Pollen-Mediated Gene Flow and Transfer of Herbicide-Resistant Alleles
January 22, 2019
Pollen-mediated gene flow at a distance could allow the spread of rare herbicide-resistant alleles and favor the evolution of multiple herbicide-resistant biotypes through the accumulation of different resistant genes in an individual weed or weed population. From the Nebraska Crop Management Conference Proceedings.

Critical Time for Weed Removal in Corn and Soybean is Delayed by PRE-Herbicides
January 9, 2019
Understanding the critical time for weed removal in corn and soybean would not only ensure effective weed removal and minimize unnecessary weed control inputs, but could potentially help minimize the development of herbicide resistance in weeds.
