HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT FIELD DODDER
(Cuscuta pentagona (=C. campestris))


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Israel
INTRODUCTION FIELD DODDER
Field Dodder (Cuscuta pentagona (=C. campestris)) is a dicot weed in the Cuscutaceae family.  In Israel this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1994 and infests Forests.   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 chlorsulfuron, and sulfometuron-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.
