HRAC GROUP 9 (LEGACY G) RESISTANT ARROCILLO
(Paspalum paniculatum)

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

Costa Rica, Limón, Alajuela
INTRODUCTION ARROCILLO
Arrocillo (Paspalum paniculatum) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Costa Rica this weed first evolved resistance to Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides in 2010 and infests Banana and Plantain, and Pejibaye palm.   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.
