HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT WILD BUCKWHEAT

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Australia, Queensland
INTRODUCTION WILD BUCKWHEAT
Wild Buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus (=Fallopia convolvulus)) is a dicot weed in the Polygonaceae family.  In Queensland this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1993 and infests Wheat.   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 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.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Field, and Greenhouse trials comparing a known susceptible Wild Buckwheat biotype with this Wild Buckwheat biotype have been used to confirm resistance. For further information on the tests conducted please contact the local weed scientists that provided this information.
 
Genetics

Genetic studies on HRAC Group 2 resistant Wild Buckwheat have not been reported to the site.  There may be a note below or an article discussing the genetics of this biotype in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature
 
Mechanism of Resistance

The mechanism of resistance for this biotype is either unknown or has not been entered in the database.  If you know anything about the mechanism of resistance for this biotype then please update the database.
 
Relative Fitness

There is no record of differences in fitness or competitiveness of these resistant biotypes when compared to that of normal susceptible biotypes.  If you have any information pertaining to the fitness of Group 2 (Legacy B) resistant Wild Buckwheat from Queensland please update the database.
