This report is a comprehensive analysis examining U.S. crop protection manufacturers’ efforts to mitigate herbicide resistance by combining two or more herbicides, GMO crops, and new modes of herbicidal action.

Scope

• Detailed profiles of major research-based manufacturers’ combination herbicide products
• Strategies for the development of combination herbicides by leading suppliers
• Review of stacked herbicide crop gene resistance and herbicides containing multiple modes of action
• Review of new herbicide modes of action in development

• Identification of which combinations of modes of action have been most successful
• Identification of the potential for new combinations that could be successful
• How the repeated use of glyphosate over many years has led to widespread resistance of critical weeds to glyphosate

Includes company profiles
