HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT SHEPHERD'S-PURSE
(Capsella bursa-pastoris)

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Canada, Alberta

INTRODUCTION		SHEPHERD'S-PURSE
Shepherd's-purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is a dicot weed in the Brassicaceae family. In Alberta this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2011 and infests Wheat. 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 thifensulfuron-methyl, and tribenuron-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.
