Herbicide performance in the control of Conyza spp. where three plant heights
Bioscience Journal, 2021 Intensive use of the herbicide glyphosate has led to herbicide resistant Conyza spp. populations. Thus, there is a need to indicate alternative herbicides and the appropriate developmental stage for controlling these populations.
