In recent decades, repeated use of herbicides in the same field has imposed selection for resistance in species that were formerly susceptible. On the other hand, considerable research in the private and public sectors has been directed towards introducing herbicide tolerance into susceptible crop species. The evolution of herbicide resistance, understanding its mechanisms, characterization of resistant weed biotypes, development of herbicide-tolerant crops and management of resistant weeds are described throughout this book. It has been written by researchers based on the contributions made at the International Symposium on Weed and Crop Resistance to Herbicides held at Cordoba, Spain.
