• Resumen

  • No wonder wheat and barley farmers in Europe and Australia have trouble killing ryegrass and black-grass. These plants have a master gene that makes some strains resistant to all malor herbicides. That could be very desirable as black-grass and annual ryegrass pose a growing problem for cereal farmers. In Australia, for example, the plants can wreck entire harvests.
