About this project

Abstract

The combined objectives of the projects were to:

(a) Survey the incidence and study the inheritance of herbicide resistance in black-grass to determine the risk of increase of resistance in the United Kingdom.

(b) Develop the necessary techniques to identify resistance in the laboratory.

(c) Measure under field conditions the efficacy of herbicides identified as being affected by resistance in glasshouse studies.
