Introduction

Level of Infestation

Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) is a dicot weed in the Convolvulaceae family. In Kansas this weed first evolved resistance to Group O/4 herbicides in 1964 and infests cropland. Group O/4 herbicides are known as Synthetic Auxins (Synthetic auxins (action like indoleacetic acid)). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to 2,4-D and they may be cross-resistant to other Group O/4 herbicides.

There is no information recorded in the database on the distribution or level of infestation of Group O/4 resistant Field Bindweed from Kansas. If you have some information on this please add it to the database.

The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their mode of action. To see a full list of herbicides and HRAC herbicide classifications click here.
