INTRODUCTION SQUIRRELTAIL FESCUE
Squirreltail Fescue (Vulpia bromoides) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Victoria this weed first evolved resistance to Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides in 1990 and infests Alfalfa.   Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides are known as PS I Electron Diversion (PSI Electron Diversion ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to diquat, and paraquat and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 22 (Legacy D) 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.
