HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT PENNSYLVANIA SMARTWEED
(Polygonum pensylvanicum)


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, Arkansas
INTRODUCTION PENNSYLVANIA SMARTWEED
Pennsylvania Smartweed (Polygonum pensylvanicum) is a dicot weed in the Polygonaceae family.  In Arkansas this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2020 and infests Rice.   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 bispyribac-sodium, halosulfuron-methyl, and prosulfuron 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.
