چکیده

Worldwide, herbicides remain the most efficient technology for large-scale weed control. Therefore, the widespread evolution of herbicide resistance in weed populations within intensive crop production systems is a major threat to the sustainability and profitability of cropping systems. The introduction of new herbicides and herbicide modes of action to replace those herbicides failing due to resistance is essential for weed management. However, the rate of introduction of new herbicides for world agriculture has slowed dramatically. This is due to the difficulty and high cost involved in discovery and development of new herbicides and herbicide modes of actions, and, as a result, new herbicide or herbicide mode of action discovery and development will not occur at a rate required for proactive and reactive resistance management. Therefore, there is a strong imperative to use currently available herbicide resources in more sustainable ways (Walsh and Powles, 2004).

Chlorophyll Fluorescence: A Novel Method to Screen for Herbicide Resistance

The susceptibility to Terbacil of six randomly selected strawberry cultivars (‘Aromas’, ‘Chambly’, ‘Harmonie’, ‘Kent’, ‘La Clé des Champs’ and ‘Seascape’) was analysed using chlorophyll florescence (CF) in comparison with visual observation, in an attempt to develop a method for use in a breeding programme to select herbicide-resistant strawberry lines. Terbacil was applied at one of five rates...

Managing the Herbicide Resource : An Evaluation of Extension on Management of Herbicide - resistant Weeds

Pests and weeds can develop resistance to pesticides and herbicides soon after they are introduced. This is demonstrated by early reports of insecticide resistance (Melander, 1914) and herbicide resistance (Ryan, 1970). In some cases the first observations of resistance to a particular herbicide have occurred around the same time as its local commercial release (e.g., Heap & Knight, 1990). In o...
