The late 1980's saw an explosion in the amount and diversity of herbicide resistance.
Herbicide resistance poses a threat to crop production in many countries.
The rapid escalation in herbicide resistance worldwide and resistance at the population, biochemical and molecular levels are the foci of this timely book. Leading researchers from North America, Australia and Western Europe present lucid reviews that consider the population dynamics and genetics, biochemistry and agro-ecology of resistance. Resistance to various herbicides is discussed in detail, as well as the mechanisms responsible for cross resistance and multiple resistance. This reference is invaluable to those interested in the evolution and ability of species to overcome severe environmental stress.
