Short description
New technologies are becoming available for managing glyphosate resistant (GR) weeds and reducing their spread. Glyphosate Resistance in Crops and Weeds provides comprehensive coverage of glyphosate resistance in crops. Detailing the development of glyphosate resistance and how to detect and manage the problem in crops, this book standardizes global approaches to glyphosate resistance. Written for researchers, extension workers, land managers and government personnel, the book as well includes a chapter on economic analysis of glyphosate resistance impact on crops.
