HRAC GROUP 34 (LEGACY F3) RESISTANT CREEPING BENTGRASS
(Agrostis stolonifera)


Inhibition of Lycopene Cyclase HRAC Group 34 (Legacy F3)

Belgium, East Flanders
INTRODUCTION CREEPING BENTGRASS
Creeping Bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Belgium this weed first evolved resistance to Group 34 (Legacy F3) herbicides in 1986 and infests Pears.   Group 34 (Legacy F3) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Lycopene Cyclase (Inhibition of Lycopene Cyclase ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to amitrole and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 34 (Legacy F3) 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.
