and 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, imazapyr, iodosulfuron-methyl-Na, and pyroxsulam 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.
