The EWRS Education & Training Working group is organizing a
pre-congress workshop on herbicide resistance before the IWSC 2022
in Bangkok (Thailand). This free half day workshop will introduce
students and researchers to methods and considerations for the
identification, sampling, confirmation and characterization of
evolved herbicide resistance in weed populations.
The aim of the workshop is to provide attendees with an overview of
the steps required to identify, confirm and manage herbicide
resistance. Specific areas covered will include identifying and
sampling suspected resistant populations, methods for surveying
herbicide resistance at various scales, whole plant resistance
assays and resistance testing methods, dose response analysis and
statistics, resistance diagnostics and identifying mechanisms of
resistance We will use our experience of working with blackgrass
(Alopecurus myosuroides) to provide some real-world examples, though
we anticipate that the methods discussed will be relevant to all
weed species with suspected herbicide resistance. After an
introduction on the different topics, the workshop will be focused
on practical approaches aiming to identify and characterize
herbicide resistant populations in a day to day work.
