Herbicide Resistance Testing
Since the 1rst herbicide-resistant weed reported in 2001 many weed species has acquired a resistance to an herbicide: this is a threat to the sustainability of cropping systems world-wide !
The Issue
Weed resistance normally occurs from repeated use of the same herbicide(s) and mode of application :
1 Mutation (blue) occurs naturally and confers weeds a resistance to an Herbicide
2 Application of the herbicide erase only non-resistant weed
3 Resistance mutation to the herbicide is transmitted to the weed descendant
4 Herbicide application is not efficient anymore
The Solution
We target site mutation in known genes that play important role in herbicide resistance
