Managing Against the Development of Herbicide Resistant Weeds: Sugarcane

Abstract

Producing a profitable sugarcane crop in Florida depends, in part, on effectively controlling weeds that can reduce yields. Because they provide an efficient and cost effective means of weed control, herbicides are a critical component of sugarcane weed management programs. However, in many cropping systems excessive use of a single herbicide, or group of herbicides with the same site of action, has resulted in the development of herbicide resistant weeds.
