HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT SMALLFLOWER UMBRELLA SEDGE
(Cyperus difformis)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Spain
INTRODUCTION SMALLFLOWER UMBRELLA SEDGE
Smallflower Umbrella Sedge (Cyperus difformis) is a monocot weed in the Cyperaceae family.  In Spain this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2000 and infests Rice.   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 bensulfuron-methyl, and penoxsulam 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.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE

ONGOING RESEARCH

Jose Maria Urbano

The initial case reported by Jean-Pierre Claude in 2000 was to bensulfuron-methyl, however we have now (2013) also found penoxsulam resistance in Cyperus difformis.
