Assessing the probability and time of weed control failure due to herbicide resistance evolution

This study models herbicide resistance evolution in weeds, finding that small fitness costs and self-pollination reduce adaptation from standing genetic variation, and seed banks enhance adaptive potential.

Theoretical assessment of persistence and adaptation in weeds with complex life cycles

This study models the population dynamics and resistance evolution of Sorghum halepense, showing that sexual reproduction and seed banks enhance persistence and adaptation, while integrated control strategies reduce resistance risk.
