Il punto sulla resistenza delle malerbe agli erbicidi in Italia.

In Italy 12 weed species have evolved populations resistant to herbicides, although to date the areas involved are quite limited. The cropping systems where resistance has developed are mainly monocultures (e.g. rice and durum wheat) or where short crop rotations are used. The herbicides involved are ACCase inhibitors, ALS inhibitors and PSII inhibitors. A brief history of herbicide resistance in Italy is presented and the major resistance management techniques for to preventing its appearance and spread are outlined. Integrated weed management appears to be the best solution.
