Human Dimensions of Herbicide Resistance

Abstract

Herbicide resistance has become a major topic of international research in weed science, with a steady stream of presentations and papers on various aspects of the biology of herbicide resistant weeds. Diverse sources—including WSSA—have generated an equally steady stream of recommendations for preventing and managing herbicide resistance. The situation in the field, however, continues to deteriorate, with new cases of herbicide resistant weeds being reported at an increasing rate. We know what to do, but why aren't we doing it?
