  1. Weed resistance screening and management Herbicide-resistant weeds pose a global challenge for farmers, requiring early detection and proactive measures to maintain crop yields and agricultural sustainability. Herbicide Resistance: Growing Issue Canada ranks 3rd globally in herbicide resistance, posing threats to crop productivity, yield losses, and production costs due to selective pressure on weed populations. Early Detection of Herbicide Resistance Early detection of herbicide resistance is crucial for effective weed management, enabling proactive measures to prevent the spread of resistant biotypes in fields. Early detection is crucial Early detection of herbicide resistance allows farmers to make informed decisions about weed management strategies, minimizing resistance development and promoting sustainable crop production. EFFECTIVE WEED MANAGEMENT THROUGH SCREENING RESULTS Herbicide layering Canada utilizes various broadleaf herbicides to control weeds, reducing resistance development by varying modes of action and rotating them over time. Crop rotation impacts crop susceptibility, nutrient requirements, soil pressure, herbicide use, and prevents the use of the same active ingredients, disrupting pest and weed cycles. IWM strategies employ various techniques like crop rotation, cover cropping, intercropping, mechanical methods, and herbicide use to control pests and reduce herbicide resistance. PREVENTING RESISTANCE TO BOOST HERBICIDE LIFESPAN Herbicide resistance screening extends herbicide lifespan, preserves efficacy, and delays weed emergence. Early identification, management, and strategic rotation slow resistance evolution, ensuring crop protection solutions.
