HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT PATERSONS CURSE
(Echium plantagineum)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Australia, South Australia
INTRODUCTION PATERSONS CURSE
Patersons Curse (Echium plantagineum) is a dicot weed in the Boraginaceae family.  In South Australia this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1997 and infests Cereals, and Pastures.   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 metosulam 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.
