GROUP A/1 RESISTANT LONGFLOWERED VELDTGRASS
(Ehrharta longiflora)

ACCase inhibitors (A/1)

Australia, Western Australia
INTRODUCTION LONGFLOWERED VELDTGRASS
Longflowered veldtgrass (Ehrharta longiflora) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Western Australia this weed first evolved resistance to Group A/1 herbicides in 2014 and infests Bushland Reserve.   Group A/1 herbicides are known as ACCase inhibitors (Inhibition of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to clethodim, haloxyfop-methyl, and quizalofop-ethyl and they may be cross-resistant to other Group A/1 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.
