Abstract
Weed management has been the object of considerable attention and study ever since crops have been cultivated. Despite this prolonged effort and the more recent but significant activity of incredible herbicide technology, weeds still thrive in most global cropping systems. Like microorganisms that quickly adapt to and resist antibiotic attack, and insect populations that rapidly gain the ability to detoxify insecticides, weeds also adapt to herbicides. There are currently 156 weed species resistant to at least one herbicide mode of action group (Heap, 2002), and there is good reason to believe that number will continue to steadily increase. But it is probably our inability to unravel and exploit the intricacies of weed population ecology, rather than a lack of sufficient technology, that limits our ability to effectively manage weeds.
