HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT RUSSIAN-THISTLE
(Salsola tragus)

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, Montana

INTRODUCTION		RUSSIAN-THISTLE
Russian-thistle (Salsola tragus) is a dicot weed in the Chenopodiaceae family. In Montana this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1987 and infests Cropland, and 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 chlorsulfuron 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.
