This summit served as a venue to bring the attention of important stakeholders to the issue and as an opportunity for experts from diverse disciplines to strategize in a coordinated way to address herbicide-resistant weeds. In convening stakeholders for this event, participants took a step toward a recommendation from the 2010 National Research Council report The Impact of Genetically Engineered Crops on Farm Sustainability in the United States that federal and state government agencies, private-sector technology developers, universities, farmer organizations, and other relevant stakeholders collaborate to document emerging weed-resistance problems and to develop cost-effective resistance-management programs and practices that preserve effective weed control. The summit provided the opportunity for stakeholders to explore the scientific basis of the emergence of herbicide resistance and to consider different perspectives on both opportunities and barriers to overcoming the problem of herbicide-resistant weeds. National Summit on Strategies to Manage Herbicide-Resistant Weeds contains a brief synopsis of key points made by each speaker at the summit."--Publisher's description.Herbicide resistancePlantsEffect of herbicides onCropsGenetic engineeringUnited StatesAgricultural biotechnologyUnited StatesElectronic books.Herbicide resistance.PlantsEffect of herbicides on.CropsGenetic engineeringAgricultural biotechnology632.954National Research Council (U.S.).Planning Committee for a National Summit on Strategies to Manage Herbicide-Resistant Weeds,National Research Council (U.S.).Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464439103321National summit on strategies to manage herbicide-resistant weeds1929284UNINA
