As a public-sector professional, you carry a special responsibility: you support agricultural operations in implementing effective, economical, and environmentally sound plant protection strategies. Herbicide resistance is an increasing challenge – with far-reaching consequences for production, the environment, and advisory practices.
Rising Resistance Development – A Challenge for Advisory Services and Monitoring
Current monitoring projects, especially for species such as black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) or annual meadow grass (Poa annua), show increasing tolerance and even multiple resistance to various modes of action. The question of effective containment strategies affects not only farmers but the entire plant protection system – from regulatory approval to advisory services and field application.
Typical key questions include:
-
Which active ingredients are losing efficacy at the regional level?
-
What types of resistance mechanisms (e.g. target-site resistance, enhanced metabolism) are emerging?
-
How can targeted advisory strategies support product preservation and promote strategy shifts?
