INTRODUCTION LAWN BURWEED
Lawn Burweed (Soliva sessilis) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family.  In New Zealand this weed first evolved resistance to Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides in 1999 and infests Golf courses, and Turf.   Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides are known as Auxin Mimics (Auxin Mimics ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to clopyralid, picloram, and triclopyr and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 4 (Legacy O) 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.
