Glyphosate Resistance in Crops and Weeds : History, Development, and Management

John Wiley & Sons, 2010. — 321 p. — ISBN 978-0-470-41031-8.New technologies are becoming available for managing glyphosate resistant (GR) weeds and reducing their spread. GR crop technology has revolutionized crop production in the developed world and the benefits are gradually spilling over to the developing world. In order to sustain an effective, environmentally safe herbicide such as glyphosate and the GR crop technology well in to the future, it is imperative that the issue of GR weeds be comprehensively understood. This book provides such an essential, up-to-date source of information on glyphosate resistance for researchers, extension workers, land managers, government personnel, and other decision makers. **Contents:**Glyphosate: Discovery, Development, Applications, and Properties __(Gerald M.

This book provides such an essential, up-to-date source of information on glyphosate resistance for researchers, extension workers, land managers, government personnel, and other decision makers. Provides comprehensive coverage of the intensely studied topic of glyphosate resistant (GR) in crops Details the development of glyphosate resistance and how to detect and manage the problem in crops Helps standardize global approaches to glyphosate resistance Encompasses interdisciplinary approaches in chemistry, weed science, biochemistry, plant physiology, plant biotechnology, genetics, ecology Includes a chapter on economic analysis of GR impact on crops Glyphosate-resistant (GR) crop technology has revolutionized crop production in many parts of the world, offering such benefits as reduced fuel costs and improved soil conservation; however, GR weeds are becoming one of the most pressing problems in crop protection, threatening the sustainability of glyphosate and GR crop technology. This book details the development of glyphosate resistance, offering interdisciplinary approaches for managing GR weeds and reducing their spread
