GROUP G/9 RESISTANT COMMON SUNFLOWER
(Helianthus annuus)

Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase (G/9)

United States, Texas

INTRODUCTION		COMMON SUNFLOWER
Common Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a dicot weed in the Asteraceae family. In Texas this weed first evolved resistance to Group G/9 herbicides in 2015 and infests Corn (maize). Group G/9 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 G/9 herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.
