Abstract
A method of calculating the cost to farmers of herbicide resistance in weeds is described along with examples to demonstrate the inherent difficulties and benefits. The main problem is defining cropping systems/practices and herbicide strategies that prevent the development of resistance. The benefits include focusing advisory and research efforts and helping to persuade farmers to adopt practices that prevent the development of resistance.Keywords
