Weeds and Herbicide Resistance: Challenges, Approaches and Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Herbicide resistance in weeds poses one of the major risks for sustainability of herbicide use and farming systems. The present Special Issue focuses on herbicide resistance mechanisms and management and includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• New cases of herbicide resistance (species, modes of action)
• Physiology and ecology of herbicide resistant biotypes
• Dynamics of herbicide resistance in populations in space and time
• Mechanisms and patterns of herbicide resistance
• New tests for detection of resistance
• Surveys, mapping and databasing of herbicide resistance
• Integrated management of herbicide resistance
• Decision support systems and informatics
• New technologies and precision agriculture for prevention and management of resistance

Research papers and reviews on one or more of the above-mentioned issues or any other relevant to herbicide resistance are welcome. The goal of this Special Issue is, not only to present the most advanced research dealing with herbicide resistance, but also to show the most recent trends and approaches.
