HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT ANNUAL SOWTHISTLE
(Sonchus oleraceus)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Australia, Victoria
INTRODUCTION ANNUAL SOWTHISTLE
Annual Sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In Victoria this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2010 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 chlorsulfuron 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.
