Acting pre-emptively reduces the long-term costs of managing herbicide resistance (2024)
Journal Article

Globally, pesticides improve crop yields but at great environmental cost, and their overuse has caused resistance. This incurs large financial and production losses but, despite this, very diversified farm management that might delay or prevent resis...
