| | Herbicide Spray Drift |
| | Herbicide spray drift may injure susceptible crops and could cause prohibited residues in the harvested crops. | | | Herbicides should not be applied when the wind is blowing toward an adjoining susceptible crop or a crop in a vulnerable stage of growth. | | | Herbicide spray drift is the movement of herbicide from the target area to areas where herbicide application was not intended. |

| | Herbicide Resistant Weeds |
| | The first report of insects resistant to insecticides was in 1908, of plant pathogens resistant to fungicides in 1940, and of weeds resistant to herbicides (triazines) in 1968. | | | For major-use crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat, herbicide resistant crops may be useful where difficult to control weeds or environmental conditions dictate the use of specific herbicides to which the crop is normally susceptible. | | | However, imidazolinone resistant (IR) corn hybrids are resistant to imidazolinone herbicides and are cross resistant to the sulfonylurea herbicides. |

| | Fall Herbicide Application |
| | Herbicides that are most effective on perennial weeds follow the flow of food reserves in the phloem from the leaves down to the roots. | | | Fall herbicide applications will be much more effective if combined with cultural practices such as timely tillage or establishment of competitive crops that stress perennial weeds throughout the growing season and minimize their reproduction over time. | | | Although some herbicides have residual activity in the soil, herbicides must be applied to actively growing foliage for maximum results. |

| | ScienCentral Video News: Needing Herbicide |
| | Seventy-one percent of genetically engineered crops planted in 1998 were designed to be resistant to herbicides such as glyphosate; United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics from 1997 show that the use of these soybeans resulted in a 72% increase in the use of glyphosate. | | | While the tolerance of some morning glories to glyphosate is a naturally occurring trait, geneticists have modified many crops—including soybeans—not to be harmed by the chemical, allowing farmers to spray with it and kill everything but their crops. | | | He can't get his combine, which is basically his or her harvester, into the crops to harvest the soybeans because the morning glories…will bind up the machine and made it very difficult for them to go through the rows." |

| | Biotypes of phenoxy herbicide resistant and susceptible wild radish populations were grown under the same environmental conditions and parameters of biomass, flower, colour, and seed production were measured in an attempt to identify distinguishing characteristics of resistant populations. | | | This study was conducted in 2005 at Salmon Gums where herbicide susceptible plants were placed in a number of locations in both cropping and pasture paddocks and native bush areas to examine if they are able to be cross pollinated by herbicide resistant plants in neighboring areas. | | | The study examined the extent to which the costs of the most common form(s) of herbicide resistance in WA cropping paddocks can be attributed to higher weed densities affecting crop yield; or whether growers have maintained control of resistant weed populations. |

| | Top 10 reasons your preemergence herbicide failed |
| | Herbicides registered for use in nursery crops will not kill existing weeds (except for spray-applied Goal, which is only labeled for conifers or directed sprays). | | | The highest labeled rate was applied for each product, the herbicides were applied well before any seed germination, and the herbicides were properly incorporated with irrigation. | | | However, research on sandy soils has shown that if the soil is allowed to dry after the initial irrigation, the herbicide will bind to the soil and will not be prone to moving thereafter. |

| | Herbicides, Diabetes Linked in New Study David Brown / Washington Post 12oct00 |
| | Because risk of developing the disease increases with age, the percentage will rise in the future. | | | However, because people with diabetes often die of other diseases (such as heart disease or kidney failure) that diabetes contributes to, the lack of association doesn't rule out a connection between the dioxin and the disease. | | | The standards for saying there is "limited/suggestive" evidence for an association between herbicide and disease are far from proof of causation. |
