C. bonariensis C. canadensis C. albida
Glyphosate • Introduced early 70’s • Excellent and inexpensive herbicide • Widely used all over the world (not only in agriculture) • Applied in over-doses
Glyphosate-Resistant C. bonariensis
Glyphosate • Introduced early 70’s • Excellent and inexpensive herbicide • Widely used all over the world (not only in agriculture) • Applied in over-doses • Over 100 populations of Conyza spp. were collected and examined

How to combat GR? • Use alternative herbicide. Which one? • Use mixtures. With which herbicides?
