HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT LIVID AMARANTH

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, New Jersey
INTRODUCTION LIVID AMARANTH
Livid Amaranth (Amaranthus blitum (ssp. oleraceus)) is a dicot weed in the Amaranthaceae family.  In New Jersey this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1993 and infests Cabbages, Lettuce, and Onions.   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.
