HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT WILD POINSETTIA
(Euphorbia heterophylla)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Paraguay, Itapua
INTRODUCTION WILD POINSETTIA
Wild Poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla) is a dicot weed in the Euphorbiaceae family.  In Paraguay this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1995 and infests Soybean.   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 imazethapyr 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.
