Herbicide Tolerance

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recent Advancements in Gene Expression and Enabling Technologies in Crop Plants

Abstract

Weeds are one of the major causes of yield loss and, depending on the weed pressure and methods of weed control, their yields can be reduced up to 50 %. Agricultural biotechnology has enabled engineering of crops to make them tolerant to one or more broad-spectrum herbicides, allowing for the in-crop use of those herbicides for simplified but effective weed control. The incorporation of herbicide-tolerant crops into farming systems further facilitates no-tillage or low-tillage practices by controlling emerging weeds through post-planting herbicide application, leading to increased water retention in the soil, less soil disruption, less soil erosion, and increased organic matter in the soil. This review discusses the development of glyphosate- and glufosinate-tolerant biotech traits, and the use of trait stacking to fill the immediate needs of farmers facing the challenges of hard-to-control and resistant weeds in their fields. This discussion also considers the development of an additional herbicide-trait system for dicamba tolerance.
