HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT PASTO HONDURAS (MEXICANGRASS)
(Ixophorus unisetus)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Mexico, Jalisco and Guanajuato
INTRODUCTION PASTO HONDURAS (MEXICANGRASS)
Pasto Honduras (Mexicangrass) (Ixophorus unisetus) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Mexico this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2014 and infests Corn (maize).   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 nicosulfuron 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.
