HRAC GROUP 9 (LEGACY G) RESISTANT RUSSIAN-THISTLE
(Salsola tragus)

Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase HRAC Group 9 (Legacy G)

United States, Montana

INTRODUCTION		RUSSIAN-THISTLE
Russian-thistle (Salsola tragus) is a dicot weed in the Chenopodiaceae family. In Montana this weed first evolved resistance to Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides in 2015 and infests Fallow, and Wheat. Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase (Inhibition of EPSP synthase). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to glyphosate and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.
