HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT SHATTERCANE
(Sorghum bicolor)

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

United States, Kansas
INTRODUCTION SHATTERCANE
Shattercane (Sorghum bicolor) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Kansas this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1996 and infests Corn (maize), and Sorghum.   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 imazamox, 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.
