Herbicide-Resistant Weeds: A Dilemma in Dixie Culpepper, York, Steckel, Prostko
What is Herbicide Resistance? (official WSSA definition) Inherited ability of a biotype of a weed to survive and reproduce following exposure to a dose of herbicide normally lethal to the wild type.
Why is Resistance Such a Big Deal Now? Significant 1.

Resistance Management Practices • Reduce herbicide reliance (as practical) • 2. Diversify MOAs; Multiple MOAs • Multiple MOAs within a crop.
