Chapter synopsis:

This chapter explores trends in the evolution of herbicide resistance in two countries: Australia and New Zealand. After exploring the different agricultural systems in each country, the chapters shows how herbicide resistance has evolved in each case. A particular focus is the development of resistance to glyphosate. The chapter discusses possible factors underpinning differences in patterns of resistance as well as current and likely future trends in herbicide resistance.
