HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT GIANT GREEN FOXTAIL
(Setaria viridis var. major (=var. robusta-alba, var. robustapurpurea))


Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, Minnesota
INTRODUCTION GIANT GREEN FOXTAIL
Giant Green Foxtail (Setaria viridis var. major (=var. robusta-alba, var. robustapurpurea)) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Minnesota this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1996 and infests Corn (maize), and 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 imazethapyr, nicosulfuron, and primisulfuron-methyl 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.
