Claims49
A cropping system for managing weed growth in a crop-growing environment comprising:
- a) planting in a crop growing environment a crop seed that germinates into a crop plant comprising tolerance to an auxin-like herbicide;
- and
- b) applying at least a first herbicide treatment to the crop growing environment to control weed growth, wherein the herbicide treatment is selected from the group consisting of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth treatment set forth in Table 3, and wherein the treatment comprises an amount of herbicide effective to control weed growth without significantly damaging the crop seed or crop plant.
A cropping system for minimizing the development of a herbicide resistant weed in a crop-growing environment comprising:
- a) planting in a field a crop plant having tolerance to glyphosate, glufosinate and/or auxin-like herbicides;
- b) applying at least a first herbicide treatment comprising glyphosate, glufosinate, and/or an auxin-like herbicide to the crop growing environment to control weeds;
- d) identifying a location in the field infested with weeds resistant to glyphosate, glufosinate or an auxin-like herbicide;
- and
- e) applying an amount of glyphosate, glufosinate, and/or the auxin-like herbicide effective to control the weeds resistant to glyphosate, glufosinate, or an auxin-like herbicide.
