Abstract
The rapid evolution of herbicide resistance poses a significant threat for conventional agricultural practices.
In practice, herbicide resistance seems to be a very complicated problem to deal with. Extension can play a
significant role in managing herbicide resistance educating farmers on the main advantages and
disadvantages of the available methods aiming to control and minimize herbicide resistance.
This could be achieved by redirecting the educational efforts more towards the principles of weed biology
and integrated weed management, teaching farmers how to learn, paying attention to the basic prerequisites
for the new control methods and providing precise information about the economic usefulness of each
proposed method.
