INTRODUCTION		TARWEED CUPHEA
Tarweed Cuphea (Cuphea carthagenensis) is a dicot weed in the Lythraceae family. In Fiji this weed first evolved resistance to Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides in 1984 and infests Taro. Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides are known as PS I Electron Diversion (PSI Electron Diversion ). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to paraquat and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 22 (Legacy D) herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.
