New ‘early warning system’ finds blackgrass evolving resistance to glyphosate

Scientists studying herbicide resistance in blackgrass have detected clear signs that reduced sensitivity to glyphosate is evolving in the field. Using a novel combination of field monitoring, glasshouse experiments and classical genetics, a team of researchers led by Rothamsted Research have developed a way to predict risks of resistance before it occurs in the field, … Continue reading New ‘early warning system’ finds blackgrass evolving resistance to glyphosate
