HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT POWELL AMARANTH
(Amaranthus powellii)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, Ohio
INTRODUCTION POWELL AMARANTH
Powell Amaranth (Amaranthus powellii) is a dicot weed in the Amaranthaceae family.  In Ohio this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1996 and infests Soybean.   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 imazaquin 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.
