HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT COMMON SUNFLOWER
(Helianthus annuus)

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, Missouri

INTRODUCTION		COMMON SUNFLOWER
Common Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family. In Missouri this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1996 and infests Soybean. 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 chlorimuron-ethyl, cloransulam-methyl, flumetsulam, halosulfuron-methyl, imazaquin, imazethapyr, and oxasulfuron 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.
