Abstract

A group of scientists from academia, government, and industry, along with ecologists, regulators, conservationists, and grower representatives have formed an International Organization for Resistant Pest Management (IOPRM) to review and delineate proactive and retroactive management strategies for specific cases of pesticide resistance. Within IOPRM, technical working groups were appointed to deal with each pest group. The Weed Resistance Management Working Group (WRMWG) is chaired by Drs. Jonathan Gressel and Leonard Saari, and will deal with the analysis and promoting of alternative control strategies for case studies where a high risk of herbicide resistant weeds exists. Based on our experience to date, crops such as wheat, corn, and soybeans and weeds such as kochia, annual ryegrass and blackgrass, will be used as models to develop optimum weed resistance management programs. The group is especially looking for herbicide and weed control data on negative-cross resistance, econometric models, novel management procedures, and quantitative data from weed scientists and other research and extension communities that could facilitate reaching optimal management decisions. All recommendations and experiences will be communicated through a worldwide network.
