HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT PERENNIAL RYEGRASS
(Lolium perenne)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, California
INTRODUCTION PERENNIAL RYEGRASS
Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In California this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1989 and infests Railways, and Roadsides.   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 sulfometuron-methyl 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.
