HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT SHATTERCANE
(Sorghum bicolor)

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, Iowa

INTRODUCTION		SHATTERCANE
Shattercane (Sorghum bicolor) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family. In Iowa this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1998 and infests Corn (maize). 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 imazethapyr 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.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE

GENERAL

Ian Zelaya

The resistant shattercane biotype was collected in Malvern, IA. Greenhouse and laboratory studies confirmed that the Malvern, IA biotype was susceptible to nicosulfuron but was resistant to imazethapyr (GR50 R:S ratio = 29). The susceptible shattercane biotype was collected at Curtiss Farm in Ames, IA. Source: Zelaya, I. A., and M. D. K. Owen. 2004. Evolved resistance to acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicides in common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida), and shattercane (Sorghum bicolor) in Iowa. Weed Science 52:538-548.
