HRAC GROUP 9 (LEGACY G) RESISTANT SPINY AMARANTH
(Amaranthus spinosus)


Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase HRAC Group 9 (Legacy G)

United States, Mississippi
INTRODUCTION SPINY AMARANTH
Spiny Amaranth (Amaranthus spinosus) is a dicot weed in the Amaranthaceae family.  In Mississippi this weed first evolved resistance to Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides in 2012 and infests Cotton.   Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase (Inhibition of EPSP synthase).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to glyphosate and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 9 (Legacy G) 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.
