HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT DISC WATERHYSSOP
(Bacopa rotundifolia)

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Malaysia
INTRODUCTION DISC WATERHYSSOP
Disc Waterhyssop (Bacopa rotundifolia) is a dicot weed in the Scrophulariaceae family.  In Malaysia this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2000 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 bensulfuron-methyl, metsulfuron-methyl, and pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 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.
