Weaken your resistant weeds and then kill them
Researchers
at Monsanto are working on weakening herbicide-resistant weeds and
killing them with the same spray solution. The inventors investigated
the applicability of this approach and examined a range of various
adjuvants to improve the efficacy of this method. Syngenta and other
companies also explore the possibilities of this new gene silencing
approach. Adjuvants & Formulations presents a state-of-the-art. Picture by Bob Hartzler, Iowa State University
