HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT ENGLISH CATCHFLY
(Silene gallica)

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Chile, La Araucanía
INTRODUCTION ENGLISH CATCHFLY
English Catchfly (Silene gallica) is a dicot weed in the Caryophyllaceae family.  In Chile this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2012 and infests 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 imazamox, imazapyr, iodosulfuron-methyl-Na, metsulfuron-methyl, and pyroxsulam 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.
