China, Hebei Province
INTRODUCTION FLIXWEED
Flixweed (Descurainia sophia) is a dicot weed in the Brassicaceae family.  In China this weed first evolved resistance to Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides in 2011 and infests Winter wheat.   Group 4 (Legacy O) herbicides are known as Auxin Mimics (Auxin Mimics ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to MCPA and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 4 (Legacy O) 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.
