HRAC GROUP 5 (LEGACY C1 C2) RESISTANT REDROOT PIGWEED
(Amaranthus retroflexus)


PSII inhibitors - Serine 264 Binders HRAC Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2)

Czech Republic
INTRODUCTION REDROOT PIGWEED
Redroot Pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) is a dicot weed in the Amaranthaceae family.  In Czech Republic this weed first evolved resistance to Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides in 1985 and infests Corn (maize), Railways, Roadsides, and Sugar beets.   Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides are known as PSII inhibitors - Serine 264 Binders (Inhbition of Photosynthesis at PSll - Serine 264 Binders ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to atrazine, cyanazine, metamitron, prometryne, terbuthylazine, and terbutryne and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) 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.
