International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds

Funded and Supported by the
Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC), the
  North American Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (NAHRAC),
and the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA).

The purpose of this survey is to monitor the evolution of herbicide-resistant weeds and assess their impact throughout the world.   Global collaboration between  weed scientists make the survey and this web site possible.
 

323 Resistant Biotypes, 187 Species (112 dicots and 75 monocots) and over 300,000 fields

ALS Mutations from Herbicide-Resistant Weeds
This new section of the website focuses on the amino acid substitutions that confer resistance to ALS inhibitor herbicides.  We aim to expand this section to include data on mutations that confer resistance to other herbicide modes of action.  The current section is based on a recent paper: "Tranel, P. J., and Wright, T. R. (2002). Resistance of weeds to ALS-inhibiting herbicides: What have we learned? WeedScience, 50: 700-712."

The section is maintained by Patrick Tranel and Terry Wright.
