HRAC GROUP 9 (LEGACY G) RESISTANT TROPICAL SPRANGLETOP (JUDDSGRASS)
(Leptochloa virgata)


Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase HRAC Group 9 (Legacy G)

Mexico, Veracruz
INTRODUCTION TROPICAL SPRANGLETOP (JUDDSGRASS)
Tropical Sprangletop (Juddsgrass) (Leptochloa virgata) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Mexico this weed first evolved resistance to Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides in 2010 and infests Orchards.   Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase (Inhibition of EPSP synthase).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to glyphosate and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 9 (Legacy G) 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.
