This Process Vegetables NZ-ALT resistance management case study is about grass weed resistance in process vegetable crops.

Herbicide resistant weeds are recognised as a threat to sustainable agricultural practices around the world, causing a reduction in crop yields and increased production costs due to the increasing cost of weed management.

In this resource the resistance problem in NZ is explained, and information on a system level approach to manage weeds is shared – an integrated weed management (IWM) approach. Key IWM tools and industry learnings are included.
