Reducing the Risks of Herbicide Resistance: Best Management Practices and Recommendations

Jason K. Norsworthy, Sarah Ward, David Shaw et al. · 1 Jan 2012

Herbicides are the foundation of weed control in commercial crop-production systems. However, herbicide-resistant (HR) weed populations are evolving rapidly as a natural response to selection pressure imposed by modern agricultural management activities. Mitigating the evolution of herbicide resistance depends on reducing selection through diversification of weed control techniques, minimizing the spread of resistance genes and…

Resistance of weeds to ALS-inhibiting herbicides: what have we learned?

Patrick J. Tranel, Terry R. Wright · 1 Nov 2002

Herbicides that target the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS) are among the most widely used in the world. Unfortunately, these herbicides are also notorious for their ability to select resistant (R) weed populations. Now, there are more weed species that are resistant to ALS-inhibiting herbicides than to any other herbicide group. In most cases, resistance to…

Invasive weeds in rangelands: Species, impacts, and management

Joseph M. DiTomaso · 1 Mar 2000

Rangeland and pastures comprise about 42% of the total land area of the United States. About three-quarters of all domestic livestock depend upon grazing lands for survival. Many ranges have had domestic stock grazing for more than 100 years and, as a result, the plant composition has changed greatly from the original ecosystems. Western rangelands…

Cover crops and living mulches

Nathan L. Hartwig, Hans Ulrich Ammon · 1 Nov 2002

Cover crops and living mulches bring many benefits to crop production. Interest in winter annual cover crops such as winter rye and hairy vetch for ground cover and soil erosion control has been increasing in the last 30 yr in some areas. The integration of cover crops into a cropping system by relay cropping, overseeding,…

The Evolution and Genetics of Herbicide Resistance in Weeds

Marie Jasieniuk, Anita L. Brûlé‐Babel, Ian N. Morrison · 1 Mar 1996

The importance of various factors influencing the evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds is critically examined using population genetic models. The factors include gene mutation, initial frequency of resistance alleles, inheritance, weed fitness in the presence and absence of herbicide, mating system, and gene flow. Where weed infestations are heavy, the probability of selecting for…

Weed Science template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Weed Science format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Weed Science template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Cambridge University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Weed Science use?
Weed Science uses Numbered references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically.
