      abstract = {Australian research and development organizations invest  substantial grower and/ or
taxpayer (public) funds, on the  control of weeds in broad-acre cropping using  herbicide.
Benefits from this research are distributed  between growers, consumers and the
agrichemical industry  depending on the patent status of the technology adopted  or
discarded due to the research. The size and allocation  of the benefits from “public” R&D
affecting on-patent and  off-patent herbicide use is analysed using economic  surplus
techniques. The results indicate that herbicide  patent status does not have important
implications for  “public” R&D investment decisions.},
