GROUP B/2 RESISTANT SPANISH PINK MUSTARD

ALS inhibitors (B/2)

INTRODUCTION SPANISH PINK MUSTARD
Spanish Pink Mustard (Erucaria hispanica) is a dicot weed in the Brassicaceae family.  In Israel this weed first evolved resistance to Group B/2 herbicides in 2012 and infests Wheat.   Group B/2 herbicides are known as ALS inhibitors (Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to florasulam, flumetsulam, and tribenuron-methyl and they may be cross-resistant to other Group B/2 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.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE

MECHANISM

ALS inhibitor resistance in  Erucaria hispanica is due to a Proline 197 to Serine mutation.  Maor Matzrafi.
