Abstract

Weed resistance has not generally been considered a serious problem where herbicide rotations and combinations are used. Herbicide-tolerant crops present new opportunities for decreasing risk of crop injury, decreasing carryover problems, broadening control spectrum, and for using herbicides that present less risk to the environment. However, herbicide-tolerant crops that allow intensified use of some herbicides may allow tolerant weed species to proliferate and herbicide carryover problems to increase for certain crops. Those responsible for the technology transfer process will need to keep well informed and objectively provide clientele with the basis for appropriate decisions as new weed control systems are designed as a result of these developments.
